Some of our cars had a Trafficmaster system fitted from the factory and I believe it is that which no longer works. I had mine installed by Trafficmaster when I bought the car in early 2006 (my ex-wife worked for Trafficmaster and the system had been fitted in previous cars I owned but I transferred it over) and that still works fine. It broke a couple of years ago and they came out and fitted a new unit but it still works very well and I make good use of it.

Now if I press my satnav button for two seconds the phone line takes me to an operator (a human!) and I tell them verbally where I want to go, with or without a postcode. They then send the route to my car and it talks me through the route until I reach my destination or I switch it off.

I have found it an excellent system. I am not dependent upon out-of-date disks and it will divert me around roadworks or accidents. I pay about £11 per month for it.
