Received this email from a blog reader. Any thoughts? I have a Nuvi 360 and don't have either.
"We are moving from the backwoods of Louisiana to the big city and I think that a traffic enabled gps would be a great help for my wife and I; but, I can't decide which provider to go with.
I found your post from 11/07 on gpstracklog.com concerning this issue and was wondering if you had reached a conclusion.
In your opinion, which is better in Dallas, MSN or TMC.
If the MSN traffic service is better than TMC then the gas and weather info would make MSN a real bargain.
On the other hand if neither provider works well in the Dallas area then I'll save money and get a gps that does not offer this feature.
Thanks"
POSTSCRIPT: He is a very anxious buyer and emailed me back today.... "It's not enough that I get what I want.....I have to know that I got the best deal possible -- I know, I know I have a problem, but I'm getting help for it. I got the Garmin C550 for $188 on Amazon. It came with a free 2009 update and free shipping!!!"
Opinions? Did he choose right with TMC? If so, is the c-550 as described above the best sub-$200 model he could have purchased?

Thanks for your thoughts!
I don't know where I'm going or remember where I've been...without Garmin.
