Garmin Mobile Now Delivers Gas Price And Traffic Jam Reports

Tuesday July 11, 2006
Garmin Mobile, a GPS map service offered on some Sprint phones, now offers live traffic reports and suggests alternate routes. What else? They also added gas price information, very timely, just when gas prices are so high! But will a 10 cents difference on over 3 dollars gas prices really make a difference? Either way, you are ruined if you own a SUV.

Their service is way too much for something you might use once or twice a week.

http://2mob.net app is what I use to get my gas prices. 5.99/year, that’s right a year!

For traffic reports I use a local radio. It works! Try to use your cell phone to get traffic reports and you might end up in the news and in the hospital :-(
