Get Live Traffic Via Cobra Nav One 4500 Mobile

Cobra's NAV ONE 4500 is a highly portable navigation system that offers relief while driving through the live traffic info available. It is portable and so you can effortlessly move it from car to car. You can even take it with you on a trip, avoiding those premium fees charged by rental car companies. The NAV ONE 4500 can receive real-time traffic information to let you know if construction or an accident is blocking your programmed route, and the system can even reroute you around such an obstacle. Keep in mind that this service requires a paid subscription. The NAV ONE 4500 can also relay the average speed of traffic on the roads ahead, so you can determine traffic congestion before deciding to take a particular route. The unit is large (4.17 by 6.45 by 2.28 inches) and heavy (1.28 pounds), but the 5-inch TFT color touch screen and built-in map drive make it all worthwhile. The backlit display has a 320x240-pixel resolution, and it's bright and easy to read, even in direct sunlight. The touch screen is also very responsive. The use of large, colorful icons makes it easy to navigate through the menu system, where you can create routes, select points of interest (POI), customize settings, and enter commands and addresses via the onscreen keyboard. The NAV ONE 4500 has a 5-inch touchscreen display, and turn-by-turn voice navigation makes getting to your destination easy. The included map database covers the United States and Canada, and it features seven million points of interest. There are even 3-D views of intersections, which can really come in handy in certain situations. The real-time traffic receiver is by far the coolest feature of the Cobra NavOne 4500. An included receiver picks up FM-radio signals from the Clear Channel radio network and overlays traffic conditions on to the map. With this information, you can view trouble areas, such as construction zones, slow-moving roadways, and other traffic incidents before you arrive on the scene. Cobra gives you a free 90-day subscription to the traffic-information network when you purchase the NavOne 4500; after that, it'll cost you $59 a year for the service.
