The fabulous TomTom GO 720 Traffic was being discontinued the last time i checked, which is a shame, but may still available in some stores. It is certainly worth tracking down, because their performance and a long list of features make it a great sat nav unit.
Routing is correct and it is quickly re-calculate, but the display is sometimes a bit confusing, and the amount of information presented cannot be changed. Traffic information can be received "out of the box, but the accuracy is a bit hit and miss. Audible signals are on schedule.
