GPS Accessories for TomTom

If you already own one of these devices, here are a few GPS accessories to make it that much more enjoyable:

RDS/TMC Traffic Receiver - Similar to those receivers offered by Garmin, the TomTom version gives you access to ongoing traffic issues in the United States and Canada automatically. Also, they give you access to alternative routes in the event that a delay has stalled your original route. And they keep you updated on weather alerts and basic road conditions in real time. When you initially purchase the device, you get a free 12-month subscription. Afterward, you have to pay $60 per year to continue the service.

Wireless Receiver - This receiver is used to enhance your device’s connectivity to satellite feeds so that you can get the best reception even in the most remote areas on the country. If you are walking along in urban areas that have tall building blocking reception, this receiver will eliminate any possibility of you getting lost. It was created to work with multiple Palm devices, Smart cell phones, and Pocket PCs; however, it can also be used in you car, or on a bike.
