Kurtz is right on the prices, they are around $75. The only reason I thought it was expensive is because the last time I checked was around a year ago.

Um... I didn't know there's an annual fee for real time traffic, my friend has a TomTom (not sure the model) he has real time traffic on his but no annual fee and he didn't pay a lifetime fee as well...

This is the one I am going to order, doesn't look like it comes with a charger/traffic receiver.

That MSN options looks really cool lol. Wish its free...

Well, IIRC the MSN one comes with a year of service free...
It's fairly cheap for the service after that (you can easily buy the service and new maps every year for less than half what Lexus gets for JUST new maps and no traffic possible)

Tomtom says their traffic costs money-

This seems to be talking about Europe though... but they seem to offer 2 choices, one service that requires a cell phone and is about $80 a year and one that does not but requires a $160 purchase for lifetime service... those prices are pretty comparable to the Garmin traffic option costs.
