MSN Direct? December 25, 2008, 05:58:23 pm Yahoo Message Number: 98138Finally updated my GPS receiver to a Nuvi 880 with MSN Direct. There's a free trial offer for 3 months, but looking at their coverage area, it's spotty indeed, covering only the larger metropolitan areas. Might be useful if we were full-timing or on the road a lot, or lived in the city - - none of those apply!What do other LD'ers think of MSN Direct?Oh, and Merry Christmas from,bumper Yonder[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

The free MSN Direct took me around road repair/closings that even the locals hadn't known about yet. Kept us on schedule more than once, so it was great. But as you say, Bumper, unless you spend a lot of time in major metropolitan areas, it doesn't do you much good. We took advantage of the free time and didn't subscribe. Haven't missed it once. But I also haven't been driving around major metro areas! And Merry Christmas to you, too! Dick
