LOL Unfortunately there is no way for me to get between home and work without taking 360 - which it didn't take me long to figure out why everyone either works 6-3:30 or 9:45 - 6:15. To be honest there are about 3-4 lights they need to rip out and put in an over or underpass on 360 and it would make a huge difference. You'd think with all the rich tech companies moving to Austin they'd have enough money... Right now what takes 10 minutes with no traffic takes over 1 hr if I try to go home anywhere in the 4pm to 6pm range.


The traffic info is no so much for the commute but when I need to go to the airport where there is about 5 different routes I can take or when going somewhere on Saturday there can be an accident etc.


I don't think I am going to subscribe to XM - the sound quality seems worse than FM, there aren't any particular channels I am in love with, and seems at least for our area the traffic info it feeds to our headunits is worse than worthless for Austin.
