NOTE: Sorry - I think this was originally posted in developer forum by mistake. Here is original:

Hello All,
OK, I took my Nuvi 255WT out of the box, plugged it into computer, registered, did software update to GPS, doing Map install to GPS only and trying now to figure how to make Traffic work.

I'm starting out right, but need to get the traffic subscription going and am faced with 3 choices on www.garmin.com/traffic:

1. FM Traffic
2. MSN Direct
3. XM NavTraffic

Last choice doesn't apply I think since I do not use XM Radio.

What is better? FM Traffic or MSN Direct?

I'm located on East Coast of US.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I think the boxes should all have big labels to register/update maps within 60 days of getting satellite signal. I was lucky enough to register before satellite connection, but there are lots of posts about those who now can't get map update that Garmin can avoid with better retail packaging.
