MSN Direct service to shutdown in 2012
That MSN direct service you may have paid for (possibly with your Garmin Nuvi) will be shutting down on January 1 2012. I guess in this era of 3G connectivity having to pay for a wimpy service over FM signals to get movie time updates and gas prices isn’t that lucrative

I guess in this era of 3G connectivity having to pay for a wimpy service over FM signals to get movie time updates and gas prices isn’t that lucrative. Of course there was the traffic service too.
For decent live traffic updates you can use crowdsourced Google Maps, Inrix apps, and probably bunch of other services.
