Een subtle warning voor onze navigatie enthousiasten:

Hi everyone,

I want to give out an alert to whomever thinks of buying subscriptions out of the upgrade section of the HTC Locations app.

The subscription "Traffic information" is NOT working. At least you expect traffic information to light up on the map, like Google Navigation does. But it doesn't the only thing that mentions something about traffic is the "Car Panel" settings. But thats only about when it should update the traffic info. Thus making traffic information totally useless .

Yet another expectation is that it should reroute your route to avoid traffic jams with this. It fails to do this either.

So my conclusion is you're buying vaporware here.

Support on this product is unbelievably bad. There is NO manual in the HTC Desire HD, Nor does Route 66 deliver instructions on how to use this crap piece of software that they call premium navigation.

HTC Support POV:
"Sorry, the locations app is build by a third party than HTC, namely Route 66. Please contact them for support on this.".
I can confirm this because whatever you buy from the locations app is processed and credited from Route 66.

So I went and call Route 66:
"Sorry, but the application is provided by HTC on your phone. We have nothing to do with this. The order you say is processed by us isn't ours. Please contact HTC for support on your purchase. *Hangs up phone*"

So Route 66 doesn't want to refund my purchase, in which they obviously got paid by me.

So my advice:
Don't buy anything from this scam
