Gaari Means Car. Car Reviews & Car News

Purchased this to use with my Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT. It does everything it says it is supposed to and installation was easy. For the time remaining before the service is shut down, January 1 2012, it’s a great piece of hardware. Microsoft is currently offering service for the remainder of this time for a total of $29.95, so it’s a good value when you break down the monthly cost of service plus equipment, as long as you buy it in the first 6 months of 2010. I would have given it 5 stars if the service was not going away in 2012 and if the coverage areas were larger (only MAJOR metro areas are currentl covered, with some ajacent metros on the frignes duw to their vicinity to others).

It’s really neat to see real time traffic warnings, get weather info and instant directions to cheap gasoline! News, stock info, local events and movie times are mostly a novelty, but still pretty neat.

I have my fingers crossed that someone will take thisservice over after MSN calls it quits, or a replacement interface of some type will be released to provide the same kind of data in the future.
