I meant that in order to setup a US account, didn't you have to provide a US address?

They never asked for a US address but I gave them someone that I know. They may or may not ask. I told them my Credit Card was Canadian and they didn't care.

Just an update: I continue to receive flawless Navigation response (6-9 Satellites) and very accurate traffic updates. Total after conversion is $20.65 a month CAD.

That's awesome! I hope I can get it as I don't have any address association in the USA.

I hope you can this is awesome. What's really neat is when you have navigated route in place it obviously takes traffic into account but even when you don't and the map is just on and displaying, it color codes the road (or HWYs) that you're on based on traffic flow, so if you're on the 401 and there is no traffic, there will be a green line, if it's slow, orange line and if it's bumper to bumper it's red, so you can zoom out and see when traffic will open up. It also shows construction zones, it's pretty sweet.

Here is some pics of what I am talking about above. Sorry I used my camera phone while driving so some camera shake hence the blurriness:

So the first pic shows you the details of each traffic report when you press the "info" button below the "Navi" button.

Second pictures shows up coming traffic warnings (see the left side) during a route that you're navigating in.

Last 2 pics show HWY 401 going west, you'll notice red lines indicated back to back traffic, yellowish orange show slow traffic and green shows moving normal traffic.

Any questions, let me know.
