As header - please follow the following link to bid: http://eswap.co.uk/cgi-bin/search.cgi?autopart&905966512 BTW, I think I must of made a mistake when I set the reserve price - the highest bid will be accepted regardless of whether the auction states that the reserve price is met or not. Product Info: TrafficMate - Live Traffic Information From 24hr Sensor Network The Trafficmate unit is very compact (around 6" x 3") and can be attached to your dashboard using the pads provided. It is powered by 4 AA batteries (supplied). A digitised voice 'speaks' traffic information as you are driving. A typical message will be: "You are near M1 junction 14, M1 southbound, slow traffic for 4 miles between junctions 11 and 12 expect ten minutes delay. Northbound traffic flowing freely" ** How Does it Work? ** Information on traffic flow is gathered from a network of over 2400 infra-red, bridge mounted sensors, which monitor the speed of traffic passing below. When the speed drops below 30mph, the system alerts the National Traffic Data Centre in Milton Keynes via a radio signal. The information is instantly sent out to over 1,500 local transmitter stations throughout the country's motorway network. Each transmitter station has a unique ID code and is capable of 'filtering' all motorway traffic information relevant to that particular site (to within a range of 10 miles or a minimum of 2 motorway junctions ahead of the vehicles position) and translates it into coded messages. These messages are transmitted to the Trafficmate unit via a local radio signal. The Trafficmate unit converts these coded messages into audio which is then broadcast to the user using verbal messages. Brand New & Boxed. Includes 12 Months Connection (�24 per annum thereafter) & 4 AA batteries. -- E-mail: William.L@bigfoot.com Mobile: (07970) 983157 Cheap Phone Calls: http://www2.prestel.co.uk/lann
