Is the TL Navi system something that has a monthly fee? Or is it like
Street Pilot ot Tom Tom, just linking to GPS?

Thanks

No fee.   The Navigation system uses free information from the GPS
satellelites to determine where you are and stored information on a
DVD-ROM in the trunk to turn that information into a map.  You can buy
map updates as often as once per year if you want to at a cost of around
$185.  So far I'm updating ours every three years.

The latest Garmin portable units are now getting pretty good for under
$500, so you might want to think hard about the Garmin vs. a dedicated
unit.

But it won't be integrated with the radio, and Blue Tooth phone like the TL
system...

There is a monthly fee for the real-time traffic updating for the
navigation.  I think it's about US $10 per month.

Hi,

I checked the Acura web site.  Real time traffic updating is optional on the
TL and standard on the TL-S.

Real-time traffic is delivered by XM satelite radio.  If you pay for the XM
radio service already, then the traffic data is $4/month extra.  $10/month is
if you do not get the XM radio.
