This is a useful feature when the information is accurate.
My BlackBerry has Google Maps with traffic alerts, and half the time it doesn't work at all, the rest of the time when it does it's often outdated information.
Hopefully as more subscribers pay for this service XM can make it closer to real-time.

Good for them, but cell phone providers have that info, too and update maps for free.
