This looks like the best one with traffic.

Garmin Nuvi 265WT
traffic antenna is built into the unit's cigarette lighter charger. However, unlike the Navman S300t, it's not completely incognito as the cable linking the Garmin to your car is double the thickness of normal cables, plus there's a solid black rectangular blob about seven-eighths of the way up said cable.

- If, in your books, AU$549 is a bit too much for a traffic-enabled GPS there's always the narrow screened Nuvi 265T for AU$100 less.

Which portable GPS units have traffic built-in?

The major brands — TomTom, Mio, Navman and Garmin — currently offer a number of GPS units with traffic messaging hardware and a Suna subscription out of the box.

TomTom XL Traffic (2nd generation)

Compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use, the TomTom XL is a great portable GPS. For AU$100 more there's this Traffic version with, uhh, traffic messaging built-in.

TomTom's XL Traffic just squeaks in under the magic AU$500 mark. It's got the same features as the regular XL — good looks, compact size, ease of use and the ability to correct map errors — but, you guessed it, with traffic messaging. Traffic bundles are also available for the more expensive Go 730 and Go 930 models.
Navman's traffic-equipped S300t, with its slimline silver and metal body and iPhone-esque interface, it would be a shoo-in.
