To provide users with a real-time traffic updates, the GPS gadget supports a service called LIVE Traffic. This will be provided for three months for free, but after the trial period, users can apply for this service and should pay an annual fee.

The good thing about the points of interests is that most of these include phone numbers. (However, the built-in maps only cover Canada, US, and Puerto Rico.)
To further allow users to easily locate certain destinations, GPS 5310 features QuickSpell where they can enter locations and the gadget will automatically provide a list of results.
