Anyone have the weather and traffic alerts in their XM radio subscription? There seem to be two kinds: (1) part of the large subscriptions but just covering the major cities and don't seem to offer maps, etc. but just text weather reports. (2) the NavTeq weather and traffic reports provide maps, radar reports, storm stats, etc. They don't seem to be included in any of the large radio subscriptions but, instead, have to be an addition at $7 per month.

Thus, a full subscription would cost $200 per year plus $84 dollars for the weather and traffic reports. Almost $300 per year seem way too expensive. This, at least, is how I read the XM site. Am I correct.

An alternative would be just to get the music subscription at $120 per year plus the $84 for the weather/traffic.

Anyone have suggestions or observations.

Btw, I know about Pandora and weather reports for my Iphone. I'm trying to ascertain the best plan for XM.
