Are there any GPS programs that I can use on my MPX200? Like a live, up to the minute freeway traffic congestion map, or live GPS tracking on Streets, etc? Anything like that?

Pharos offers smart traffic for the smartphone, but it is not GPS based for the phone, it is area/city based. I recommend checking out their site as well as far as traffic information is concerned.

yes it is a subscription fee. You can pay per month, quarter, or year. All the prices are on the site. If you are in a Metro area I think that it is worth it, at least until something better comes along, but this is the best I have seen for the MPx200...
