A:AnswerFor the first time you need to bring it to near a highway or to a bigger city so that it can subscribe to service providers. That is one time. After that you should receive traffic updates.
A:AnswerNo. You don't need to use a holder or use the included mount to use it. You could place or prop it inside a cubbyhole of a floor console or some other area inside of vehicle. Although, for safety you may want to attach the unit to your window with the included mount or purchase a friction mount for your dashboard, so the unit doesn't become a dangerous projectile in the unfortunate event of an accident.

A:AnswerNo antenna needed for the areas I've traveled in Central Maine. I've only used listening to GPS voice notification and that has been great. I would recommend "test" driving with directions to known destinations. Built my confidence in the product.
