Garmin sells an optional GTM 60™ HD Digital Traffic Receiver for an additional $69.99, however I haven't tried one and don't know if it's worth the extra or if it would be throwing good money after bad. I recommend that in addition to making sure the...

The Garmin I bought in 2009 lived in my car 24/7 and though the GPS still works, the display sometimes goes blank when I touch it. This one has a few new features I like, such as finding satellites and becoming functional much faster and telling me to...

The biggest con as compared to my 2009 Garmin is what they're now calling Lifetime Traffic. My previous GPS had an actual radio receiver on the power cord, that would divert me around traffic jams in real-time. I have no idea how this new one works...

Many great features

 

Among the features that I love the most is the voice activation. Now I can be on the move, talk to the Nuvi and it will do what I need it to do. I have a GPS in my car but this one provides free updates for life and for what it costs, I would only get...
