Traffic Pros and Cons

 
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:05pm

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 that I love, however, I don't have the device to receive traffic. I saw there is GTM and MSN traffic. Which works with my unit and can you please tell me how good these traffic units work? I saw another device that displayed the weather. Does the traffic unit also give weather?

I believe you can get the GTM10. The 350 will not work with the MSN receivers (the MSN Direct service is the one that does weather, gas prices, movie showtimes, news, stocks, local events).

GTM traffic

While any traffic receiver is dependent upon imput, and there is a delay of information available, overall if you travel in a large often congested city i think the GTM works pretty well. I have been using it about 2 years in Houston and travel to other cities and find iit useful.

I started with the GTM10 or 12 and have the MSN in my 780. While the info may be delayed at times, I do find it to be helpful.

Traffic Receiver

Although I can't say how well either the GTM 10 or the GTM 12 works, I would recommend looking in to the GTM 12. The GTM 10 is a permanent installation in your car. Granted the reception might be a little bit better, but the GTM 12 is portable. I checked and the GTM 12 does work with the Nuvi 350.
