Garmin 750 Traffic Options

 
Sun, 01/18/2009 - 12:44pm

I have had a 750 for the past few months. I noticed that it has the capability to give me traffic info (with some help) I see that Garmin has the VIB 11 available but it seems pricey. Are there any other options available that will do the same thing. If so do they require a monthly, yearly or one time fee?

Thanks to all for your help....

The traffic options available for a 750 can be found on Garmin's site:

I bought a GTM-20 on eBay for under $20, then added the lifetime ($60-ish) Clear Channel traffic subscription and it works well with my 750.

I see that you can buy a new GTM-20 from Garmin with lifetime NAVTEQ traffic for a list price of $119.99:

Check the availability of traffic data (both Clear Channel and NAVTEQ with the GTM 20...or MSN Direct with the MSN GDB 50 receiver) and choose the provider that offers you the best coverage for your travel areas.

Thanks for all the info. Now it is time for me to decide which option is best.
