How does Traffic sponsored ads work on the Garmin 2360LMT?

Where did you hear that at an iPhone commercial?

on an amazon.com review:

That reviewer is an idiot, if you are navigating a route to a location the adds only shows up when the vehicle stops and is not that intrusive.

The only time the adds may show while driving is when you don't have a set destination.

This past weekend we drove 150 miles and there was not one add that showed up while in route.

I thought I would have been burdened with ad. Surprising its nothing to talk about. One seldom pops up. Haven't had one in about 3 weeks or more.

I have read that if you turn off the traffic function, then you will not see any adds.

That is true...however, the ads are still cached on the unit (Have no idea for how long) so ads may still appear on the unit until the cache gets flushed.

The Ads don't really bother me at all as they don't come up that often at all.

I almost never see one of the ads. It is really a non event at least for me.

I have a Nuvi 1450 and so far the traffic pop up's are minimal and only when stopped.

The ads reside in the DDB\RDS_LBA.ddb folder, the actual file is RDS_LBA.ddb,
The folder is locaten in System\DDB in newer units, and in Garmin|DDB in older units.

It is safe to delete the file but it will reappear again if Traffic is activated.
Disable Traffic, then delete the file.

You can even delete the DDB folder if you wish, but that too will be recreated with traffic enabled and you are in the vicinity of one of the sponsors.

The Ads that do appear could be more useful, all I see is hotel Ads on my GPS, I could use some restaurant Ads. Save some money on going out.

The 1490 shows ads only when stopped.

Thanks for all the responses!

Got my 2360LMT today! Thanks for all the responses!

Now gonna search to see if there is an easy way to transfer my saved locations from my 765T to the new 2360LMT...

Curious to hear your opinion on the pesky ads now that you got the unit, give us some feed back.

I just took my first drive with it a few minutes ago to go to the store. I didn't see any ads!

Does anyone know how to transfer my Favorites from my 765T to my new 2360??? I saw somewhere that someone suggested copying the current.gpx file - I did that but it didn't work, none of my favorites show up. I'd hate to have to re-enter all those things again! Any suggestions???

Sometimes when I arrive at a destination too.

You're on the right track, but you need to rename current.gpx to something else (like temp.gpx) before you copy it into your 2360.

Thanks! That worked!
