Does this give traffic? Does it work for the NUVI 2597 LMT?

It does not give traffic. I have no idea where you live, but in the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan market i say "who cares?". When the original cord with the traffic reception worked, the best I could hope for is that - after I'd been sitting still on a Beltway for 1/2 hour - it would say "traffic ahead". I'm glad to be rid of it. With regard to your specific model, I can't be sure. Having said that, I'd really be quite surprised if it didn't work. For me, this has been a great replacement charger at a fraction of the cost of a charger that has the traffic receiver. But if the traffic notifications actually work for you in your area, you might want to buy one from Garmin.

No. This particular cable does not provide Traffic connection. Only GPS power.

It will, the traffic is like most gps systems and has a little lag time, it also does need to be activated for a one time $50 fee.

I think you have to have an antenna for traffic reception. I'm looking for one now. If you can get the traffic report it will then. a Garmin will reroute you if you take a different course. the big ones are actually made for trucks, but to us that means they won't tell you to U turn 486 times because a truck can't. 1 advantage.

No - this will charge the battery, but not provide Traffic Updates. Traffic models are prefaced with either GTM or TA

I live outside of Boston. We had a Nuvi 760 and subscribed to the FM traffic. It broks so I exchanged it at Best Buy and got a 780. It came with a free subscription to MSN Direct or FM Traffic. We chose MSN direct and never once found it useful. It would only show me a 1 or 2 minute delay about 35 minutes ahead on our route. I found the FM Traffic to be very useful. Once we were driving through NY City and the highway was stop and go. The Nuvi piped up and said an alternate route is available. Loved the help it gave. I began to take it whenever I drove a long distance so it would give me the traffic update. Will not use MSN again.

How about the 885 without MSN Direct, and adding the GTM 20, which gives Navtec fm traffic? That's what I'm considering doing. Might want to call Garmin to see if this option will give you what you want. If you do, would you report back?Yes. 855 is the one i mean. Sorry for the confusion.

Not sure but it did support my nuvi 2597 LMT (5" screen) with no vibration or bouncing during travel.

If your nuvi is a newer model, the traffic receiver is internal, and this cable will work. Older models require the GTM series of cables to get traffic information. If your unit has the internal traffic receiver, go to Settings: Device: About. If the third line on this screen says something like "traffic receiver: internal", _ANY_ USB Micro cable will get traffic information when you are close to major cities.

I found out from Garmin that a traffic receiver is available. It is GTM 25 and sells for about $100. It will provide lifetime traffic and is compatible with several GPS units. Some are 285wt, 205 series. I would suggest to anyone that has a traffic receiver with MSN to try out the traffic feature and if you like it or need it, then purchase a traffic receiver.

Yes, but the traffic will not work. (The traffic receiver is in the original car adapter)

It is working correctly for "Garmin nvi 1350LMT 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates". Not sure about Garmin 2577. Believe cable you are looking for is "GTM 60 HD Digital Traffic Receiver" which can be found on garmin.com (https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/traffic-receivers/gtm-60-hd-digital-traffic-receiver/prod104181.html).

Sir , I have a Garmin 2597 LMT 5" inch Bluetooth portable , it has life time maps, traffics all the bells and whistles ,I picked mine up for a song only$167.00 + 12.19 shipping so, around $180.00. I am happy with mine! Don't know about 2577 models!

I have a nuvi 2595 and it doesn't fit in the unit very well and pops out and onto the floorboard if you use the touchscreen. I would not recommend it.

Yes will work with NUVI 65LMT -however a notice may post when u connect it stating this charger is not compatible with traffic notifications, but that pertains to different traffic program you sign up for. You still get the basic traffic that comes with unit. Hope this helps

Hi Michelle, I bough the GPS and it's been working very good for me, I know that does it have live traffic but you need to buy an antenna and I know you got have it connected in to the internet (Wi-Fi) otherwise won't work, I don't use that so that's why I can't tell you more about it, but it's a good Truck GPS.
