does traffic option work

The size of this device is excellent, the split screen is also very good but I never used the traffic option so I cannot tell you if is good or not.

I'm not sure what the traffic option is. If that is something that you need to subscribe to a service for, then I don't have that. I really like this GPS and what it does. I'm just not sure what the option is that you're asking about. Sorry.

Traffic option works fine in major metro areas. I live 100 miles from nearest metro (Orlando) but it works fine when I drive down there. One neat feature is it tells you about any accidents anywhere on your route. If I am 50 miles from the accident and it is on my route it tells me, and if the traffic clears up it beeps and tells you the route is clear.

The USA version of this unit does NOT have traffic alerts. So NO -No traffic alerts, but it does pop up speed limits and Yes you control the GPS volume seperately

No traffic alerts. It does a real time pop up animation when you approach a fork in most larger freeways. And yes gps volume control is available.

It does not have traffic updates. All TomTom models with traffic have a T at the end. M is for maps. TM will have both and S is the basic with neither.To get traffic updates you would have to pay extra and get a different power adapter (receiver for traffic is in the 12 volt power cord).

this cable will work fine...it's just that you won't get traffic updates..as in accidents or congestion..other than that it will work fine...not a big deal.

not quite like google maps' traffic layer on android/iphone, but yes there is traffic info. the navigation recommends alternate routes that you can preview & accept, or ignore at times traffic gets heavy

Yes, they are the same. Garmin separates the model vs add-on components (like a traffic receiver), which this unit comes with. There is nothing to do to activate the traffic feature. Just plug it into you car's battery port (cigarette lighter) and if you are in an area that has traffic service, it will work. And if you get a screen telling you to go to Garmin's website and "activate" the traffic feature, ignore it.

Hello Daina,I don't know if there is an option in the setting that would permit this...It only loads the best rout that it calculates to be the best option. If you connect it with the traffic sensor, and depending on the traffic in your planed rout, it may give a new option (route), and let you know how much time you could save... You will however, have to accept the suggestion before your GPS could implement it (the new route )...Have a great day,Kevin

Yes it will... When you first turn the switch back on, the traffic advisor automatically comes on... If you have your takedown and alley lights flashing they will come on as well... You will have to hit the full flash button to activate the rest of the bar and it will flash the last pattern you used

Yes it has those options including the 'NO Toll Road' option.I really liked the mini 'speed limit' sign on the screen. Traveling on new roads or interstate hwys where spd limit is constantly changing... the screen shows you the limit.

Yes it does. I didn't know it had this feature and was pleasantly surprised to automatically get notices of traffic delays and "faster route" displays on the Garmin. I really like the Garmin, but it doesn't give much audible notice of upcoming left and right turns until it is too late to safely make lane changes.

Traffic does show up on the Tom Tom. At least it tells me there is a delay...

No. It's only good for free lifetime map updates. You'll have to get the next one up that gives you traffic updates.

Yes - and as an update this is still working great for me. Keep in mind though - the traffic updates are through your power cable supplied by nuvi. Its the cable itself that has the traffic receiver in it. So this will charge it and will position it but if you want traffic updates you have to use the original cable connected to a power source.

Exactly as Timothy answered. The traffic receiver is a lifesaver in heavy traffic areas and even identified school zones for an extra level of help.

yes it does have traffic alert and gives you alternate routes, the volume is adjustable but I'm not sure if it is lower that the others, I'm sure you could mute just the GPS

Yes .When you select a destination you select current route and then from the menu, you can select walking, bicycle or car.
