Does this unit have traffic alert? also, can one control the volume on the GPS that is much lower than DVD/USB/radio?

Yes you can set the GPS volume independent of radio volume. And it depends on what you mean by traffic alerts. The unit does use traffic to calculate your route, however, its based on historical data and not live traffic. if you want live traffic alerts then you should look at the newer version, ine-z928 I believe.

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.

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

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

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

The unit provides directions both audibly and on screen. I hope this helps.

I looked up your Garmin and it has traffic capability, so yes this will work with your unit.

Yes. You can continue to listen to music regardless of the other app that you're using (reverse camera, Garmin Street Pilot, searching through your phone contacts on-screen preparing to make a call, etc.). The music automatically mutes when driving directions are issued. I hope this helps. -Dean

I wouldn't buy this product, but I'm looking for something! I have GPS on my Smartphone, and even though I put the highest setting on the speakerphone, I can't hear the directions! Is there another product that will send from the cell phone to my radio that works?? or another solution to boost the volume?

I did the update, went smooth. Do you know is there is a comprehensive list of what was fixed/updated?I have some issues driving on a divided highway (Dale Mabry in Tampa) when you go by all the turn lanes between median, the gps tells you to "stay right ahead", every half mile or so, very annoying and not needed. I am already on the road I should be on. Any word on the volume, I have sebring convertible, with the top up it is noisier than the average car, really can't even hear the gps.

This GPS has 2 ways of getting traffic updates. The FM receiver in the power cord needs no subscription. It updates on fewer roads and at @15 min intervals. The GPS also has a built-in receiver that updates every 2 minutes and on more roads. This second traffic update feature requires the "Live" subscription. Chris

The unit only transmits the signal.Volume controlled by the source [music player] and your vehicle.

Does the Garmin 250 or 200 come with Street name announcements, or just "right & left turn now?" Is the voice annoying? Henry

I've not seen that ability in the menus. Only to connect to a phone and to use the GPS as the audio.

Plug your Garmin into your computer. Then download the Phantom Alert software and follow instructions. Problem is, you can never get rid of it. Once installed, you can only turn it off by turning off "Traffic Info." Be warned.

No - The 65 LMT automatically displays traffic alerts without any additional connections. The only connection that I make to my vehicle is the power connection to the cigarette lighter receptacle. So far I found my Garmin unit to be extremely accurate. No complaints.

I do not have the GPS add on on my radio, but when I do have a back up camera hooked up and it still plays music when the back up camera is on. I can even still change the station. So i imagine it would be the same with the GPS running.

No, it does alert with an audible signal when you are getting ready to make a turn

There is no way that we are aware of to make the alarm louder. You might want to contact Garmin directly.

Not that I'm aware of. This detector is pretty nice. I use the app "waze" on my cell and have a phone holder inserted into my cd player opening and with both devices turned on its a pretty safe drive on the highway here around Tampa. Good luck.
