Will the GPS on this kenwood do live traffic?

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 don't know. The GTM 25 works with traffic. If you just need a charger, I would use google for your Garmin model and look for accessories.

If you are talking about 340TM unit (Lifetime Maps and Traffic), it does not have the Live services capability. The traffic on the 340TM unit comes through an RDS/FM receiver which is built into the car power supply. According to my experience, the traffic information is quite useful, e.g., it avoided closed roads in Boston. I have seen slow traffic reported only on highways but never on local roads (however, I've only used the unit for 2 days).

No. The GPS function serves as accurate speed if the vehicle. It also serves the purpose of photo enforcement cameras ect.

This GPS comes with a car charger only, and the directions say that to get live traffic updates you must using that specific cord at the time. The other cord is for downloading updated maps from your computer. I have used this a few times now and like it. It is better than my daughter's older one, and it is not as annoying as the old one.

No it does not. But you can purchase a map upgrade that you can then use for the life of the unit. It does however come with lifetime traffic updates.

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 gives you the correct speed must be that the reference GPS are connected to strong signal.

Yes! Fastest route is the default ... and it takes its real time traffic info into account! This GPS is a very good unit that is much better than last year's version. The voice instructions are more helpful than before and the spoken enunciation is much better than before ... it almost sounds real rather than computer generated. As always with all car GPS units, it gives strong preference to interstates and major highways over secondary highways and local roads, so if you are familiar with an area, you may be know of a faster route than the one it finds. And, of course, be very cautious about minor roads in remote areas that were mapped from aerial photos without on-site verification. This is the best GPS unit I have seen; you should be very happy with it.

No, as it doesn't read the speed limit data as a navigational GPS does. You can just get an alarm for a set speed you choose.

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. Using the phone navigate programs? Yes. Definitely when your using the kenwood navigation system.

It uses the same USB input as the other Nuvi models but it DOES NOT support the traffic option. I have a 2455LMT that works fine with the cigarette lighter cord but when this cord is used it disables the traffic function. The map, directions & GPS work fine. I haven't found a hard wire cord that provides traffic. Since the traffic feed is FM, I assume the antenna is in the cord. If you don't need traffic it will work for you.

Yes the GO uses my existing smartphone to gather traffic data to let me know where the traffic jams are and route me around them. Previously I had to pay for a second data service to get real time traffic... and it cost quite a bit of money! I already pay for a data plan on my phone so this makes perfect sense to me. Also the traffic quality of a real time data version is much better than the traffic over the radio type (the old way). I thought it would use a lot of data too but looking at my phone it looks like 4 MB was used last month which is really low (lower than I expected)

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

It does not have GPS hardware for driving navigation. It will use Google Location services to show your current WiFi location
