Will this also charge nuvi 65LMT (this is the version with 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.

Good question. I don't know. I never used it for a Garmin Nuvi. I only used it to charge iPad, iPod, iPhone and other cell phones. Sorry.

If you look at the cable that comes with your Nuvi, you'll that there is a rectangular piece on the cable. That's the traffic receiver. It picks up traffic signal for your Garmin. This cable, although has something similar, does not have the receiver. So, if you use it, you won't be able to get the traffic information for your Garmin.It will work with your Garmin. I actually bought it for my Garmin Dash Cam 20 and hard-wired it to my fuse box.

No, you need to be in an area where traffic updates are offered. And that's only in selected cities. See Garmin's website.

No. It will allow you to plan your own detour. You must put the detour in manually. Now, Garmin does offer a traffic app but they charge you for it.

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

Only compatible for charging- you want the Garmin GTM 25,26,35 or 36 to charge and receive traffic

You are right. Thanks for the correction. If people want traffic for their 255 they can purchase a traffic receiver, but it's fairly expensive.

It is compatible. The 2555LMT, may have a built in traffic receiver. You can verify this buy selecting settings, device, about. If you have traffic info, it is built in, if not the external cable will be needed.

I bought the garmin nuvi 265t a couple of days from tigerdirect.com for $179 on sale. This is the same price as the nuvi 255 at amazon . If i don't like the free time traffic alert, I will just buy a vehicle power cable for $25 and use it instead of the GTM 25

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

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.

Good info...and thanks for the link. I have an 8GB Class 6 and it is working fine in the nuvi 855.

Yes it does, you get both Maps and Traffic updates for life! Also, the car charger is also the traffic receiver. This unit works GREAT!

Yes, it does have traffic updates. However it is difficult to determine the accuracy of those traffic reports, because conditions are constantly changing, so by the time you arrive at the area that had an earlier-displayed slowdown, you'll never know if things cleared up or got worse moments before you arrived at the location. After driving ~6000 miles on a northeastern road trip last summer (areas with lots of traffic), my impression is that the traffic updates were largely accurate and helpful. Oh, by the way, we didn't get traffic capabilities that require extra equipment or subscriptions. We just got the basic model.

That's a tough question. The Amazon page doesn't list it, but the Garmin power cord offered by the manufacturer for your device is also compatible with the nuvi 1370 (according to Garmin), and this device is claimed to be compatible with the 1370. so I would say YES! All of the nuvi series use a 5 volt power supply (which this unit has), so the only compatibility issue is if the mini-USB connector is the same size. This certainly seems to be the case here. Incidentally, you do realize that your traffic warnings won't work with this cable, right? The traffic part requires a special power cord with a receiver built in. Nonetheless, I use this cord with my 1450 for most of the driving I do, since the traffic is not usually an issue. Using this cord saves wear & tear on the 70 buck traffic cord, which I only use for long trips into unfamiliar territory. So, order this - I think it's a safe gamble if you want a basic power cord. (I'm an electronic technician with 45 years experience, so I am rather informed about the issues here.)

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.
