Questions & Answers

Do you know if this works with a Dezl 770LM?

I can confirm that this will work with a Dezl

The gtm 36 will work with my garmin 1450 lmt, but what about the display?

In fact, yes. Originally, I had a 1450, but this worked as a replacement.

What are the chances of this GTM 36 working with my 2595LMT?

My combination of && is what I use I am satisfied with the way it works, even the traffic is fine. I bought this cable for my traffic receiver, because that's what I used it Although I have it in my car permanently, I like to use the 2595LMT in my truck during the winter as well, so I wanted an additional The 2595LMT retains its entire functionality, but it is not cheap

I assume the LMT comes equipped with a traffic receiver, so why would you need to have a GTM 60?

A traffic receiver is included in the GTM 60 power cable, which is supported by the Nuvi 2595. If you need a second power cable for a different vehicle, you can buy this item as a spare. case I am wiring the supplied cable into a console, so I purchased a second GTM 60 for another vehicle.

This is ideal for switching vehicles or renting a car
5/5

In my semi, I have an older and, in the case of new GPS systems coming out every week, much older GPS. The backbone of the cellular network is an FM radio signal, an older style, recently obsolete for areas surrounding metro areas where traffic tie-ups are a common occurrence. In the traffic system, this is the part "A" that is necessary. In addition to the flexible FM antenna wire, part "B", you need to plug it into the receptacle. There is no antenna included with the purchase. The device has a suction cup that allows it to be placed vertically, which is the most effective position for A fatal accident caused the interstate around Omaha to close early in the morning, so I was forced to take a detour around the city. As the next best route through Omaha was under construction and had traffic issues, I turned to Plan "C", which never had any issues. I may have lost a few minutes along the way, but I didn't get stuck for an hour or more in morning rush hour. As a result of today's traffic, this happens on a daily basis. An antenna should be separate from the transmitter.

It works as a replacement
5/5

As part of a replacement for the cord that came with my Nubi 1450, I bought this cord. In those days GPS units were an invitation for break-ins, so I always stored them in a locked cabinet when parked in a public area. Mini-problems were the result of the mini-scheme After some time, I had to replace the USB connector because it went bad and became loose. Similar to the original, this version works as well. One problem is that the traffic subscription is only valid for the life time of the cable, not of the Nuvi or you. There was a chance that if I called Garmin customer service and pushed for a better price, I could have gotten a better price, but I had more important things to do. Voici a suggestion As often as possible, make sure you unplug this cable from your GPS device. There will be a longer life for the connector.

It's a dumb idea for Garmin to require their app to be downloaded for free traffic
4/5

It's a dumb idea for Garmin to require their app to be downloaded for free traffic. In an area where I don't have traffic, I received this gadget for the Drive 51 LM (no traffic at all), so that I didn't have to rely on my phone for navigation. I'm not sure if Traffic is always available, but it appears to work well enough. I've driven in Denver traffic on a few occasions and my GPS warned me that the road was smooth or, it told me that there was traffic while I was cruising along with virtually no traffic. There is no Garmin here, it is a Denver FM traffic thing.

I could not find any differences between it and the one that came with my GPS
5/5

My old one had a broken wire and would no longer work, so I bought a regular power cord and, of course, wasn't able to receive all the traffic alerts, which I love about my gps, so I bit the bullet and bought a new The hot shot is great to have back. I drove the hot shot for years and it was a great asset. These days, I only use it for the 5er, which is nice to avoid slowdowns on the road and maneuver myself safely around accidents.

In comparison to the original cable that came with my Garmin, this newer GTM 36 unit seems as though it's built more solidly
5/5

It is necessary for those replacing their old Garmin power cable ***specifically for models that feature a traffic radio*** to know this (This Garmin part is the ONLY way to maintain the traffic radio functionality of your device. There are actually two radio units in the unit even other manufacturer's replacement power cables do not include this. The fact that this is a replacement product is apparently not mentioned in any other review I have read. In addition, take note of the following It seems that the cable on the new GTM 36 unit is built better than the cable that came with my Garmin, so I assume it should last for.

The old one can be replaced directly
5/5

This is the problem. The old one can be replaced directly. This fails to address the issue that Garmin assumed you would route your power over the GPS based on plug in angle (or it did not The GPS is powering my computer, so I guess that's possible, but I've always routed power from the GPS down. As a result of this stress, the wire broke after 5 years, and a replacement cable was required. The price is still cheaper than a new GPS from TOL Garmin.

Excellent cable
5/5

The length of the cable is not very long where it fits my Garmin perfectly.

Adding the nuvi 2575RLM to my list of features was a great idea
5/5

As a student in Pittsburgh, sometimes I travel to other cities for midterm breaks or breaks during the semester. Having trouble with traffic in Pittsburgh, PA is a rare occurrence for me. The nuvi 2575RLM will have a great feature to help me avoid traffic when I'm outside of Pennsylvania. It appears to be an excellent traffic receiver based on the reviews I've read. Others said there are local ads, while others said the site does not pick up My review for this product can be found here. With the cradle that came with it, I paired this FM Traffic Receiver to my nuvi 2575RLM. Access Tools by clicking on the menu bar Changing the setting. As well, there is now an icon for There is a single option to enable this FM traffic feature, as well as to display which traffic receiver I subscribe to. I am subscribed to lifetime traffic US and Canada at the moment. This is California. In the end, it took me 5 minutes to make this item picking up the signal and showing up the green circle icon on the left (the icon of two cars overlapping with a I will be able to access these three additional menu items by clicking on this icon You can see the traffic map or search for traffic by clicking "Show traffic map". If I set my GPS to a particular destination and am on the current route, then one last icon will appear "Traffic on route. ". I. *br. The traffic map will be color coded if you click "Show traffic map". There's a red light for heavy traffic, a yellow light for crowded but moving traffic, and a green light for light If you are dealing with traffic, the nuRoute should not be used unless it is set up to avoid it.

I hope you find it helpful.
