This particular power cable does not have the capability to enable the traffic feature. You need the cable that has the traffic receiver.

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, 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. Yes, it does have traffic updates.

Not sure, I use it and it fits my nuvi LMT 3597 HD unit. If the 2597 dimensions are the same as your 2597, it should work perfect. At first glance the 3597 and the 2597 are not the same form factor. That does not mean it wont fit though.

I guess I've never had the traffic status on. It has diverted me around high traffic areas without telling me that was what it was doing and I have never seen any ads on the GPS. It does show heavy traffic areas in red, medium traffic in yellow and smooth sailing in green.

Yes. Have not tried using that feature much. The Nuvi was for my husband's car.

I don't know, I've never used it for traffic information, I used it at at altitudes above FL290 where ther is no net, but I believe u would need the net for traffic information.

go to WWW.Garmin.com the campatable units should be listed. HD traffic isn't always available. I choose the 36 bc of the better coverage.

I have not heard of 3D Traffic Updates? but the HD Traffic Updates are on the latest GARMIN nüvi® 3597LMTHD updates every minute and this one every 5min!

Not sure of your question but suggest you search the web for the 2595 LMT. Point-to-point navigation is just the beginning. Share information and Live Services between nvi 2595LMT and your compatible Android phone with Smartphone Link. nvi 2595LMT also features a microSD card slot so you can download custom voices and vehicles for free from the Garmin Garage. Bluetooth connectivity lets you make and take hands-free calls, while dual-orientation functionality lets you hold the nvi vertically or horizontally for added convenience driving or walking. The "Where Am I?" emergency locator provides your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and more, while Enhanced Exit Services tells you what services you're approaching on the highway. Hope this helps.

Yes, but it only appears when it's giving you details about your route (like lanes, ramps, etc...)

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.

It does have traffic updates, but in certain cities. Unfortunately traffic does not work in the City I live in. So that feature is useless to me.

I looked up your Garmin and it has traffic capability, so this should with your Nuvi just fine.

no. There are no street name announcements in the 200 or 250. Look at the nuvi 260 and nuvi 350.

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).
