Will I still be able to see traffic with this charger? I have Garmin 1390LMT

Please be more specific when asking a question... I have no idea what you are asking about, as do most of people who give you answers (see the range of answers). I had two of these chargers and both of them are broken at this moment. I went back to more expensive, but also more reliable original Garmin chargers.

What do you mean by see traffic, will the charger be in the way? it is a small cord that plugs into a cigarette lighter

I would say yes. I have my Garmin mounted in the middle of the windshield and have no sight issues when it's plugged in.

Don't think so. I don't have the program in my unit, but I don't remember that this charger claimed to be able to provide the extra info

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.

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

You can power a 3790LMT with this cable, but the traffic function did not work with my 3790LMT. I just got the error "Traffic Receiver requires a software update" every time i plugged it in. I left it powered on all day long and still the same error. I checked my receiver using both Garmin Express and the old Garmin Webupdater. Both showed my receiver to have all the latest updates. Tried multiple times over an entire week. I emailed Garmin support and they said it was not compatible, get the GTM 36.

As long as your adapter is not defective, have no fear of frying your Garmin. The only issue I am aware of for this particular adapter is that it's not as widely compatible for the Nuvi models as the seller/mfr claims

That's pretty wild! The vehicle charger that came with the unit had some type of special reciever module in the middle of the cord used to update traffic. So you don't want to use any ol regular charger. Your best bet is to send back the entire package for a proper replacement. You might be able to order one directly from Garmin, but they'll probably charge you for it because it's not a warranty issue.

Yes. I bought a standard adapter and plugged the Garmin charger into it and it worked fine.

Hello, I have the charger described and it does not have a round connector which plugs into the Garmin nuvi 3597LM. The power supply Model Number is TC-28-050200 has a miniature USB connector which is used for the Garmin 3597LM. John C.

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.

As long as it has a current map loaded and you can receive a signal where your going... You should be able too...

If your Garmin has a mini (not micro) USB connection port, it should be fine.

I think you have to have an antenna for traffic reception. I'm looking for one now. If you can get the traffic report it will then. a Garmin will reroute you if you take a different course. the big ones are actually made for trucks, but to us that means they won't tell you to U turn 486 times because a truck can't. 1 advantage.

It does not give traffic. I have no idea where you live, but in the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan market i say "who cares?". When the original cord with the traffic reception worked, the best I could hope for is that - after I'd been sitting still on a Beltway for 1/2 hour - it would say "traffic ahead". I'm glad to be rid of it. With regard to your specific model, I can't be sure. Having said that, I'd really be quite surprised if it didn't work. For me, this has been a great replacement charger at a fraction of the cost of a charger that has the traffic receiver. But if the traffic notifications actually work for you in your area, you might want to buy one from Garmin. It does not give traffic.

I use the charger to connect my Garmin nuvi 255W to download update from Garmin Website. I have not used it to charge the 255W.

Rocky, yes, if your Garmin will not operate while plugged into the cars 12V port, then something is really haywire! No wonder you are frustrated. Hope everything works out well for you.
