“What does lifetime traffic update mean? Does it require a cell phone associated with it to feed traffic data? How does it work?”

• all you do is plug the GPS provided cord into your unit and then into a computer, then use the software to download updated maps from the internet. it has nothing to do with your cell phone, nor does this unit have any live traffic updates

• Out of the box, the Garmin Smartphone link using your smartphone’s data connection is required to receive traffic. If you don’t have a smartphone, a Garmin GTM 36™ or GTM 60™ can be purchased to access the traffic feature.
