QuestionWhat features WILL NOT be available if I do not hook up my cell phone to the GPS? What is the benefit of using a cord from a different or older Garmin GPS, does that bypass something?
Asked 7 years ago by Jensen.
- Answer You will not have access to free Garmin Live Services such as live traffic, live parking and basic weather information. Yes, the GTM 36™ and GTM 60™ traffic receiver power cables are compatible with this model, if your previous Garmin GPS came bundled with either of these cables, they will also work to provide traffic alerts.

QuestionDoes this unit provide accurate truck route directions for semi’s/tractor-trailers?
Asked 7 years ago by TruckerWife.
- Answer No, this model doesn’t include any truck specific routing. The Garmin dēzl™ series includes detailed maps for North America that also include truck-related restrictions – like bridge heights, sharp curves, weight limits and more – and related information for most major roads and highways.
