“Do you need a separate cable for traffic alerts? Thanks”

• No. The USB cable that comes with the device and powers it in the car includes the necessary hardware to receive traffic. The traffic feature that comes on this GPS with the included cable updates every 5 minutes or so. There is an upgraded cable you can buy to provide real-time traffic.

  Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.

• No, the cable included with the nüvi 2589LMT powers the device and is also the antenna for the traffic service. Thanks, James
