Thread: Using TMC in Garmin nuvi for free

For Europe these are the premium subscriptions. I assumed the US too.

i can't find my TMC ID. all i can find is my subscription id...
i have a nuvi 680.
any help would be appreciated.

With your GTM plugged in go to traffic, subscriptions, add subscription. It gives you your ID to use on the garmin website to purchase additional traffic services.

With my nuvi 680 plugged into the traffic receiver I go into the MSN direct icon on the lower right corner and what appears is a 20 character product key for my expired subscription.

I've looked under the all other menus and can't find "add subscription".
Has anyone made this work for a nuvi 600 series?
Is there any other way to get the 10 digit TMC ID?
The only ten digit ID I've been able to find is my unit ID.

A MSN receiver is different from an ordinary TMC receiver. You will need to buy an alternate to use the codes in this thread.
When you have one
Going to menu Tools, Settings, Traffic, Subscriptions should give you the ID.

well that explains it all. thanks alot!
hopefully this will be of some help to other noobs such as myself.

Works fine on a Nuvi 255T with GTM25. With your explanations I am able to have both Via Michelin and Vtrafic providers of TMC in France.

Thanks again !!!
