Giomen,
In the versions that I could test the GTM 26 and 36 with signature Jetmouse work seamlessly with nuvis 1xxx and 37xx series. Not work in nuvis with firmware 2012 as the 34xx, 35xx, 2xx5. For any doubt please see attached screens. The white screens are of GTM 26 and the black of GTM GTM 36, encompassing the firmware 2.00, 2.10 and 2.20. Note that both have the same HWID. Already opened the box and checked the receiver: gtm26 and 36 are apparently identical.
In relation to my previous post about locking of the firmware 2.10 in GTM 60 working with 3590, I still have not found solution. I modified the version 2.00 that was installed correctly in GTM60 but continues with the error 12 with blocking of traffic, by the way, exactly the same screen that appears in locked GTM 36 of this post. Very curious is that the GTM 60 with firmware 2.10 works perfectly with nuvis of firmware 2013 as in 3597. Very probably the Garmin recorded the blockage somewhere in the non-volatile memory of the 3590 or cable, that the firmware can not access. Still need to test the GTM 60 with another gps (3590 or 34xx) in order to better analyze..

I would agree with that.

I have bought the very high priced 3597 with HD traffic thinking the traffic info would be better than the standard traffic in the analogue models. Sadly, that's not the case. The Garmin subscription service as already mentioned is based on your cellphone's internet/data connection. When travelling outside your own country roaming data plans are very expensive so that is not a viable option for many. For within your country, I think you're much better served by subscribing to free twitter traffic feeds and free web based traffic cams then paying for a subscription or traffic service from Garmin. I now won't be bothered trying to get TTN on my 3597.

That's not actually how the HD traffic info is delivered via the GTM60 HD Digital Traffic Receiver. I think that possibly you are confusing the GSM 'Live Traffic' service via the SmartPhoneLink in Apps on your 3597, with the HD Digital traffic via the HD radio (DAB+) receiver in the GTM60 for which there is no charge. The NA GTM60 also has an OEM Navteq FM TMC subscription on board as well. I've also added a TTN FM sub to my NA GTM60 but i haven't been back to the States to test it but i don't think it will as 1 error is now showing. The Suna FM sub added works in AU though as it also does with GTM26/36.

Change History
Changes made from version 3.10 to 3.70:
Add support for Digital Traffic in Belgium, when the unit has compatible software and the traffic receiver has a subscription for the service.
Add support for Navteq (Saudi Arabia), when the unit has compatible maps and the traffic receiver has a subscription for the service.
Add support for Navteq (Turkey), when the unit has compatible maps and the traffic receiver has a subscription for the service.
Add support for Decell (Slovakia), when the traffic receiver has a subscription for the service.
Add support for Navicom in the Kaliningrad Oblast region of Russia, when the traffic receiver has a subscription for the service.
Add support for Digital Traffic in UK, when the unit has compatible software and the traffic receiver has a subscription for the service.
ITIS (UK) is now INRIX (UK).

I think that traffic is free in Singapore, but maybe that is only for SG/MY units. You could check with Garmin SG to see if you can get it on your US unit. You traffic receiver would have only lifetime NA traffic on board being as it was bundled with a US unit.
