I would agree with that. Originally Posted by rtsouza

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.Last edited by LittleCassie; 22nd June 2013 at 06:58 AM.

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. Originally Posted by LittleCassie

That's correct. I was referring to the premium subscription service through SmartPhonelink. Originally Posted by Neil

It's also too bad that you STILL can't force your Nuvi to select which traffic provider through the traffic receiver/antenna. Having said that, it's not really a big deal whether or not you have traffic since most radio stations where they transmit the traffic info normally do not broadcast traffic during weekends or after certain hours.
