If your business takes you on the road, you know how much of an impact traffic congestion can have on your schedule. The Garmin GTM-10 traffic receiver alleviates these concerns by helping you avoid traffic jams before they start. Compatible with the Garmin StreetPilot 2720, StreetPilot c340, StreetPilot 7200, StreetPilot 7500, and Nuvi GPS navigators (sold separately), the GTM-10 receives data from selected FM broadcast stations in select cities throughout the U.S. and Europe. Your Garmin navigator then converts the data into a color-coded map that shows you where the hot spots of traffic congestion are starting to form. Once the GPS analyzes this data, it automatically calculates and suggests alternative routes based on the traffic information.

Because the traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, drivers can still listen to music or news programming on their car radios without interference. The traffic broadcasts are usually continuous, depending on the service provider, so there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. With the GTM-10, you see traffic developments in real time as they happen, helping you make the right decision as soon as possible.

About the size of a matchbox, the GTM-10 attaches to the Garmin GPS navigator's mini USB port. Drivers also must connect the other end to the vehicle's FM radio and antenna. Garmin recommends professional installation of the devicefor best results.

Note:A nominal activation and subscription fee is required with this product. See the technical specifications for a list of cities where the GTM-10 service is available. Garmin includes a free 15-month trial subscription to the GTM-10 service with the purchase of this receiver. Traffic services are available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists.
