Garmin GTM 10 FM Traffic Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item is a lifesaver! Well, at least a timesaver.
When connected to a compatible Garmin GPS (like the 2720), it will graphically alert you to traffic issues on your route and in your area.
No more waiting to hear the traffic on the radio, it is realtime.
If an accident is located on the road you are currently travelling, it will alert you with an icon that allows you to choose to remain on your current path, or detour.
If the accident is located further ahead on your route, but not on the same road you are currently on, it will automatically change your route without any intervention from you.
The only downside is the small number of cities that currently utilize the traffic info, and some of the smaller roads in those cities don't have coverage. But the ones that do make up for it.
If you are in a city that is covered, this is a must-have item.
