I purchased a Drive 51, and called Garmin to ask the difference between the GTM 60 and GTM 36 traffic receivers, needed to get traffic without a cellphone (my cellphone doesn't have data). I was told the GTM 60 would be better. So I ordered one on ebay.
But when I plugged it into my Drive 51, a message popped up that the GPS can't receive digital traffic information. I called Garmin again, and was told I need the GTM 36, as the GTM 60 won't work with my GPS.
Now, that being said, I did receive a notice of a lane closed on my route.
Will the GTM 60 actually give me traffic information, even though it won't be using the HD signal? I don't know why it would, but, hey, I'm no expert.
