GTM 60 with Drive 51?

Yes, I know. But Garmin support told me that the GTM 60 would work before they told me it wouldn't work.
I have fooled around with the GPS plugged in via the GTM 60. When I turn it on, a message pops up that this GPS is not compatible with digital traffic, and the traffic information may not be as good. Then the traffic box pops up, says "downloading traffic data. This may take a few minutes." And then the traffic data pops up.
I then turned on my cell phone to use the Garmin app. The information seemed the same as what the GPS had downloaded via the GTM 60.

So I believe the GTM 60 is providing traffic information.

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 Rating: 5
