    • As it turns out, you have to link it to your smart phone to get the live traffic updates...using up data
    • I might as well use Google maps if I have to use my smart phone!
    • Why did Garmin think it was a good idea to require a smart phone to get traffic updates?
    • When my old Garmins no longer work, I'll be using my phone, and never again a Garmin.
    • Love the smart phone interation...find place on phone and easily sends data to garmin, accept data and you are on your way!
    • It is far easier to use and more reliably than smart phone apps
    • However, I do still find myself asking "why don't I just use my smart phone?".
