It depends on the Garmin Model. If you got a LMT model that has a power cord with a "brick" in it, it receives traffic info over the radio band, just like some in-dash radios do.


If it is a LMT-S model then it can receive "Live Traffic" info from your Smartphone App, but it doesn't have to. The RV 770LMTS uses both the HD radio traffic info as well as the Smartphone trafic info.
