Garmin has three different traffic services - Garmin traffic, Garmin HD digital traffic and Garmin live traffic with smartphone link. The info is provided by a subscription service and is transmitted on the sub channel on specific FM radio stations. The power cable used is a Garmin GMT 60. There is always a traffic icon displayed on the right of the GPS screen. The Icon has three colors - green, yellow and red. Touching the display will provide the info. If in voice mode - saying " Garmin traffic information" will have the traffic info displayed and read.
