| *custom name* | Re: i want a garmin with traffic to be honest dave i would go look at the older models, near all of these came with traffic compatibility and if you look hard enough people are selling them really cheap, im talking about the nuvi 300 310 or 350 or something like that. they are 2 generations ago but if you buy it new you will have latest software and maps for free with minimal effort. you can buy the traffic reciever cable from any garmin retailer usually, from their website or ebay lol. some models came with it! ive the 310D myself with the traffic cable, patience paid off and i got it for 30 quid, gona try my luck and see if i can get the display one for the same price and the model is now suspended ![]()

| *custom name* | Re: i want a garmin with traffic sorry i forgot to click the link there, the streetpilots would be one of my least favourite models, too bulky, but in saying this there arent that many sales so stores have excess stock and put a massive discount on them, halfords reduced one of the newish streetpilots from 250 to 125 and they all sold out within days, im sure other people are doing the same. one other thing i found is the menus are a wee bit more different not letting you do as much as you could in the nuvi range which i found frustrating. these were designed for permanent fixture to hgv's and lorries. hence size for 2 speakers to overcome engine noise and inability to easily remove it

| *custom name* | Re: i want a garmin with traffic in one word no lol the streetpilot is about 3 or 4 times thickers than the nuvi range, so while the nuvi range has one speaker directing backwards the streetpilot has two speakers, one at each side so lorry drivers can hear it better, theres just some differences in the abilities of the menu, one that really got to me was inability to drag map in streetpilot tho all nuvis can do it, dont know if theyve fixed that yet

| Re: i want a garmin with traffic Love my streetpilot 510. It may be a bit bulky and I can't get it to do the yoda voice but it does everything I want a sat nav to do. I've noticed one or two on ebay listed as faulty and going very cheap. If the fault is that it fails to power up, it's definatly worth a punt as the fix, from personal expirence, is an easy one. Remove the front cover and then undo the four screws holding it together. Inside you'll find a battery and a connector block. Disconnect it for about 30 seconds then reconnect. Put it all back together and it should power up as normal. Like I say, this is from personal experence. Mine went down, but after trawling the web I came across a fix-it site. It seems to be becoming a common fault on the 510's judging by the amount of thanks this bloke was getting from 510 users.

![]() For the traffic support, Garmin is hitting the market with the 2x5 series, a 2x0 on steroids, and you can get the 2x5T version with the new GTM-25 traffic receiver.
