Product Description:
With the Garmin GTM 12 Portable Traffic Receiver, steering clear of traffic tie-ups just got easier! This small FM-band traffic receiver connects between your car stereo and antenna to provide real-time Traffic Message Channel (TMC) data to compatible Garmin GPS navigation products. TMC is a fast-growing subscription service for people who live their lives on the road; already available in much of North America & Europe, TMC data gives prompt, accurate notification of accidents, road construction, police, or emergency action. Drivers can use this information to visually monitor traffic flow and, if necessary, select an alternate route. Depict and identify problem areas on your Garmin moving-map display, to avoid traffic jams and bottlenecks. A good driving experience starts with good driving decisions -- and for that you need good information. The Garmin GTM 12 traffic receiver can make a quantum difference in any driver's quality of life.

Amazon.com Product Description:
With the Garmin GTM-12 FM Traffic Receiver for Traffic-Enabled GPS Navigators, you save drive time, gas, and your sanity by adding traffic services to your compatible Garmin. The GTM 12 is an FM TMC (Traffic Message Channel) traffic receiver and antenna. It receives digital information (where available) on traffic and road construction tie-ups that your compatible Garmin unit uses to offer an alternate route. The GTM 12 features a new compact design and includes an antenna suction cup mount, making it easy to install.

The Garmin GTM-12 help you avoid traffic tie-ups. TMC data is available in a fast-growing number of cities throughout North America and Europe, and gives prompt, accurate notification of accidents, road construction, police, or emergency action, etc. In most areas, depending on the service provider, TMC traffic broadcasts are continuous. There's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. With the GTM 12, you see traffic developments in real-time, as they happen, so you can make the right decision sooner. The system also alerts you when a traffic problem is on your route and proposes an alternate route to avoid the incident. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions. The GTM 12 is a plug-and-play FM RDS-TMC receiver that does not require professional installation.

Note: Traffic services are available only in select cities where coverage exists. A subscription may be required to enable traffic capability. The purchase the GTM 12 includes a 15-month subscription to Clear Channel TMC in the Americas.

- GTM-12 for my Kenwood 5120, not perfect, but works.
I purchased this traffic reciever for my Kenwood 5120. It works, sometimes a little late, but it works. If I get into my truck and head out it takes a few minutes for traffic to catch up. Occaisonally, it will tell you as you are already in the backup. On other occaisons, it will warn you of the traffic that is 24991 miles ahead. I am assuming the planet is 25000 miles around. I am disappointd by the fact that this is a subscription service here in the states, it makes sense to have people aware ... Read More

- Nice Addition
Nice addition to my Nuvi 350! I was already mostly dependent on my Nuvi - it gets me anywhere! Now, I've got traffic updates... I especially like that I can see all traffic tieups (either text or graphics) - even those not along my route.

The reroute feature is not the best - but that's the Nuvi... the traffic receiver is small, easy to mount, and worked out of the box!

- Highway Hazard Receiver for Garmin GPS
Works fine in areas covered by the system but a large portion of the U.S. is not covered. Great in L.A.. Useless around Yuma, AZ.

- Useful for Trucking
I have the GTM-12 connected to a Garmin C340 in my semi. As a driver I've seen the unit provide information in numerous large cities. The real-time traffic information can sometimes be outdated (a problem with both FM and XM traffic radio broadcasts, incidently) but where I find the unit most informative is CONSTRUCTION ZONES. For instance, I64 in St. Louis is completely shut down between I270 and I170, and this unit display this and knows to route me away from the area. The C330 I have does ... Read More

- Would be nice if it wasn't another separate piece
I hate that this piece adds yet another cable/piece to my windshield. Who wants that? It works fine as a traffic receiver, but I don't like having all the extra stuff on the windshield.

Other GPS systems have the traffic receiver built in, or the traffice receiver serves as the power supply and the receiver so only one cable is hanging from the device/cradle.
