Question 1

For the DriveSmart 55 and 65 models, do they come with free Lifetime map updates?

Accepted Answer

This is a paste from Garmin's website: Garmin has removed "Lifetime, Free, and Unlimited" from the description of our map and traffic updates and other services.  This has been done to streamline the naming of our products and services. 
If your device includes  "M", "MT", "LM", or "LMT" it will continue to receive map updates without being charged.
If your device includes "Traffic", "LT", or "LMT"  it will continue to receive traffic content without being charged.

Question 3

I just purchased a smartdrive 65.  i already have a gtm 60 hd digital traffic receiver.  is there an advantage to use it with my new 65?

Accepted Answer

I use the GTM 60 with my DriveSmart 55 and it works wonders. nearly as good (and in some regards better...) than WAZE. Now, even though the DS 55/65 comes with built in traffic, thats only the standard traffic, for the HD traffic you need the GTM 60. And yes, the HD is much much more up to date and detailed. Safe Travel everyone!

Question 4

Does this come with the Traffic Cable?

Accepted Answer

The cable that comes in the box with the GPS should give you traffic.  Mine does.  We live in the sticks so we only see that when we head to more urban areas, which is very rare.  Cattle crossings don't show up!
