About the Garmin GTM 60 with Lifetime Traffic

Dominic DeVito

Expansive, extensive traffic coverage when you need it most

The GTM 60 HD Digital traffic-information receiver from Garmin takes the guesswork out of where and when delays might develop along your route. With one simple cord that plugs into your vehicle's 12-volt port, you can turn your Garmin navigator into a powerful ally against lost time, wasted fuel, and frustration.

Expansive, extensive traffic coverage when you need it most

The GTM 60 HD Digital traffic-information receiver from Garmin takes the guesswork out of where and when delays might develop along your route. With one simple cord that plugs into your vehicle's 12-volt port, you can turn your Garmin navigator into a powerful ally against lost time, wasted fuel, and frustration.

How it works

The GTM 60 feeds Garmin Digital 3D Traffic updates to your navigator at a rate that's up to 4 to 10 times faster than traditional traffic services. It can provide details every 30 seconds in some areas, using the HD Radio™ broadcasting system in addition to all the other sources Garmin traditionally uses. You'll see congestion as it develops and be able to route around it, rather than getting stuck at inopportune times.

Free lifetime subscription — no hidden fees

Your free lifetime subscription to Garmin's traffic-information service activates automatically when you first use the GTM 60, without any additional hidden costs. And the HD Digital service broadcasts traffic information on a separate band so you can still listen to your favorite radio stations, including HD Radio broadcasts. If there are no HD Digital traffic broadcasts nearby, the GTM 60 can still receive updates using the FM-TMC signals found in most metropolitan areas.

Get Garmin 3D Digital Traffic and say goodbye to congestion

If you've used a Garmin portable navigator with a traffic-information receiver, you already know what a lifesaver it can be in metropolitan areas when there's congestion. Now just imagine how much better it'll be with updates every 30 seconds that won't leave you in a jam. The GTM 60 works with most recent Garmin navigators. Warranty: 1 year.

Product Research

Features

Overview: The Garmin GTM 60 is an add-on traffic receiver and 12-volt power adapter for your compatible Garmin nüvi GPS portable navigator. The GTM 60 delivers Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information, including road conditions and traffic delays, to your compatible Garmin GPS device. When traffic information is received, your Garmin GPS portable navigator displays traffic delays on the map and uses the information to avoid traffic delays and find the fastest routes. The Garmin GTM 60 traffic receiver provides subscription-free, advertising-free traffic alerts with Digital 3D Traffic, the world's most extensive traffic avoidance system. It offers more coverage in more areas with more timely and accurate traffic condition updates. The GTM 60 uses Garmin's 3D Traffic and Digital Traffic from the HD radio Broadcasting system to provide traffic alerts up to 10x faster than traditional traffic receivers.

Note: The Garmin GTM 60 is an add-on device and requires the connection of a compatible Garmin nüvi GPS portable navigator. The GTM 60 receives signals from the traffic service provider and displays that information on your compatible GPS device.

Compatibility: The Garmin GTM 60 is compatible with the following Garmin nüvi GPS portable navigators (as of 10/8/2014).

  • nüvi 2455LM/LMT/LT, nüvi 2457LMT, nüvi 2475LT, nüvi 2495LMT, nüvi 2497LMT
  • nüvi 2539LMT, nüvi 2555LM/LMT/LT, nüvi 2557LMT, nüvi 2558LMTHD, nüvi 2559LMT, nüvi 2577LT, nüvi 2589LMT, nüvi 2595LMT, nüvi 2597nüvi, nüvi 2598LMTHD, nüvi 2599LMTHD
  • nüvi 2639LMT, nüvi 2689LMT
  • nüvi 2757LM, nüvi 2789LMT, nüvi 2798LMT with Backup Camera
  • nüvi 3450/LM, nüvi 3490 for Volvo Cars, nüvi 3490LMT

  • RV 760LMT, RV 760LMT with Wireless Backup Camera
  • Garmin fleet 660/670
  • dēzl 760LMT
Note: The GTM 60 is fitted with a right-angle mini-USB (type-B) connector which plugs into your compatible Garmin GPS portable navigator.

100% Subscription Free Traffic: The Garmin GTM 60 with 3D Traffic gives you 100% subscription-free lifetime traffic updates. Unlike other traffic system that may offer a "free trial", after which you are charged a monthly or annual subscription fee. The subscription activates automatically after your connected Garmin GPS device acquires satellite signals while receiving traffic signal from the service provider.

Note: Lifetime traffic extends for the useful life of the Garmin traffic receiver (as long as you own the compatible Garmin GPS device) or as long as Garmin receives traffic data from its traffic supplier, whichever is shorter.

Garmin 3D Traffic: Garmin 3D Traffic is broadcast over HD Radio and is the worlds most extensive traffic service. It combines historical traffic data & current traffic data from active devices in transit, and predictive traffic to indentify impeding traffic backups as well as current non-trend traffic incidents. Digital 3D Traffic, when delivered over the rapid HD Radio Broadcasting System, updates traffic every 30 seconds (that's 4 to 10x faster than competitive services) allowing you to react more quickly to changing traffic conditions and keep you moving.

Note: When HD service is not available in your area, the GTM 60 will provide data through an RDS-TMC channel. In that event, the GTM 60 and GPS device must be in in data range of an FM station transmitting TMC data to receive traffic information.

Traffic Coverage: Garmin 3D Traffic includes premium traffic content for the United States for the lifetime of the product. View Digital 3D Traffic coverage.

Note: Traffic content not available for all areas.

Traffic Data: Garmin 3D Traffic analyzes traffic flow data that has been collected from more than 2 billion probe points every month. These 2 billion probe points included -

  • data from millions of Garmin device owners
  • data from millions of cellular phone owners
  • incident reports
  • radio feeds of live information
  • news stations
  • historic traffic data from NAVTEQ Traffic Supply
  • historic traffic data from Garmin device owners
  • fixed traffic sensors on major roads giving 99.9% accuracy of traffic reports
Note: The GTM 60 may take up to 5 minutes to acquire data.

Traffic Avoidance: When connected to the GTM 60, your Garmin nüvi portable navigator not only informs you about delays on your route, it will also suggest alternate routes and guide you around the trouble spots. It can even automatically route you around trouble spots without you having to do anything, but drive.

12-Volt Power Adapter: In addition to free lifetime traffic alerts, the GTM 60 features a 12-volt power adapter to connect to your vehicle's 12-volt power/cigarette lighter port which will power and charge your compatible Garmin nüvi GPS portable navigator.

Q
Will this cord work on a Garmin dezl Otr 1000?

This Garmin GTM 60 is not compatible with the dezl OTR1000 sadly, Louis. The GTM also has the add-on traffic receiver and is only compatible with select nuvi series navigators. If you have lost your power cable and simply need a replacement for your OTR 1000 the Garmin power adapter in the link below is the one you need! It works for most newer Garmin navigators that use a mini-usb (type-B) connector. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_15012VUNIV/Garmin-Vehicle-Power-Cable.html
