Do you have to pay for FM traffic receiver on gps systems?
I was told that certain features (such as the FM traffic receiver to avoid traffic) costs a monthly service fee like a cell phone. Is that true? I want a good gps but I don’t want to have to have a service for it.
Usually, yes – traffic services costs extra, it’s monthly but it’s not much
The Nuvi 265WT does include free lifetime traffic service from Navteq and that device retails at $350, but can be found for just over $200 if you hunt down a good deal.
Overall, that may be your best value if you want the traffic service but not the monthly bill.
This is an optional service although the garmin nuvi 265T comes with the traffic service for free with purchase of the device
