(no traffic receiver, antenna function works only on specific models) To check if your Garmin model has a built-in traffic receiver, navigate to Main Menu / Settings / Device/ About. Look for the line that says "Built-in traffic receiver?" If your model displays "Yes," you can use this TA20 compatible charger to receive over-the-air traffic information. If your model shows "No," you will need to purchase an external add-on receiver power cord like GTM36 or GTM60 from the Garmin Store to enable the HD traffic function.

Review: Worked Great with Garmin DriveSmart 65 - This cord worked just fine with my Garmin DriveSmart 65, including the built in Live Traffic.. After reading the reviews, I almost did not buy it, so for those that are think about purchasing this cord, here is some things you should know. 1. The Live Traffic does work with BUILT IN Live traffic. Older units has this function in the cord. So if you have an older unit, yes it will power your unit, but the Live Traffic will not work. Read the instructions which says... To check if your Garmin model has a built-in traffic receiver, navigate to Main Menu / Settings / Device/ About. Look for the line that says "Built-in traffic receiver?" If your model displays "Yes," you can use this TA20 compatible charger to receive over-the-air traffic information. 2. Cord thinner than original cord. True. But should not be an issue unless you treat it rough. Not a show stopper for me. 3. Cord connection fits loose. On my unit it fits tight enough to not fall out on it's own. That said, I leave mine plugged in all the time, and do not plug/unplug it all the time. I could see if you do that a lot, it may cause issues. (don't really know) This after-market cord meets my needs, thus the four stars. And I really did not see much in way of a choice that had a live traffic option.
Review: A Perfect Replacement for the Original - I ordered a "reconditioned" Garmin Nuvi that came with a car charger. That charger functioned well as a power source, but wasn't charging the battery. I got an on-screen message that told me to use the charger that came with the Garmin. That's what I was doing. I finally ordered this (EDO Tech Replacement Car Charger) and now everything works fine. This EDO replacement charger now charges the interior battery where the charger that came with the unit didn't.
