HOW TO USE FREE LIFETIME GARMIN TRAFFIC REPORTING ON NUVI 265WT GPS BASIC TUTORIAL, PART I

Garmin unit must be connected to its car charging cord in order for Traffic Reporting to operate as FM receiver is contained within the cord.

Once traffic is on your route, unit will warn you of it and redirect you around the traffic situation, if you desire.

I neglected to point out on the zoomed-out TRAFFIC MAP (at 3:22 onward) the RED AREA southeast of the car icon (the area is about 10 o'clock in relation to the car icon- car is actually pointing southbound). This is the area on CA-78 that had the red 'bar' earlier depicted in the videos' Traffic Search function. This illustrates the map is consistent with the Traffic Search depiction.

And you can select an individual reference and get more detail for the delay-such as an accident, traffic stoppages, etc.

Please rate. Additionally-comments, questions or suggestions are welcome.

Informative, thanks. But painfully slow explanations.

@Pioneerspirit111 Yes, slightly slow but detailed. Also, at the time I made the video I was new to the unit. BTW, I still own and use it and it works fine. I've had the unit about 2,.5 years now and it still runs on battery alone, which surprised me. Of course, you will not get the traffic function unless unit is connected to the charging cord. Also, since I made the video I've learned a lot and if I did another video with my newer Garmin (1350LMT) it would be quicker study.

How obtrusiveare t he ads services with the traffic function? Are they enough to be annoying or distraction?

@6ft7inHIBread I don't find them to be at all obtrusive or bothersome. Most of the time I'm not even aware of them as they are posted in very small fonts.

on my garmin 265wt the traffic symbol isnt on the map when ever i use it. i have the receiver plugged in but still doesnt work. also the subscription is not disabled. i live in abbotsford, b.c., canada and the subscription is in the description.

@Sahota018 I'd first verify if traffic services are offered in your area by searching the Garmin website or by contacting them and making inquiry. If services are offered, then that is another issue, and you should contact them about it. Best wishes.

@bamboo510 my problem was i was using the existing cord from another garmin. i didn't use the traffic-specific cord but it worked as soon as i switched to the proper cord. the feature is nice but unreliable in the east bay.

@daveheel i live in the eastbay and i remember when i first got the 265wt earlier this year, traffic did work. I think after updating the firmware it stopped working.
