The Best of Our Traffic Solutions

HD Digital Traffic has a greater coverage area to include interstates, highways and secondary roads ? in fact, up to 3 times more side road coverage. HD Digital Traffic has the capacity to receive significantly more traffic messages. That valuable information can help you decide whether to stay the course or find another route. HD Digital Traffic is dedicated traffic information and it?s free ? no distracting advertising and no subscription fees, ever.

On the nuvi 3597LMTHD, traffic alerts appear to the side of your map, so your driving map remains onscreen. Traffic messages are spoken, too. Garmin Traffic is voice activated, so it responds to spoken requests. Garmin Traffic can give details about the situation, such as how many minutes of delay to expect and if there are any possible detours. It can even confirm whether or not you are on the fastest route.

Lifetime traffic entitles your nuvi 3597LMTHD to receive free traffic information for its entire useful life.
