will it reroute you if there is an accident or traffic delay?

No. It will allow you to plan your own detour. You must put the detour in manually. Now, Garmin does offer a traffic app but they charge you for it.

User manual reads (pg7) Traffic on Your Route:When a traffic delay occurs on your route, an alert appears on the map, and the device calculates an alternate route to avoid the delay. You can choose whether to use alternate routes automatically, or upon request.

I think you have to have an antenna for traffic reception. I'm looking for one now. If you can get the traffic report it will then. a Garmin will reroute you if you take a different course. the big ones are actually made for trucks, but to us that means they won't tell you to U turn 486 times because a truck can't. 1 advantage.

I can't imagine why...unless maybe the original one gets broken and you weren't using the traffic monitoring anyhow. Hopefully this won't happen!! :)

Yes it will, just start with your last stop, enter info, then enter next to last stop and add as via next stop and keep doing the same for all stops. You can view total trip or just leg of trip by tapping on time or mileage left to go in top right corner of screen

Yes. It will display the speed limitation and the real time speed, and voice warnings at some points.

Traffic does show up on the Tom Tom. At least it tells me there is a delay...

No, but it gives choices of routes, and you can program it to avoid certain roads and road types (such as no toll roads), fastest route, shortest route. I haven't looked at the route choices yet. I have not had an issue with either of my Garmin GPS units not getting me to my destination; so I usually just let it take me, unless I decide as I'm driving to change roads, then it just re-routes based on the road I am currently on. You could also plot a via point to force it to go a certain way, which I have done with my older unit.

It is a continuously-updated feature, but not 100% accurate. The updates rely on what has been reported by state/county DOT sources, which are not 100% accurate. Therefore, sometimes you will find traffic jams from accidents, which may not be reported, or delay notifications on the Garmin which are not actually there (no construction on Sundays, for example). Needless to say, this is a newer technology that compliments your own common sense about traffic conditions.

I find that it reroutes almost instantly. There's an odd time it may take a few seconds longer but mostly you hardly know you missed a turn!

Yes, but the traffic will not work. (The traffic receiver is in the original car adapter)

The receiver works. It's actually located in the auto charger plug, so you must have that plugged in to receive traffic. Also, the traffic info is supplied by a third-party, and Tom-Tom can't guarantee that it will be provided. I've had mine for over a year and at one point their was no traffic info in my area for about 3 weeks due to a problem from the third problem. When it works, it's great. Will alert you to problems, suggest a faster route, and let's you select the route you want. My local provider (Tampa Bay, FL area gives good info for highways and major roads, but not the smaller ones.

Yes it does. I didn't know it had this feature and was pleasantly surprised to automatically get notices of traffic delays and "faster route" displays on the Garmin. I really like the Garmin, but it doesn't give much audible notice of upcoming left and right turns until it is too late to safely make lane changes.

I've only used mine once and that was going to jax to pick up my wife.i was impressed told me where to turn, even told me when I was going too fast. I knew where I was going and when I didn't follow the route it would reroute. I went the way I was use to going and it rerouted . So I can't wait using it when I pull the camper.the voice was clear , hope that helps.

Yes,you would have to reroute your lines to it. But I would putIt where there were no traffic or activity going on.

Plug it in and find out. The worse that can happen is it chargers the battery! ! Drive around see if shows you traffic updates. Check and. See if is offered as an accessory. Bob

Hello Daina,I don't know if there is an option in the setting that would permit this...It only loads the best rout that it calculates to be the best option. If you connect it with the traffic sensor, and depending on the traffic in your planed rout, it may give a new option (route), and let you know how much time you could save... You will however, have to accept the suggestion before your GPS could implement it (the new route )...Have a great day,Kevin

It will reconnect automatically. This model will also start playing your music when you get back in the car without you having to start it again.

I can only say that you'll only get traffic in a few metro locations, and even then, it's pretty unreliable. For example, we were stuck on I-95 this summer in NYC for two hours at 12 in the morning. Traffic said the delay was 2 minutes. I do not trust traffic!
