Garmin Alerts - Other formats?

Post by Umpalumpa »

I just got a reminder that my subscription to traffic speed trap alerts will expire.
It is for a Nuvi 3597LMT
To renew for a year is something like R380 per year.
Are there any other ways of getting this data?

I got the same unit. cant understand that you get life time free maps but have to pay for traffic alerts. I decided to just drive slower (most of the time in anyway). refusing to pay for traffic alerts. maybe someone else can help us out.

If you use the poi loader software from Garmin it does work.
