 Garmin GDB 50 MSN Receiver November 23, 2008
T. Sullivan (Boca Raton, FL)
I've read many reviews on this cable and the TTN cable that came with my Nuvi 755T. I have coverage for both in my area and have had good luck with both. Both are sometimes slow in telling me about traffic problems.
I used this cable in S FL and as soon as I planned my route, it will detected traffic on the route and show me the delay time. What I like best about this cable are all the extra features that it provide, especially the gas prices. TTN has nothing but traffic, is free for life on the 755T (with small ads).
I've used the stock reports, movie times, and the gas price alerts. Each time the gas prices were accurate. It will show me if they are current or 1 or 2 days old, green color for the better price, red for higher ones. This is very helpful everywhere you go. MSN has a lifetime deal for $130 so if you plan on keeping it for more than 3 years then the lifeime is good plan. If Garmin keeps the same connector for future units I expect you could move it to a new unit which would make it an even better investment. Having owned Magellan 760 which didn't have this service I'm very happy with the new Garmin 755T and MSN receiver. FYI - You get 1 year of service when you buy the unit included in the price!

We got MSN Direct with our Garmin 750 and are very glad we did. The weekend we got our Garmin, the area we were in experienced gas shortages due to Hurricane Ike. When we needed gas at a reasonable price, we just used MSN to find a station close to us that could supply. The price wasn't 100% accurate, but when you consider the market was selling out of gas we did all right.
Movie times are accurate. It's great to shop for a movie before you hit the parking lot.
Weather was accurate as well. I think that feature will be very useful in the more volatile spring and winter weather.
Stocks, we don't use as much, but who knows? Again, in a volatile market having timely information is good.
Very much worth the price and one of the best accessories you can get for your Garmin.

Well, I've read many reviews on this cable and the TTN cable that came with my nuvi 760. I have coverage for both in my area and also in the mountainous areas we drive into. I have had good luck with both. Neither did alert me of the pending construction in the mountain town however.
I used this cable in NYC and as soon as I planned my route, it detected traffic on the route and asked if I wanted to avoid it. What I like best about this cable are all the extra features that it provides. Especially the weather. TTN has nothing but traffic.
I've used the stock reports and the gas price alerts. Each time the gas prices were accurate. This is very helpful everywhere you go.

This Garmin product is worth every penny. I use it daily to get traffic updates and avoid slow routes. After a short download, everything you will need on the road is available. I use it to find the local gas stations with the lowest prices. The weather feature is great- both for the current day and the extended forecast. There are too many other additional features to mention. The potential gas price savings alone makes this an invaluable Garmin accessory.

Works great. Easy to use, just plug in and then activate on your pc. A little on the expensive side though.
