I have a Nuvi 205w that I got for a gift. I'm wondering about the traffic
data cable offerings and what the difference is. I'm in Colorado - Denver
specifically - and see that I have choices. Are there any differences in
them? The descriptions aren't very helpful. If there are differences, what
are they and which would you choose? Then there are the other 'traffic'
options such as Navtec and ClearChannel. I assume that they are not needed
with the cables that include lifetime traffic. I can get one of the
following:

GTM 25 with lifetime traffic
FMI40 data and traffic
MSN Direct Receiver / GDB55

As far as I know, you get traffic ONLY (with ClearChannel)...

Not familiar with this...???

You get nine features, Traffic, Weather Radar, Gas Prices, Movie Times, Local
Events, Send to GPS(??), Flight Status, Stocks, and News...

Denver is definitely covered; I've been there...
