Just to understand. How does the traffic services work. Is the information provided real time or it is based on statistics?
Do you need other equipment to get real time traffic information?
Does the 2555LMT provide real time traffic information? If not which units do?

The nuvi 2555LMT comes with a radio receiver that will receive real time traffic info via FM signals. Models that have LT or LMT in the name have traffic included.

Regarding Traffic: My old Nuvi 265WT would list the traffic as far as 60 miles away. My Nuvi 2555LMT only shows local traffic. How can I enlarge the traffic range? For example: if I am in the Hamilton, Ontario Area I may want to know the traffic conditions in Toronto. Thanks.

I have another question: On my 265WT when I passed by a favorite location, it would name the location. On the Nuvi 2555 it just shows a heart ( for favorite ). Is there a setting to show the name? Again, thanks...

The traffic will only show for your area. I don't recall seeing that the nuvi 265WT would show a larger area.

I have not seen a specific option to show the Favorite name on the map screen. I suggest setting the map detail to most and try zooming in and out to see if the name comes up. I could not get the names to come up on my unit unless I touched the favorite icon. then the name would come up on the bottom of the screen in a grey bar.
