I am wondering if the traffic control on the Garmin works outside of the US if you have local maps installed on it.

Does traffic control work in Israel if you have the Israel maps?

I see the review and it says it is bad with the ads, but doesn't answer the question about whether it works for traffic control overseas.

The ads have never bothered me on the Garmin united with traffic.

I doubt traffic will work outside NA.

Yes.

I'm not a huge fan of the traffic always on anyhow... I think google maps is better for traffic. I like to have it available JIC. Besides, I've seen this unit before, the ads are not bad at all. It's a bit like gmail, you don't even notice the ads after a bit.

ads are unobtrusive and only appear while stopped.  i don't even notice them anymore...

the traffic is done by an FM receiver built into the power cable.  i think the the spec it uses is in the owner's manual.

Right, only annoying thing with this GPS is that the charger has a cord that looks like it can be used to rappel out of a helicopter.

Lol...traffic can be hit or miss depending on where you live, but free updated maps is a nice feature.
Do you really expect your GPS to get stolen yearly?
