why would Garmin ruin such a great product with ad ?! when you use the traffic feature , pop-up ad continually appear on the screen . if they be give you something for free , maybe a few ad would be a reasonable compromise . but you pay more for the model with the `` lifetime traffic '' feature . subject you to ad when you have already pay for this feature be pretty annoying . and intrusive . not to mention the fact that the ad seem to relate to place you have visit , so it make you wonder what information be be share , and with whom . I would opt for a tomtom or other brand that do not play this game .
