Hidden cost of lifetime traffic
I've had my 2360LMT for a few weeks now and am generally happy with the directions it provides and most of the features. What I am not happy with is that there is no way to turn off the advertising "offers" that clutter the screen without turning off the traffic information completely. I see another reviewer has pointed out that the traffic information is apparantly paid for by these ads but I wish that had been stated somewhere in all the product information both here and on the Garmin website. I might have still ordered this model but I might also have opted for one where I purchased a traffic subscription as I did with my old Garmin 760. When they told me this model came with lifetime maps and traffic I assumed it was like what I was familiar with on my 760. Right now I feel like I've paid Garmin a lot of money to have someone peddle their wares to me. It's as annoying as purchasing a movie on DVD and then having to sit through ads before being allowed to watch the movie. I've turned off the traffic to kill the ads so I've ended up paying for something I am now not going to use. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
