FWIW, they claim the new units came with the cable that has a receiver for traffic updates, which is no a necessity with cellphones, but is nice to have anyway if you live near a population center where they have traffic updates.
i found this on the amazon website question section. I tried to find it on Garmin site, but i gave up pretty quick. buf if the quote below i accurate, it seems to do free updates.
