Garmin GTM 21 Traffic Receiver Questions and Answers

Answer: The GTM 21 was discontinued by Garmin around 10 years ago. Garmin have never issued a replacement.

An eBay search might yield some for sale. Please note: a number of the Garmin traffic receivers for sale on eBay do not have the UK/European traffic subscription included, including instead a different region e.g. North America. Garmin charge a one off fee to activate the UK/European traffic data services.
