Garmin Zumo XT Traffic Source

[matthew]

I'm enjoying the Garmin Zumo XT but the traffic info leaves much to be desired. Garmin uses their own network, which sometimes works for a 400 series highway and hwy 11, but anything aside from those has no data.

Is there a way to change the source to use Google Maps / Waze? Perhaps someone somewhere has sideloaded something onto the Zumo.

If Garmin would get in bed with Waze we would finally have the perfect offspring.

The Garmin traffic has worked reasonably well for me, it works a lot better in the US than Canada. I have had it give me traffic updates in almost real time when in the US.

It works for me on the 400 series but I want hwy 9 and hwy 10 and all that. I don't think it shows those
