I want to buy this item, but it is unclear from the description if the vehicle power cable is included. Amazon shows that customers who bought this item also bought the vehicle power cable. So, perhaps it is not included. If the power cable is bought separately, then the question is whether it would include the FM Traffic antenna and service. Also, do I need an external antenna (the manual shows that there is a connector for the external antenna).
Is this one of those situations where you discover later on about the difficulties?
Two stars are for the lacking information, not the product itself.

I went through a couple of iterations of this unit until I got one that was utterly disappointing. The first unit didn’t work having a blank screen. I returned it for a new unit and began testing it. Forget about listening to the radio if you want to hear any alerts. The speaker is cheap and it makes the voice difficult-to-understand, rendering the speaker useless. The bluetooth was not worth it since the callers could not understand what I was saying. The traffic monitor did not work either. I specifically drove towards a traffic tie-up to see what options it would suggest. NOTHING…. And, yes, you must have it plugged in since the traffic receiver is located in the cord.
I would not recommend this at all. I do believe it’s a mass-produced, expensive piece of junk.
Rutilia.

I travel to Europe once a year and this unit looked like great and not so expensive option. Well …
1. The ‘integrated’ traffic is in car charger and you have to use additional cable which plugs into car charger – it’s so messy.
2. What is worse, the unit does not work anymore. I plugged it to my PC and followed the installation upgrade – after it was done the screen went blank and flickrs like bad frequency TV monitor and my PC does not recognize the GPS anymore.
thank you Garmin for great useless tool I have to return back to Amazon, I’m leaving for a week vacation in couple days, I guess I will have to stick with old printed map again.
little update few hours later… Amazon shipped another unit overnight for free !! This is the best customer service I’ve ever seen. I hope I will have more luck with the second unit.

This was suppose to be a great product, however after I bought it discovered I couldn’t trust this GPS to go to any store/business or restaurant; at least three times took me to places didn’t exist, even after updating it online didn’t work properly. Very disappointing!

I received my Garmin Nuvi 275 T really quickly, However the screen does not appear to be a wide screen 3.5. I am puzzled as to how you get this measurment as the internal screen width measures under 3 inches.????
So I do not know how this is measured to be classed as a wide screen.
I seems to work great. I did not receive the full instructions with it on how to add the blue tooth and may have to get these online and print them which will cost a lot of ink to do that. It is easy to use and so far has taken me to my destinations perfectly.
