    The 3BR GPS power cable will power your GPSr but you not have the traffic feature. The traffic antenna is built into the Garmin traffic power cable.

    Do you guys have a PayPal alternative to Google? I already have PayPal and really don't want to go through yet another outfit.

    PayPal if you are patient. Google is going away next month. Not just for us but going away, going away. All Google Wallet merchants have to find another merchant services provider.
    We are in the midst of switching to PayPal. It's going a bit slow due our webmaster just becoming a new dad and family has first priority at 3BR Powersports.
    A short term alternative is a phone order or send an email to one of the emails on the "Contact Us" page. We can issue a PayPal Invoice (PI) which can be paid with any credit card or PayPal.
    Sorry for the convoluted payment methods but we should have the switch-over done soon. Google has left us no choice:rofl
    Cheers,

    BTW - we are headed to the AIM Expo in Orlando, leaving on Monday and not returning until the following week. However, we will still be able to handle phone orders or PIs.

    Okay, I just purchased one of your cables, anything to get my Nuvi 550 to act appropriately again. If it works I will need a second one for the other bike. :evil
