  That is not what he listed, dumbfucktard.

  His list was supposedly those I used last month.

  The problem is that he is almost as full of shit as you are, if that is
even possible.

 The numeric would be at the front of the list, idiot.

  You cannot even get something so simple as alphabetization right!

  Bwuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha!

In the USA there are 2 versions of the GTM20. One has a continuous cable 
between the traffic receiver / power plug, and the GPS connector. The latest 
version of the GTM20 has a bulge in the cable near the GPS connector which 
also includes a small hole that accepts an external antenna (FM I presume, 
not GPS, although the instructions don't say explicitly). It's a 3.5 mm jack 
I think.
