MSN Direct GDB 50
Received the chord a couple days ago and I like it a lot. It takes a half hour or so to register the services online. So if you want to pick one up and hop on the road you may have to wait a little while.(On a nuvi 750)
Pros:
-Weather is Accurate
-Movies times and places are accurate
-Very accurate traffic
-Very good signal strength (Suburbs of Cincinnati)
-News is updated often and there is a lot of it (I believe from MSN's homepage)
-From my understanding, it will work without power for a day or two as long as it has been charged
-about 95% of gas prices were updated the day of by about 1pm. At 8AM about 1/4 of them were updated. Very accurate tool
Cons:
-Sometimes takes a little time loading things like events and movies
-Somewhat expensive for 8 features
-Chord is a little bulkier than regular power chord
-Traffic only for Highways and not regular roads
If you travel a fair amount especially on the highway this is a great thing to have. Traffic, Stocks, Weather, and Gas prices are worth it, however the events and movies aren't developed enough. If you are using it for solely those two, I would not suggest it. Great product, I would recommend it to a friend.

Garmin GDB 50 MSN Receiver
I've read many reviews on this cable and the TTN cable that came with my Nuvi 755T. I have coverage for both in my area and have had good luck with both. Both are sometimes slow in telling me about traffic problems.
I used this cable in S FL and as soon as I planned my route, it will detected traffic on the route and show me the delay time. What I like best about this cable are all the extra features that it provide, especially the gas prices. TTN has nothing but traffic, is free for life on the 755T (with small ads).
I've used the stock reports, movie times, and the gas price alerts. Each time the gas prices were accurate. It will show me if they are current or 1 or 2 days old, green color for the better price, red for higher ones. This is very helpful everywhere you go. MSN has a lifetime deal for $130 so if you plan on keeping it for more than 3 years then the lifeime is good plan. If Garmin keeps the same connector for future units I expect you could move it to a new unit which would make it an even better investment. Having owned Magellan 760 which didn't have this service I'm very happy with the new Garmin 755T and MSN receiver. FYI - You get 1 year of service when you buy the unit included in the price!
