hello.
looking for someone who has this or knows the answers....
1. does this unit get you into the right lane? if one was on an approach with several lanes does it tell you which lane to get into?
2. does it have any kind of traffic alert? i know the 205wt specifically has TA but does the 205w have something?
using my sisters 2 year old (cheap) garmin the other day it displayed a red triangle with a 2 in it which i found related to a 2 min delay 7 miles ahead on my journey. is this the feature that only the 205wt offers? hard to believe my sisters older one would have this but not a newer model.
help appreciated.

1. No. Only "keep right", etc - not specific lane numbers.
2. No - you need the 205WT for any kind of traffic assist. I'm told that traffic assist is a mixed experience - often not updated quickly enough to react well to things like accidents, but probably Ok with longer-term problems like road works.
