What is the difference to the Garmin DriveSmart 65 Full EU MT-D. And can the navigation systems be used without a smartphone? Last question: the Live Time Traffic cable has the same function as the Garmin APP for traffic information, or am I misunderstanding this, so you don't need the Garmin APP at all?

The DriveSmart 76 is the successor model of the DriveSmart 65, so that newer components have been installed in it, e.g. USB-C connection compared to mini-USB, larger storage space, and general further developments have taken place, which is also evident in the revised menu display.

The devices you mentioned both have the designation MT-"D" (Digital Traffic), which shows that the traffic radio receiver is built in. This means that a connection to the smartphone is not necessary. However, coupling to the smartphone is available as an option. The "GTM 70" cable is obsolete because the receiver is now built into the housing of the units. This cable is available for older devices for retrofitting.

Alternatively, there is a model from the respective product series with the designation MT-"S" (smartphone), which is only able to receive traffic radio data by coupling with the smartphone. The same applies to the versions with Amazon Alexa, which are also available for both product series.
