Talkin' GPS's, Garmin specifically

Does anyone have a Garmin nuvi with traffic? Is it helpful or just bling? Most of my work involves interstate driving so it could be of benefit if it functions well. How about a model that the destination address balloon is too big and obscures too much of the map? Some online ratings list that as a negative on some models. Someone helped themselves to my ancient outdated C340 so I have to buy a new one for the truck and am looking for personal input/opinions. I think I want to stick to Garmin and a pretty basic one at that, no bluetooth needed. I don't carry a laptop and I don't want it on my "dumb phone".Thanks

I bought a garmin nuvi 50 lm 3-4 months ago and have been very happy with it. Have used it both for local stuff and long distance.It has speed camera locations and lifetime map updates.
