The 760 does have traffic. It all depends on where you are and if that section of hwy has traffic sensors. So an accident in the middle of nowhere probably not but between Colorado Springs and Denver it will. It tells you how long the delay and gives you options to take an alternate route. The traffic feature is built in and has a traffic reciever built into the power cord.
If you link it to your phone by bluetooth for a small fee (I think it was $10 Lifetime) you can have weather and HD traffic as well. The weather is a great feature. It will warn you if there is any significant weather on a route if you have a destination set. It then overlays the weather radar in real time onto your map screen. I have used it to drive right up to and then stop for the night in a snow storm. High wind and other weather will also show up and warn you with a beep and a red banner across the top of the screen. You can click on it and read the weather warning from NOAA.
What I will add though is that Garmin is not very good at keeping up with my Iphone software versions. A lot of times i cannot link my phone to the GPS because the phone is on a newer updated OS and Garmin has not updated their software to be compatible. Also one other issue I have with the RV 760 is that the RV length, width, Height stuff is mostly worthless at least in my area. Anytime I get off a hwy with it in that mode it tells me I am on my own and is annoying. I just keep it in car mode.
