Safety Cameras
NOTICE
Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of or the
consequences of using a custom point of interest or a safety
camera database.
Safety camera information is available in some locations. Check
www.garmin.com/safetycameras for availability. For these
locations, you can purchase a subscription for safety camera
information. The subscription includes the locations of hundreds
of safety cameras. Your device alerts you when you are
approaching a safety camera and can warn you if you are
driving too fast. The data is updated at least weekly, so you can
update your device regularly to receive the most up-to-date
information.
You can purchase a new region or extend an existing
subscription at any time. Each region that you purchase has an
expiration date.
Traffic
NOTICE
Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of the
traffic information.
Traffic information may not be available in all areas or countries.
For information about traffic receivers and coverage areas, go to
www.garmin.com/traffic.
A traffic receiver is included in some packages, built into either
the vehicle power cable or the device, and is an optional
accessory for all models.
• Traffic alerts appear on the map when there are traffic
incidents along your route or in your area.
• The device must be connected to vehicle power to receive
traffic information.
• The powered traffic receiver and the device may need to be
in data range of a station transmitting traffic data to receive
traffic information.
• You do not need to activate the subscription included with
your device or traffic receiver.
• If your device includes an external traffic antenna, you should
always leave the external antenna plugged in for the best
traffic reception.
Receiving Traffic Data Using a Traffic
Receiver
NOTICE
Heated (metallized) windshields could degrade the performance
of the traffic receiver.
Before you can receive traffic data using a traffic receiver, you
must have a traffic-compatible power cable. If your device model
includes lifetime traffic, you should use the vehicle power cable
packaged with your device. If your device model does not
include traffic, you must purchase a Garmin traffic receiver
accessory. Go to www.garmin.com/traffic for more information.
Your device can receive traffic signals from a station
broadcasting traffic data.
NOTE: In some areas, traffic information may be received from
FM radio stations using HD Radio™ technology.

information (Traffic Settings). Your device may route you
through a traffic delay if a better alternative route does not exist.
The delay time is added into your estimated time of arrival
