Receiving Traffic Data Using a Traffic

NOTICE

Heated (metallized) windshields could degrade the performance

of the traffic receiver.

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.

Connect the traffic-compatible power cable to an external

power source.

through a traffic delay if a better alternative route does not exist.

The delay time is added into your estimated time of arrival
