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.
