The Garmin

GTM 21 FM TMC Trafc

Receiver receives Trafc Message Channel

(TMC) information broadcast over the FM

radio data system. When a trafc message is

received, your Garmin GPS device can change

your route to avoid the trafc incident. For

coverage areas, refer to the Garmin Web site at

www.garmin.com/trafc.

To receive trafc information, the trafc

receiver must be connected to the GPS device,

connected to an external power source, and the

trafc receiver and GPS device must be in data

range of an FM station transmitting TMC data.

NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the

accuracy of the trafc information.

EN–2 GTM 21 Instructions

NOTE: Heated (metalized) windshields

could degrade the performance of the trafc

receiver.

Service and Subscription

receiver receives trafc data through either

a premium service or a free, public service.

For information about your trafc service

subscription, see the product packaging or

the Trafc settings in the GPS device. The

subscription activates automatically after your

Garmin GPS device acquires satellite signals

while receiving trafc signals from the service

provider.

You can add other FM TMC subscriptions

at any time. Check the Garmin Web site at
