About Trafc
Notice
Garmin is not responsible for the
accuracy or timeliness of FM Trafc
information.
Some models can receive FM
Trafc Message Channel (TMC)
trafc content. The FM TMC trafc
receiver, which is integrated in the
vehicle power cable, is included in
some packages. The FM TMC trafc
subscription is automatically enabled.
For information about trafc receivers
and coverage areas, go to www
.garmin.com/trafc.
Receiving Trafc
Information
The vehicle power cable and the
device must be in data range of
an FM station transmitting trafc
information.
1. Connect the trafc receiver to an
external power source.
2. Connect the trafc receiver to the
device.
NOTE: Heated (metallized)
windshields could degrade the
performance of the trafc receiver.
Trafc on Your Route
When calculating your route, the
device examines the current trafc
and automatically optimizes the
route for the shortest time. If a severe
trafc delay occurs on your route
while you are navigating, the device
automatically recalculates the route.
You might still be routed through
trafc if no better alternative routes
exist.
