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. 1 Connect the traffic-compatible power cable to an external power source. 2 Connect the traffic-compatible power cable to the device. When you are within a traffic coverage area, your device displays traffic information.

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 automatically.
