Garmin nuvi 5000 Quick Start Manual - Page 7

Using the FM Transmitter Before using the FM transmitter in your area, see the FM transmitter legal notice in the owner's manual. Use of FM transmitters is currently illegal in certain European countries due to specific radio frequency restrictions. You must check the local regulations in all European countries in which you intend to use the FM transmitter to ensure its legality. You can listen to the audio from your nüvi on your vehicle's speakers. From the Menu page, touch Volume > Audio Output > FM Transmitter. Select an FM channel for the FM transmitter, and select the same channel on your nüvi. Using FM TMC Traffic If your nüvi is connected to the optional FM TMC (Traffic Message Channel) traffic receiver and you are in a coverage area, the nüvi can receive traffic information. For more information about FM traffic receivers and coverage areas, see www.garmin .com/traffic. Traffic on Your Route When calculating your route, the nüvi examines the current traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest time. You might still be routed through traffic if no alternative roads exist. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are navigating, the nüvi automatically recalculates the route. The Map page displays or when there is traffic on your route. The number in the icon represents the number of minutes the traffic has added to your route, which has been automatically calculated into the arrival time shown on the map. The locale you selected at initial startup determines which type of traffic icon is used: diamondshaped icons ( ) for North America, triangular icons ( ) for Europe. Using MSN® Direct With an optional MSN Direct Receiver, you can access MSN Direct content. For more information, see www.garmin.com/traffic or http://garmin.msndirect.com.
