Your Route on the Map

NOTICE

The speed limit feature is for information only and does not 

replace your responsibility to abide by all posted speed limit 

signs and to use safe driving judgment at all times. Garmin will 

not be responsible for any traffic fines or citations you receive for 

failing to follow all applicable traffic laws and signs.
The route is marked with a magenta line. A checkered flag 

marks your destination.
As you travel, the device guides you to the destination with voice 

prompts (when the device is in the automotive mount or 

connected to a Bluetooth headset), arrows on the map, and 

directions at the top of the map. Depending on recalculation 

settings, if you depart from the original route, the device 

recalculates the route and provides new directions.
A data field displaying the current speed limit may appear as 

you travel on major roadways.

button to the map (

If you decide not to go to the next point in your route, you can 

skip the point. This prevents the device from attempting to route 

you back to the missed point. This feature is not available when 

the next point is your final destination.

From the map, select  .

Navigating to Skipped Waypoints

By default, your device skips waypoints automatically as you 

pass them. If you did not intend to skip a waypoint, you can 

navigate to a waypoint that has been skipped automatically.

While navigating a route, you can use detours to avoid obstacles 

ahead of you, such as construction zones.
