NOTICE
Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of the traffic information.
Your device can provide information about traffic on the road ahead or on your route. You can set your device to
avoid traffic when calculating routes, and to find a new route to your destination if a large traffic delay occurs on
your active route (
). The traffic map allows you to browse the map for traffic delays in
your area.
To provide traffic information, your device must be receiving traffic data.

traffic receiver is included with some product models (

receiver accessory.
