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, arrows on the map, and directions at the top of
the map. 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.
