Traffic

NOTICE

Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of the traffic information.

NOTE: In some areas, traffic information may be received from FM radio stations using HD Radio™ technology.

Traffic information may not be available in all areas or countries.

Your device can receive traffic information using a compatible Garmin traffic receiver or a traffic subscription from Garmin Live Services (page 36). A traffic receiver is included in some packages. It is built into the vehicle power cable. The traffic receiver and device must be powered and in data range of a station transmitting traffic data to receive traffic information. You do not need to activate the subscription included with your traffic receiver.

For information about traffic receivers and coverage areas, go to www.garmin.com/traffic.

Enabling Traffic

1 Select Settings > Traffic.
2 Select Traffic.

Receiving Traffic Data Using a Traffic Receiver

NOTICES

Heated (metallized) windshields could degrade the performance of the traffic receiver.

When the receiver is within a traffic coverage area, your device will begin displaying traffic information.

The traffic receiver and the device may need to be in data range of an FM station transmitting traffic information.

1 Connect the traffic receiver to an external power source.
2 Connect the traffic receiver to the device.

About the Traffic Icon

When you are receiving traffic information, a traffic icon appears on the map. The traffic icon changes color to indicate the severity of traffic conditions.

Color Severity Meaning
Green Low Traffic is flowing freely.
Yellow Medium Traffic is moving but there is a delay. There is moderate traffic congestion.
Red High Traffic is not moving or moving slowly. There is a severe delay.
Gray No signal Traffic information is not available.

Traffic on Your Route

When calculating your route, the device examines the current traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest time. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are navigating, your device automatically recalculates the route.

The traffic icon 📋 changes color to indicate the severity of traffic conditions on your route or on the road you are currently traveling.

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.
