Traffic

NOTICE

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

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

A traffic receiver is included in some packages, and is an optional accessory for all models. It is built into the vehicle power cable. The powered traffic receiver and the device must be 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.

Disabling Live Traffic

1 Select Settings.
2 Clear the Live Traffic check box.

The device no longer receives live traffic data, but automobile routes still avoid potentially congested areas using trafficTrends, if enabled (page 56).

Traffic Data

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.

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

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.

Red High Traffic is not moving or moving slowly. There is a severe delay.

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.
