30 series trafc receiver

30SeriesInstructions The Garmin GTM delivers Trafc Message Channel (TMC) information, including road conditions and trafc delays, to your GPS device. When trafc information is received, your GPS device displays trafc delays on the map. This information is used to avoid trafc delays and nd the fastest routes. The trafc information is broadcast over the FM Radio Data System (RDS). For coverage areas, refer to the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com /fmtrafc. NOTE: The GTM and the GPS device must be in data range of an FM station transmitting TMC data to receive trafc information. NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of the trafc information. The GTM receives signals from the trafc service provider and displays that information on your GPS device.3

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the GPS device product box for product warnings and other important information.

The subscription activates automatically after your Garmin GPS device acquires satellite signals while receiving trafc signals from the service provider. You can add other FM TMC subscriptions at any time. Go to www.garmin.com/fmtrafc.
