The Garmin GTM delivers Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information, including road conditions and traffic delays, to your GPS device. When traffic information is received, your GPS device displays traffic delays on the map. This information is used to avoid traffic delays and find the fastest routes.

The traffic information is broadcast over the FM Radio Data System (RDS). For coverage areas, refer to the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com/fmtraffic.

NOTE: The GTM and the GPS device must be in data range of an FM station transmitting TMC data to receive traffic information.

NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of the traffic information. The GTM receives signals from the traffic service provider and displays that information on your GPS device.
