The Garmin® GTM 21 FM TMC Traffic

Receiver receives Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information broadcast over the FM radio data system. When a traffic message is received, your Garmin GPS device can change your route to avoid the traffic incident. For coverage areas, refer to the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com/traffic. To receive traffic information, the traffic receiver must be connected to the GPS device, connected to an external power source, and the traffic receiver and GPS device must be in data range of an FM station transmitting TMC data. Note: Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of the traffic information.

note: Heated (metalized) windshields could degrade the performance of the traffic receiver.

Service and Subscription

Depending on your region, your traffic receiver receives traffic data through either a premium service or a free, public service.

For information about your traffic service subscription, see the product packaging or the Traffic settings in the GPS device. The subscription activates automatically after your Garmin GPS device acquires satellite signals while receiving traffic signals from the service provider. You can add other FM TMC subscriptions at any time. Check the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com/fmtraffic for other available services.
