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.

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.

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.
