NOTICE

The speed limit feature is for information only and does not 

replace your responsibility to abide by all posted speed limit 

signs and to use safe driving judgment at all times. Garmin will 

not be responsible for any traffic fines or citations you receive 

for failing to follow all applicable traffic laws and signs.

The route is marked with a magenta line. A checkered flag 

marks your destination.
As you travel, the device guides you to the destination with 

voice prompts, arrows on the map, and directions at the top of 

the map. If you depart from the original route, the device 

recalculates the route and provides new directions.
A data field displaying the current speed limit may appear as
