cable packaged with your device. If your device model does not 

include traffic, you must purchase a Garmin traffic receiver 

accessory. Go to

Your device can receive traffic signals from a station 

broadcasting traffic data.

In some areas, traffic information may be received from 

FM radio stations using HD Radio™ technology.

Connect the traffic-compatible power cable to an external 

power source.
