browse the map for traffic delays in your area.
To provide traffic information, your device must be receiving
traffic data.

an over-the-air broadcast signal using the built-in traffic
receiver and the included vehicle power cable (
traffic data using a traffic receiver
).

traffic-compatible power cable. A traffic receiver is included with
some product models (
