NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD
MOUNTING LEGAL RESTRICTIONS:
State law in Minnesota and California
prohibits or restricts drivers from using
suction mounts on their windshields
while operating motor vehicles. (See
California Vehicle Code 26708(a);
Minnesota Statutes Section 169.71)
Other Garmin dashboard or friction
mount options should be used when
driving in those states. Many other
states have enacted restrictions
against placing “non-transparent
material” upon the windshield or
placing objects upon the windshield
that obstruct the driver’s vision (for
example, New Jersey law currently
prohibits windshield objects that “unduly
interfere” with the driver’s vision to
the front or sides). Check your state
and local laws and ordinances where
you drive before using the suction cup
mount on your windshield.
IT IS THE
USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE
THE GARMIN UNIT AND MOUNTING
OPTIONS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT
THE USER IS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND
ORDINANCES.
Remember to always
mount your Garmin unit in a location
that does not obstruct the driver’s
view of the road. Garmin does not
assume any responsibility for any fines,
penalties, or damages that may be
incurred as a result of disregarding this
notice or as a result of any state or local
law or ordinance relating to the use of
your Garmin unit.
