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. 

For information about traffic receivers and coverage areas, go 

to 

www.garmin.com/traffic

.

A traffic receiver is included in some packages, built into either 

the vehicle power cable or the device, and is an optional 

accessory for all models.
• Traffic alerts appear on the map when there are traffic 

incidents along your route or in your area.

• The device must be connected to vehicle power to receive 

traffic information through a traffic receiver.

• The powered traffic receiver and the device may need to be 

in data range of a station transmitting traffic data to receive 

traffic information.

• You do not need to activate the subscription included with 

your device or traffic receiver.

• If your device includes an external traffic antenna, you 

should always leave the external antenna plugged in for the 

best traffic reception.

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.

Gray

: Traffic information is not available.

Green

: Traffic is flowing freely.

Red

: Traffic is not moving or moving very slowly. There is a 

severe delay.

Yellow

: Traffic is moving, but there is a delay. There is 

moderate traffic congestion.

Traffic on Your Route

When a traffic delay occurs on your route, an alert appears on 

the map, and the device calculates an alternate route to avoid 

the delay. You can choose whether to use alternate routes 

automatically, or upon request. See Traffic Settings for more 

information (

Traffic Settings

). 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.
