NOTICE

The speed limit feature is for information only and does not

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

failing to follow all applicable traffic laws and signs.

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

As you travel, the device guides you to the destination with voice
