Using the FM Transmitter 

Before using the FM transmitter in your area, see 

the FM transmitter legal notice in the owner’s 

manual. Use of FM transmitters is currently illegal 

in certain European countries due to specific radio 

frequency restrictions. You must check the local 

regulations in all European countries in which 

you intend to use the FM transmitter to ensure its 

legality.

You can listen to the audio from your nüvi  

on your vehicle’s speakers. From the Menu 

page, touch

FM 

transmitter

. Select an FM channel for the 

FM transmitter, and select the same channel 

on your nüvi. 

Using FM TMC 

Traffic

If your nüvi is connected to the optional 

FM TMC (Traffic Message Channel) traffic 

receiver and you are in a coverage area, the 

nüvi can receive traffic information. For 

more information about FM traffic 

receivers 

and coverage areas, see www.garmin

Traffic on Your Route

When calculating your route, the 

nüvi examines the current traffic and 

automatically optimizes the route for the 

shortest time. You might still be routed 

through traffic if no alternative roads exist. 

If a severe traffic delay occurs on your 

route while you are navigating, the nüvi 

automatically recalculates the route.
The Map page displays   or   when 

there is traffic on your route. The number in 

the icon represents the number of minutes 

the traffic has added to your route, which 

has been automatically calculated into the 

arrival time shown on the map. The locale 

you selected at initial startup determines 

which type of traffic icon is used: diamond-

shaped icons ( ) for North America, 

triangular icons ( ) for Europe.
