Traffic
Garmin® is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of the traffic information.
Your device can provide information about traffic on the road ahead or on your route. You can set your device to avoid traffic when calculating routes, and to find a new route to your destination if a large traffic delay occurs on your active route (Traffic Settings). The traffic map allows you to browse the map for traffic delays in your area.
To provide traffic information, your device must be receiving traffic data.
-
All product models can receive subscription-free traffic data using the Garmin Drive™ app (Receiving Traffic Data Using Your Smartphone).
Traffic data is not available in all areas. For information about traffic coverage areas, go to garmin.com/traffic.
