Receiving Traffic Data Using a Traffic Receiver
Heated (metallized) windshields could degrade the performance of the traffic receiver.
Before you can receive traffic data using a traffic receiver, you must have a traffic-compatible power cable. If your device model includes lifetime traffic, you should use the vehicle power cable packaged with your device. If your device model does not include traffic, you must purchase a Garmin® traffic receiver accessory. Go to www.garmin.com/traffic for more information.
Your device can receive traffic signals from a station broadcasting traffic data.
NOTE:
In some areas, traffic information may be received from FM radio stations using
HD Radio™ technology.
- Connect the traffic-compatible power cable to an external power source.
- Connect the traffic-compatible power cable to the device.
When you are within a traffic coverage area, your device displays traffic information.
