USING FM TRAFFIC
USING FM TRAFFIC
Use the FM TMC (Traffic Message
Channel) traffic receiver to receive
traffic information broadcast over the
FM Radio Data System. When a traffic
message is received, your c510 displays
the incident on the map and can change
your route to avoid the traffic incident.
For coverage areas, refer to
the Garmin Web site at www.garmin
.com/fmtraffic.
NOTE: The FM traffic receiver and
c510 must be in data range of an FM
station transmitting TMC data to
receive traffic information.
NOTE: Garmin is not responsible
for the accuracy of the traffic
information. The FM traffic receiver
simply receives signals from the
traffic service provider and shows
that information on your c510.
NOTE: You can only access the
traffic information if the c510 is
connected to an FM traffic receiver.
