Using FM Trafc
Use an FM TMC (Trafc Message
Channel) trafc receiver to receive
trafc information broadcast over the
FM Radio Data System. For information
about FM trafc receivers and coverage
areas, see www.garmin.com/trafc.
NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for
the accuracy of the trafc information.
The FM trafc receiver receives
signals from the trafc service
provider and shows that information
on your nüvi.
NOTE: The FM trafc receiver and
nüvi must be in data range of an FM
station transmitting TMC data to
receive trafc information.
NOTE: The nüvi must be connected
to the optional FM trafc receiver to
access trafc information.
NOTE: If your FM TMC trafc
receiver has an antenna with suction
cups on it, route the antenna on your
windshield vertically using the suction
cups.
