the vehicle power cable or the device, and is an optional
accessory for all models.
• The device must be connected to vehicle power to receive
traffic information.
• The powered traffic receiver and the device must be in data
range of a station transmitting traffic data to receive traffic
information.
• You do not need to activate the subscription included with
your traffic receiver.
• changes color to indicate the severity of traffic conditions
on your route or on the road you are currently traveling.
• If your device includes an external traffic antenna, you should
always leave the external antenna plugged in for the best
traffic reception.
Receiving Traffic Data Using a Traffic
Receiver
NOTICE
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.
NOTE: A traffic receiver cannot be used when the device is
connected to the motorcycle mount.
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.

About the Traffic Icon
When you are receiving traffic information, a traffic icon appears
on the map. The traffic icon changes color to indicate the
severity of traffic conditions.
Green: Traffic is flowing freely.
Yellow: Traffic is moving, but there is a delay. There is
moderate traffic congestion.
Red: Traffic is not moving or moving very slowly. There is a
severe delay.
Gray: Traffic information is not available.
Traffic on Your Route
When calculating your route, the device examines the current
traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest
time. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are
navigating, your device automatically recalculates the route.
The traffic icon changes color to indicate the severity of
traffic conditions on your route or on the road you are currently
traveling.
Your device may route you through a traffic delay if a better
alternative route does not exist. The delay time is added into
your estimated time of arrival automatically.
