Using FM Trafc
In Europe, your nüvi includes the FM TMC
(Trafc Message Channel) trafc receiver.
Trafc information is 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 displays
that information on your nüvi.
NOTE: The FM trafc receiver and the
nüvi must be in data range of an FM
station transmitting TMC data to receive
trafc information.
NOTE: For BMW kits that include
trafc, you can only access the trafc
information if the nüvi is connected to the
mount.
