Traffic
NOTICE
Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of the
traffic information.
Your device can provide information about traffic on the road
ahead or on your route. You can set your device to avoid traffic
when calculating routes, and to find a new route to your
destination if a large traffic delay occurs on your active route
(Traffic Settings, page 21). The traffic map allows you to
browse the map for traffic delays in your area.
To provide traffic information, your device must be receiving
traffic data.
• Your device receives free traffic data through the
Smartphone Link app (Receiving Traffic Data Using
Smartphone Link, page 15).
• All product models can receive traffic data using an over-the-
air traffic receiver cable accessory (Receiving Traffic Data
Using a Traffic Receiver, page 15). Go to your product page
at garmin.com to find and purchase a compatible traffic
receiver cable accessory.
Traffic data is not available in all areas. For information about
traffic coverage areas, go to www.garmin.com/traffic.

Receiving Traffic Data Using a Traffic

NOTICE

cable is available as an accessory for all product models. Go to
your product page at garmin.com to find and purchase a
compatible traffic receiver cable accessory. Traffic data is not
available in all areas.
Connect the device to vehicle power using the traffic receiver
cable (Mounting and Powering the dēzl Device in Your

When you are within a traffic coverage area, your device can
display traffic information and help you avoid traffic delays.

feature to keep track of your working hours, which may help you
comply with safety regulations.
NOTE: Break planning features are not available when using the
car vehicle profile.
