Receiving traffic data using a traffic receiver
NOTICE
Heated (metallised) windscreens could degrade the performance of the traffic receiver.
A traffic receiver receives traffic data from an over-the-air broadcast signal, where available. To receive over-
the-air traffic data, the device must be connected to vehicle power using a traffic-compatible power cable. A
traffic receiver is included with some product models (Traffic, page 28). If your product model does not include
a traffic receiver, you can 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 garmin.com/traffic.
Connect the device to vehicle power using the traffic-compatible power cable (Mounting and powering the
CamperVan device in your vehicle, page 2).
If your product model includes traffic data, the vehicle power cable included with your device is traffic-
compatible. If you purchased a traffic receiver cable as an accessory, you should use the accessory cable to
connect the device to vehicle power.
When you are within a traffic coverage area, your device can display traffic information and help you avoid
traffic delays.
Traffic Receiver Subscriptions
A regional traffic data subscription is included with most traffic receivers. You can add subscriptions for
additional regions to your traffic receiver. For more information, go to garmin.com/traffic.
