Using Garmin Online
Use Garmin Online to download location-relevant
information such as hotel and fuel prices (USA only),
live weather data, and traffic data. You can also
download safety camera information (Europe only).
Not all services are available in all areas.
From the main Garmin Mobile XT page, select
(Menu >) Tools > Garmin Online. Select an item to
view, such as traffic, weather, hotels, or fuel prices.
Your phone must have a data connection and data plan
to access Garmin Online. Your Garmin Online account
is activated automatically on most phones. Most
Garmin Online data is free, but your phone’s regular
internet and data transfer charges apply.
By default, each time you start navigating a route,
Garmin Mobile XT accesses Garmin Online to check
for traffic incidents on your route. If there is a traffic
incident, Garmin Mobile XT avoids the traffic when
generating the route.
