Using Safety Cameras

Safety camera information is

available in some locations. Check

http://my.garmin.com

for availability.

For these locations, the nüvi includes

the locations of hundreds of safety

cameras. Your nüvi alerts you when

you are approaching a safety camera

and can warn you if you are driving

too fast. The data is updated at least

weekly, so you always have access to

the most up-to-date information.
You can purchase a new region

or extend an existing subscription

at any time. Each region that you

purchase has an expiration date.
