Understanding Traffic

Your navigation system can receive traffic
information using the built-in traffic receiver or
a traffic subscription from Garmin Live Services

range of a station transmitting traffic data to
receive traffic information. The traffic subscription
activates automatically after your navigation
system acquires satellite signals while receiving
traffic signals from the service provider. You can
add other subscriptions at any time.

You can purchase a traffic subscription to receive
traffic data using Smartphone Link. When your
navigation system is connected to Smartphone

system will begin displaying traffic information.
