Caring for the Unit
The nüvi case is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user
maintenance except cleaning.
Cleaning the Case
Clean the nüvi’s outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened with a
mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that
may damage plastic components.
Cleaning the Screen
The nüvi screen should be cleaned using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Water, isopropyl
alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid
to the cloth and then gently wipe the screen with the moistened cloth.
Storage
Do not store the nüvi where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur
(such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result.

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may result in injury or
property damage.
The nüvi is designed to provide you with route suggestions. It does not reflect road closures
or road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions, or other factors that may affect
safety or timing while driving.
Use the nüvi only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the nüvi for any purpose
requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography. This product
should not be used to determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is
solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The government’s system is subject to
changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment, including
the nüvi. Although the nüvi is a precision navigation device, any navigation device can be
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
This TFR Overlay Display System (TODS) is updated Monday–Friday, 1200–2000 UTC.
CONFIRM DATA CURRENCY THROUGH ALTERNATE SOURCES AT OTHER TIMES.
For interpretation of this TFR contact your local FSS.

Map Data Information: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most
complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination
of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright
messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data
to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or
is prohibitively expensive.
Notice to State of California Drivers: California Vehicle Code Section 26708 (a) (1) provides that
“No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed,
affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows.” Drivers in California should
not use the suction mount on their windshield or side or rear windows. Garmin does not take any
responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding
this notice. A disk for attaching the suction mount to a vehicle’s dashboard is enclosed.
