The nüvi case is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance except cleaning.

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.

Caution

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 DATACURRENCYTHROUGHALTERNATE SOURCESAT 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.Adisk for attaching the suction mount to a vehicle’s dashboard is enclosed.
