Important Information

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
some inaccurate or incomplete data. In some countries,
complete and accurate map information is either not available or
is prohibitively expensive.

NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD MOUNTING;
SPECIAL NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND
MINNESOTA: State law prohibits drivers in California and

Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields
while operating motor vehicles. Check your state and local laws
and ordinances for similar restrictions. Other Garmin dashboard
or friction mounting options should be used. Garmin does not

take any responsibility for any nes, penalties, or damages that

may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice or as a
result of any other state or local law or ordinance relating to
use of the unit. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a);
Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.)

The California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003
requires the recycling of certain electronics. For more
information on the applicability to this product, see www.
