outdoor activities, such as biking, hiking, and all-terrain vehicles,
follow these guidelines to ensure safe off-road navigation.
• Always use your best judgment and exercise common sense
when making off-road navigational decisions. The Garmin device
is designed to provide route suggestions only. It is not a
replacement for attentiveness and proper preparation for outdoor
activities. Do not follow the route suggestions if they suggest an
illegal course or would put you in an unsafe situation.
• Always carefully compare information displayed on the device to
all available navigation sources, including trail signs, trail
conditions, weather conditions, and other factors that may affect
safety while navigating. For safety, always resolve any
discrepancies before continuing navigation, and defer to posted
signs and conditions.
• Always be mindful of the effects of the environment and the
inherent risks of the activity before embarking on off-road
activities, especially the impact that weather and weather-related
trail conditions can have on the safety of your activity. Ensure
that you have the proper gear and supplies for your activity
before navigating along unfamiliar paths and trails.
