Caution
CAUTION
Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations may result in injury or
property damage.
The unit 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 unit only as a navigational aid. Do not
attempt to use the unit 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 unit. Although the unit is a
precision navigation device, any navigation
device can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.
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 inaccurate or incomplete data to some
degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is
either not available or prohibitively expensive.
NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA:
California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor
vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. Garmin does not take any
responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this
notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.)
