Using Trafc Information

Using Trafc

Information

Your nüvi can receive FM TMC (Trafc
Message Channel) trafc or MSN®
Direct trafc content, depending upon
the trafc receiver connected to your

nüvi.

Your nüvi displays both types of trafc

content in the same manner.

NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for

the accuracy of the trafc information.

Understanding FM TMC

Trafc

The FM TMC trafc receiver, which

is integrated in the power cable, is
included in some nüvi 755, 765, and

775 packages. FM TMC trafc receivers
receive trafc information that is

broadcast over the FM Radio Data
System.

The FM TMC subscription activates
automatically after your Garmin GPS
device acquires satellite signals while

receiving trafc signals from the service

provider. You can add other FM TMC
subscriptions at any time. Check the
Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com

/fmtrafc for other available services.

Understanding MSN®

Direct Trafc

The MSN® Direct receiver, which is
integrated in the power cable, is included
in the nüvi 785 packages. MSN Direct
receivers receive MSN Direct content,

including trafc information.

For information about activating MSN
Direct service or using MSN Direct,
refer to the nüvi 785 Quick Start Manual
and the MSN Direct Owner’s Manual
Supplement at www.garmin.com.

Using Trafc Information

For information about trafc receivers

and coverage areas, go to

www.garmin.com/trafc.

Receiving Trafc

Information

To receive trafc information, the

following conditions must be met:

The trafc receiver must be

•
connected to the nüvi.

The trafc receiver and nüvi must

•
be connected to an external power
source.

The trafc receiver and nüvi must

•
be in data range of an FM station

transmitting trafc information.

NOTE: Heated (metallized)

windshields could degrade the

performance of the trafc receiver.

Trafc in Your Area

When you are receiving trafc
information, a trafc icon appears in the

upper-left corner of the Map page. The

trafc icon changes color to indicate
the severity of trafc conditions on

your route or the road you are currently

Using Trafc Information

Trafc on Your Route

When calculating your route, the

nüvi examines the current trafc and

automatically optimizes the route for

the shortest time. If a severe trafc

delay occurs on your route while you
are navigating, the nüvi automatically
recalculates the route. You might still

be routed through trafc if no better

alternative routes exist.

If a non-severe trafc delay occurs on
your route, the trafc icon shows how

much time the delay has added to your
route. This time is already included in
your estimated arrival time.

To manually avoid trafc on your

route:

1. On the Map page, touch the trafc

icon.

2. Touch Trafc On Route.

3. Touch the arrows to view other trafc

delays on your route, if necessary.

4. Touch Avoid to avoid the trafc delay.

Playing Audio Through Your Vehicle Speakers

Frequency Selection Tips

For best results, select a frequency below

90.1 FM.

When searching for an appropriate FM
frequency on your FM stereo, look for
an unused frequency that has steady,
consistent static. If you hear slight noises
and sounds in the background of the
static, select a different frequency.

As you travel, you might need to change
the frequency for the FM transmitter.
A frequency not used by a radio station
in your area might be used by a station
elsewhere.

FM Transmitter Information

The FM transmitter is intended to
transmit the audio from the nüvi to your
FM stereo.

Do not adjust your FM settings while
you are driving your vehicle.

The distance between the vehicle power
cable, the nüvi, and the FM stereo
antenna may also affect the noise level.
Vehicles with antennas located far
away, such as a rear-mounted antenna,
may experience more interference from
outside noise sources than vehicles with
front-mounted antennas.

As you drive, you may notice changes
in the background static even though
there is no FM station using that
channel. You may notice this as you
drive through intersections where certain

kinds of trafc lights or other municipal

electronic systems are operating. You
might also notice this effect when the
terrain changes, allowing distant stations
to be received by your car stereo that
were not received when you made your
initial frequency selection. These and
other sources of electrical interference
may make it necessary to look for
another frequency.

obstructions to use your nüvi.

When your nüvi has acquired satellite
signals, the signal strength bars on the

Important Legal Notice Regarding Your FM Transmitter

Your nüvi product contains an FM
transmitter. Read the following notices.

Using Your nüvi FM
Transmitter in Europe

Use of FM transmitters is currently
illegal in certain European countries due

You must check the local regulations
in all European countries in which
you intend to use the FM transmitter
to ensure its legality. You accept full
responsibility for complying with all
such laws and regulations applicable
in your particular country of operation.
Garmin disclaims all responsibility for
your failure to follow local laws and
regulations. This FM transmitter should
be limited to audio transmission for
