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 LEGAL RESTRICTIONS: Before

using the suction cup mount on your windshield,
check the state and local laws and ordinances where
you drive. Some state laws prohibit drivers from
using suction mounts on their windshields while
operating motor vehicles. Other state laws allow the

suction mount to be located only in specic locations

on the windshield. Many other states have enacted
restrictions against placing “non-transparent material”
on the windshield or placing objects on the windshield
in locations that obstruct the driver’s vision. IT IS

THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THE
GARMIN DEVICE AND MOUNTING OPTIONS
IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE USER IS IN
COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS
AND ORDINANCES. Where required, other Garmin

dashboard or friction mount options should be used to
comply with state and local laws and ordinances. Always
mount your Garmin device in a location that does not
obstruct the driver’s view of the road. Garmin does not

assume 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 state or local law or
