PREFACE
Caution
This manual uses the term Caution to indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury or property damage. It
may also be used without the symbol to alert you to avoid unsafe practices.
English
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.
The unit has no user-serviceable parts. If you ever have a problem with
your unit, take it to an authorized Garmin dealer for repairs.
The unit is fastened shut with screws. Any attempt to open the case to
change or modify the unit in any way voids your warranty and may
result in permanent damage to the equipment.
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 extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map
information is either not available or is prohibitively expensive.
