Using FM TMC Traffic

The traffic receiver is included in the nüvi
860 package and is an optional accessory for
the nüvi 850. Visit http://buy.garmin.com for

more information.

If the nüvi is connected to the FM Traffic
Message Channel (TMC) traffic receiver,
connected to vehicle power, and you are in
a coverage area, the nüvi can receive traffic
delay information. For more information,
visit www.garmin.com/traffic.
When calculating your route, the
nüvi examines the current traffic and
automatically optimizes the route for the
shortest time. You might still be routed
through traffic if no alternative roads exist.

route while you are navigating, the nüvi
