Traffic Information

Using the built-in receiver, the navigation system can receive and use traffic information. When a traffic
message is received, you can see the event on the map and change your route to avoid the traffic incident.
Traffic information is not available on all models or in all areas.
NOTICE
Garmin and JVC KENWOOD is not responsible for
the accuracy or timeliness of the traffic information.
Traffic information may not be available in all areas
or countries.

Traffic Subscription Activation

You do not need to activate the subscription
included with your navigation system. The
subscription activates automatically after your
system acquires satellite signals while receiving
traffic signals from the pay service provider.

Understanding Traffic

Your navigation system can receive traffic
information using the built-in traffic receiver or
a traffic subscription from Garmin Live Services
(page 25). The traffic receiver must be in data
range of a station transmitting traffic data to
receive traffic information. The traffic subscription
activates automatically after your navigation
system acquires satellite signals while receiving
traffic signals from the service provider. You
can add other subscriptions at any time. For
information about traffic receivers and coverage
areas, go to www.garmin.com/kenwood.
