NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD
MOUNTING LEGAL RESTRICTIONS: State
law in Minnesota and California prohibits or restricts
drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields
while operating motor vehicles. (See California Vehicle
Code 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes Section 169.71)
Other Garmin dashboard or friction mount options
should be used when driving in those states. Many
other states have enacted restrictions against placing
"non-transparent material" upon the windshield or
placing objects upon the windshield that obstruct the
driver's vision (for example, New Jersey law currently
prohibits windshield objects that "unduly interfere"
with the driver's vision to the front or sides). Check
your state and local laws and ordinances where you
drive before using the suction cup mount on your
windshield. IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY
TO USE THE GARMIN UNIT AND MOUNTING
OPTIONS IN SUCH AMANNER THAT THE
USER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE LAWS AND ORDINANCES.
