RECAUTIONS

WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated 

by the United States government, which is solely responsible 

for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to 

changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all 

GPS equipment. Although the Garmin iQue M5 is a precision 

electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be 

misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components 

contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause 

cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being 

provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you 

have any questions or would like additional information, please 

refer to our web site at 

.

CAUTION: Use the iQue M5 at your own risk. To reduce 

the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand 

all aspects of this Owner’s Manual. When in actual use, 

carefully compare indications from the iQue M5 to all available 

navigation sources, including the information from other 

NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always 

resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

CAUTION: It is the user’s responsibility to use this product 

prudently. This product is intended to be used only as a 

navigational aid and must not be used for any purpose 

requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location 

or topography. This product should not be used as an aid to 

determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation.
CAUTION: The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is 

designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, 

not replace them. Only official government charts and notices to 

mariners contain all information needed for safe navigation—

and, as always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.
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 as required in product literature and copyright 

messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources 

contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This 

is particularly true outside the United States, where complete 

and accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively 

expensive.
