The GTM 10 works with your Garmin GPS to display
traffic events and enable re-routing. The FM TMC
traffic information is received through radio signals
transmitted by independent service providers. With the
GTM 10 in your vehicle, you can see traffic problems
down the road and avoid them! This section provides
an overview of the traffic data.
NOTE: The GTM 10 and GPS device must be in
data range of an FM station that is transmitting
TMC data to receive traffic information. The
data range of an FM station is not as far as the
listening range.
NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the
accuracy of the traffic information. The GTM 10
simply receives signals from the traffic service
provider and displays that information on your
GPS device.
Although each model of GPS device operates
differently, they all provide the same basic traffic
information.
Symbols on the Map
The map displays icons that represent traffic events.
For example, the map might show a construction
symbol meaning that roadwork is in progress in that
area. The symbols vary by region but are highly
recognizable.
Traffic Information Lists
Each traffic event is displayed in a list. You can read
the list for incidents in your path and in your area.
Route Changes
If you are navigating a route, your GPS device gives
you the option to alter your route and avoid traffic
incidents.
