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.
