Note: You do not need to activate

the subscription included with your

satellite signals while receiving traffic
signals from the pay service provider.

Using FM TMC Traffic

The traffic receiver is included in some nvi

710, 750T, 760, and 770 packages.
If the nvi is connected to the FM TMC
traffic receiver, connected to vehicle power,
and you are in a coverage area, the nvi can
receive traffic delay information. For more
information, visit www.garmin.com/traffic.

Using Hands-Free Features

Bluetooth wireless technology is available in

nvi 710, 760, and 770 only.

When calculating your route, the nvi

examines the current traffic and automatically
optimizes the route for the shortest time.
You might still be routed through traffic if no
alternative roads exist. If a severe traffic delay
occurs on your route while you are navigating,
the nvi automatically recalculates the route.

Hands-free phone features are available only if

your nvi and your compatible mobile phone
have Bluetooth wireless technology. Not
all phones support all the hands-free phone
features the nvi provides. To use the handsfree features, you must pair your phone and
the nvi.
