nüvi 610/660 Owner’s Manual 29USING FM TRAFFICUSING FM TRAFFICIf you are using a trafﬁc receiver, you can view trafﬁc information on your nüvi. When a trafﬁc message is received, your nüvi displays the incident on the map, and you can change your route to avoid the trafﬁc incident. For trafﬁc data coverage areas, refer to the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com/fmtrafﬁc. NOTE: The FM trafﬁc receiver and nüvi must be in data range of an FM station transmitting trafﬁc data to receive trafﬁc information. NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of the trafﬁc information. The FM trafﬁc receiver simply receives signals from the trafﬁc service provider and displays that information on your nüvi. NOTE: You can only access the trafﬁc information if the nüvi is connected to an FM trafﬁc receiver.

NOTE: You do not need to activate the subscription included with your FM trafﬁc receiver (if it came with one). The subscription activates automatically after your nüvi acquires satellite signals while receiving trafﬁc signals from the pay service provider. Adding a Subscription1. On the Menu page, touch Settings > Trafﬁc > Add. 2. Write down the FM trafﬁc receiver’s unit ID. Go to www.garmin.com/fmtrafﬁc to purchase a subscription and get a code.3. After you receive the 25-character code, touch Next on the nüvi, and enter the code. 4. Touch Done. You must obtain a new code each time you renew your service.

nüvi 610/660 Owner’s Manual 33USING THE FM TRANSMITTERUSING THE FM TRANSMITTERIf an FM transmitter is available on your nüvi 660, you can listen to your nüvi audio on an FM stereo. NOTE: When using the FM transmitter function on the nüvi, any phone calls that you place or receive through the nüvi might be overheard by adjacent vehicles through the FM stereo.Listening to the nüvi on an FM Stereo1. On the Menu page, touch > Audio Output > FM Transmitter > OK.2. If you are using a trafﬁc receiver, touch Auto Tune. Then tune your stereo to the selected channel. OR Tune your stereo to an FM channel that has a lot of static and has a low FM frequency number. Then select that same channel on the nüvi.Switching between the nüvi and an FM Stereo1. On the Menu page, touch > Audio Output.2. Touch an output mode, and touch OK.To switch the audio output between the nüvi and an FM stereo (where available), quickly press the Power button twice.

34 nüvi 610/660 Owner’s ManualUSING THE FM TRANSMITTERFM Transmitter TipsThe FM transmitter is intended to transmit your nüvi’s audio to your FM stereo.Do not adjust your FM settings while you are driving your vehicle. When searching for an appropriate FM frequency on your FM stereo, look for an unused frequency that has steady, consistent static. If you hear slight noises and sounds in the background of the static, choose a different frequency.As you travel, you might need to change the frequency for the FM transmitter. A frequency not used by a radio station in your area might be used by a station elsewhere. As you drive, you may notice changes in the background static even though there is no FM station using that channel. You may notice this as you drive through intersections where certain kinds of trafﬁc lights or other municipal electronic systems are operating. You might also notice this effect when the terrain changes, allowing distant stations to be received by your car stereo that were not received when you made your initial frequency selection. These and other sources of electrical interference may make it necessary to look for another frequency. The distance between the 12-Volt adapter, the nüvi, and the FM stereo antenna may also affect the noise level. Vehicles with antennas located far away, such as a rear-mounted antenna, may experience more interference from outside noise sources than vehicles with front-mounted antennas.
