nüvi 205/205W series owner’s manual  27Using FM TrafcUsing FM TrafcThe trafc receiver is included in some nüvi 205/205W series packages and is an optional accessory for all nüvi 205/205W series models. Use an FM Trafc Message Channel (TMC) trafc receiver to receive trafc information broadcast over the FM Radio Data System. The trafc receiver is integrated in the vehicle power cable.In North America, trafc receivers that are included in your nüvi package provide you with free, ad-based trafc information that does not require a subscription. Trafc information is not available in all markets. See page 26 for more information.Mini-USB connectorPower LEDExternal antenna connectorVehicle power adapterInternal antennaIf the nüvi is connected to the trafc receiver, connected to vehicle power, and in a coverage area, the nüvi can receive trafc delay information. For more information, go to  www.garmin.com/trafc.  NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of the trafc information. The FM trafc receiver receives signals from the trafc service provider and displays that information on your nüvi.

We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain some inaccurate or incomplete data. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or is prohibitively expensive. The California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 requires the recycling of certain electronics.  For more information on the applicability to this product, see www.erecycle.org.NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD MOUNTING LEGAL RESTRICTIONS: State law in Minnesota and California prohibits or restricts drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. (See California Vehicle Code 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes Section 169.71) Other Garmin dashboard or friction mount options should be used when driving in those states. Many other states have enacted restrictions against placing “non-transparent material” upon the windshield or placing objects upon the windshield that obstruct the driver’s vision (for example, New Jersey law currently prohibits windshield objects that “unduly interfere” with the driver’s vision to the front or sides). Check your state and local laws and ordinances where you drive before using the suction cup mount on your windshield. IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THE GARMIN UNIT AND MOUNTING OPTIONS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE USER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND ORDINANCES. 190-00720-01_0E.indd   2 7/15/2008   4:53:02 PM
