Traffic
NOTICE
Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of the
traffic information.
Your device can provide information about traffic on the road
ahead or on your route. You can set your device to avoid traffic
when calculating routes, and to find a new route to your
destination if a large traffic delay occurs on your active route
(Traffic Settings, page 22). The traffic map allows you to
browse the map for traffic delays in your area.
To provide traffic information, your device must be receiving
traffic data.
• Your device receives free traffic data through the
Smartphone Link app (Receiving Traffic Data Using
Smartphone Link, page 17).
• All product models can receive traffic data using an over-the-
air traffic receiver cable accessory (Receiving Traffic Data
Using a Traffic Receiver, page 17). Go to your product
page at garmin.com to find and purchase a compatible traffic
receiver cable accessory.
Traffic data is not available in all areas. For information about
traffic coverage areas, go to www.garmin.com/traffic.

broadcast signal, where available. An over-the-air traffic receiver
cable is available as an accessory for all product models. Go to
your product page at garmin.com to find and purchase a
compatible traffic receiver cable accessory. Traffic data is not
available in all areas.

Troubleshooting
My video recordings are blurry
• Clean the camera lens (Cleaning the Camera Lens,
page 24).
• Clean the windshield in front of the camera.
• Verify the area of the windshield in front of the camera is
cleared by the windshield wipers, and move the device, if
necessary.
My memory card has degraded and needs to
be replaced
All microSD memory cards wear out after they are overwritten a
large number of times. Because the dash camera records
continuously, you should replace the memory card periodically
(Installing the Dash Camera Memory Card, page 1). Your device
detects memory card errors automatically and alerts you when it
is time to replace your memory card.
You can take these actions to help extend the useful life of the
memory card.
• Turn off the device when your vehicle is not in use.
If your device is not connected to an ignition-switched vehicle
power outlet, you should turn off the device when your
vehicle is not in use to prevent the dash camera from
recording unneeded footage.
• Transfer saved video footage to a computer.
The memory card lasts longer when more free space is
available on the card.
• Use a high-quality memory card with a speed rating of class
10 or higher.
Purchase your replacement memory card from a high-quality
manufacturer and a reputable vendor.
My video recordings are choppy or
incomplete
• For the best camera and video results, use a high-quality
memory card with a speed rating of class 10 or higher.
A slower memory card may not record video quickly enough.
• If the device displays a memory card error alert, replace the
memory card (Installing the Dash Camera Memory Card,
page 1).
• Update your device to the latest software (Updating Maps
and Software with Garmin Express, page 23).
The suction cup will not stay on my
windshield

2Dry with a clean, dry cloth.
3Mount the suction cup (Mounting and Powering the Device in
Your Vehicle, page 1).
My device is not acquiring satellite signals
• Verify the GPS simulator is turned off (Navigation Settings,
page 21).
• Take your device out of parking garages and away from tall
buildings and trees.
• Remain stationary for several minutes.
The device does not charge in my vehicle
• Check the fuse in the vehicle power cable (Changing the
Fuse in the Vehicle Power Cable, page 25).
• Verify the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the
power outlet.
• Verify the interior temperature of the vehicle is within the
charging temperature range indicated in the specifications.
• Verify the fuse is not broken in the vehicle power outlet.
My battery does not stay charged for very
long
• Decrease the screen brightness (Display Settings, page 22).

The Smartphone Link app affects the battery
charge level on my smartphone
The Smartphone Link app uses Bluetooth wireless technology to
send data to and receive data from your device. It is normal for
Troubleshooting 25
an active Bluetooth connection to consume some battery power.
The app also periodically checks for updates to available
services, which may consume additional battery power.
You can change the battery usage settings in the Smartphone
Link app to reduce the amount of battery power the app uses.
1From the Smartphone Link app on your smartphone, select
.
2Scroll to the Battery Usage section, and select Settings.
3Select one or more options:
• Clear the Bluetooth Auto-Connect check box.
