the vehicle

dash.

sources, including information from street signs,

visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always

resolve any discrepancies or questions before

continuing navigation.

Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.

Do not become distracted by the unit while

driving, and always be fully aware of all driving

conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent

viewing the screen of the unit while driving and

use voice prompts when possible. Do not input

destinations, change settings, or access any

functions requiring prolonged use of the unit’s

controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and

legal manner before attempting such operations.

The unit contains a non-user-replaceable,

rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery

may present a risk of ﬁre or chemical burn if

CAUTION

Important Information

MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most

complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. 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 inaccurate or incomplete data to some

degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is

either not available or prohibitively expensive.

NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA:

State law prohibits drivers in

California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor

vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. Garmin does not take any

responsibility for any ﬁnes, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this

notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.)

NOTICE: This Category II radiocommunication device complies with Industry Canada Standard RSS-310.

Failure to avoid the following potentially

hazardous situations may result in injury or

property damage.

The unit is designed to provide you with route

suggestions. It does not reﬂect road closures

or road conditions, trafﬁc congestion, weather

conditions, or other factors that may affect safety

or timing while driving.

Use the unit only as a navigational aid. Do not

attempt to use the unit for any purpose requiring

precise measurement of direction, distance,

location, or topography. This product should

not be used to determine ground proximity for

aircraft navigation.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is

operated by the United States government,

which is solely responsible for its accuracy

and maintenance. The government’s system

is subject to changes which could affect the

accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment,

including the unit. Although the unit is a

precision navigation device, any navigation

device can be misused or misinterpreted and,

therefore, become unsafe.
