The Garmin
®
GTM 21 FM TMC Trafc
Receiver receives Trafc Message Channel
(TMC) information broadcast over the FM
radio data system. When a trafc message is
received, your Garmin GPS device can change
your route to avoid the trafc incident. For
coverage areas, refer to the Garmin Web site at
www.garmin.com/trafc.
To receive trafc information, the trafc
receiver must be connected to the GPS device,
connected to an external power source, and the
trafc receiver and GPS device must be in data
range of an FM station transmitting TMC data.
NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the
accuracy of the trafc information.
EN–2 GTM 21 Instructions
NOTE: Heated (metalized) windshields
could degrade the performance of the trafc
receiver.
Service and Subscription
Information
Depending on your region, your trafc
receiver receives trafc data through either
a premium service or a free, public service.
For information about your trafc service
subscription, see the product packaging or
the Trafc settings in the GPS device. The
subscription activates automatically after your
Garmin GPS device acquires satellite signals
while receiving trafc signals from the service
provider.
You can add other FM TMC subscriptions
at any time. Check the Garmin Web site at
www.garmin.com/fmtrafc for other available
services.
Before mounting the trafc receiver, see the Important
Safety and Product Information guide for information
about laws pertaining to windshield mounting
