The GTM 11 works with your Garmin GPS device to show traffic flow
and incident information and enable routing around the traffic incident.
Although each GPS device operates differently, they all provide the same
basic traffic information.
NOTE: The GTM 11 and GPS device must be in data range of an
FM station transmitting TMC data to receive traffic information.
NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of the traffic
information. The GTM 11 simply receives signals from the traffic
service provider and shows that information on your GPS device.
