Your Route on the Map

NOTICE

The speed limit feature is for information only and does not

replace your responsibility to abide by all posted speed limit

signs and to use safe driving judgment at all times. Garmin will

not be responsible for any traffic fines or citations you receive

for failing to follow all applicable traffic laws and signs.

The route is marked with a magenta line. A checkered flag
