broadcast signal, where available. To receive over-the-air traffic
data, the device must be connected to vehicle power using a
traffic-compatible power cable. A traffic receiver is included with
some product models (Traffic, page 13). .
Traffic data is not available in all areas. For information about
traffic coverage areas, go to garmin.com/traffic.
Connect the device to vehicle power using the traffic
compatible power cable (Mounting and Powering the dēzl
Device in Your Vehicle, page 1).

cable included with your device is traffic compatible.
