All you must do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you will be prepared to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you are forced into a detour that isn’t relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi’s sophisticated auto routing will get you back on track in no time.

A 3 month subscription to TMC Clear Channel’s Total Traffic Network is included with buy of this device.
