Receiving Traffic When Traveling to a Different Country
Your Garmin device has the ability to receive traffic when traveling to some other countries. See the requirements below for each traffic type.
NOTE: Not all Garmin automotive products are compatible with traffic. Check the material that came with your device or the device's owner's manual for traffic compatibility.

To Receive Traffic in Another Country on Your Device:
Your device must have added mapping of the country you are traveling to.
Traffic services will only work on a compatible device that has City Navigator NT mapping of the area.
For example, if the traffic service is for South Africa, the corresponding City Navigator South Africa NT map must be on your device in order for the traffic to function.
See Purchasing and Downloading a New Map Region for an Automotive Device for instructions.
Contact your Mobile Provider to verify data; coverage, roaming, and charges.
For most devices, see Garmin Drive™ App and dēzl™ App Data Usage
For the Garmin DriveSmart™ 65, Garmin DriveSmart™ 66, Garmin DriveSmart™ 76, and Garmin DriveSmart™ 86 with Amazon Alexa, see Garmin Drive™ App Data Usage.
For information on setting up dēzl™ App traffic or Garmin Drive™ App traffic, go to the Support Center and enter the product name or the serial number of your device. Once your device is selected, in Search for a solution... field, enter "Setting up Garmin Traffic".
