Purchasing a Premium Traffic Subscription for Another Country

If you are visiting another country1, an additional subscription can be purchased using the link below. There are several different traffic providers to choose from, which cover different countries. Please verify the coverage area before purchasing, as the subscriptions are non-refundable.

If your device already came with a free traffic subscription for your desired country, then you will not need to purchase a new subscription. See Activate the Free Navteq Traffic Subscription that Came with My GPS Device for instructions on activating your free traffic subscription.

To Purchase the Premium Traffic Subscription:

  1. Visit the following link: https://buy.garmin.com/cTrafficSubscriptions.html?ra=true
  2. Select the traffic subscription that you would like to purchase
  3. Follow the on-screen prompts to purchase the subscription

The traffic receiver Unit ID is required to activate your newly purchased traffic subscription.


To Locate the Unit ID for the Traffic Receiver:

  1. Connect the Traffic Receiver/Vehicle power cable to the Garmin device
  2. Touch Settings
  3. Touch Traffic
  4. Touch Subscriptions
  5. Touch the 2019 add profile icon Add button

The traffic services will only work on a compatible device that has City Navigator NT maps for the traffic coverage area. For example, if the traffic service is for South Africa, the corresponding City Navigator South Africa NT map must be purchased for your compatible device in order for the traffic to work.
