What Type of Traffic Does My zumo XT Use?

Your zumo XT uses a mobile app called the Garmin Drive App to receive traffic information near your location or along your route.  This free-to-download app uses a small amount of cellular data to gather information on traffic and transmits it to your device over a Bluetooth connection.

See the Appropriate Link Below for Instructions to Set Up Garmin Drive App Traffic on your Device.

• Setting up/Pairing the Garmin Drive App Traffic on an Android Phone
• Setting up/Pairing the Garmin Drive App Traffic on an iPhone

Note: Your phone must be in a coverage area for your carrier for the Garmin Drive App to provide traffic. This coverage varies by the cellular provider.
