Smart traffic avoidance with Garmin Traffic Alerts

Arrive at your destination on time, fresh and stress-free with Garmin�s smart traffic avoidance.

Selected Garmin sat-navs come with our distinctive, streaming traffic service, which uses live traffic data from cameras located every two miles along every major route to help you avoid the tailbacks.

Benefits

Our live traffic camera network comprises:

3500 fixed infrared sensors mounted on motorway over-bridges
4500 passive target flow measurement 'blue pole' cameras, installed at the roadside on trunk roads
All congestion charging zone cameras in London
Coverage of over 8,000 miles of motorway and trunk roads in England, Scotland and Wales

How does it work?

The Garmin traffic service uses a combination of cameras and authenticated feeds from reliable sources such as the highways agency, police control centres and urban traffic control centres to provide up to date and accurate information on traffic congestion. Traffic information is then broadcast over a national network of FM radio stations, ensuring excellent reception of real-time data direct to your Garmin sat nav.

As the weight of traffic increases year on year, and more and more time is spent in the car travelling to and from work, to the shops or on holiday, Garmin�s traffic service works to ensure your journey times are kept to a minimum. Using the most comprehensive, accurate and dynamic traffic monitoring network in the UK, Garmin�s traffic-enabled personal navigation devices come with free a subscription for the lifetime of the product, while compatible products can be upgraded with our optional traffic accessory.
