Important Information
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin
is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate
cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost.
We use a combination of governmental and private data
sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright
messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data
sources contain some inaccurate or incomplete data. In some
countries, complete and accurate map information is either
not available or is prohibitively expensive.
The California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003
requires the recycling of certain electronics. For more
information on the applicability to this product, see
