Optional smart traffic avoidance

nüvi 215 is compatible with Garmin’s smart traffic avoidance. This optional accessory helps you stay aware of jams, accidents and roadworks on your route, with dependable delay information. Garmin’s distinctive, streaming traffic service uses live traffic data from cameras located every two miles along every major route to help you avoid the tailbacks.

Traffic information is always a toggle away. Just flick between your main navigation screen and congestion information while Garmin’s expert navigation works with the traffic alerts to report on the tailbacks while suggesting a better route around the delay.
