Understanding Garmin Online

Use Garmin Online to download free, location-relevant information such as fuel prices and hotels.com® rates (U.S. only), live weather data, and traffic data. You can also download safety camera information (Europe only) as a paid service. Not all services are available in all areas.

Your Garmin Online account is activated automatically on most phones. If you need to activate your account manually, use the subscription status page.

By default, the application prompts you when attempting to connect to Garmin Online. You can change this setting by selecting (Menu >) Settings > Garmin Online. See Garmin Online Settings for more information.

You may occasionally receive messages from the Garmin Online server, which are indicated by the server message icon at the top of the main page. Select the icon to view the message.

Your phone must have an internet connection to access Garmin Online. Most Garmin Online data is free, but your phone's regular internet and data transfer charges apply.
