Where does Garmin Live Traffic come from?

We obtain our traffic information from a number of sources:

  • Historic traffic data available from all over the world.

  • Real time traffic detected via people using Garmin smartphone apps.

  • Fleet management data and governmental information from our partners.

  • Police and road service information and press updates.

  • The more data we obtain every day, the more accurate our information becomes. All of this data is processed and modelled in our data-centres, before being supplied every 60 seconds to your device.
