Using a Backup Camera

Using a Dead Reckoning (DR) cable (available from Garmin), you can connect a composite backup camera to the StreetPilot. Each time you put your vehicle in reverse, the camera shows what is behind you. You must have the DR cable installed by a professional. See pages 5354 for more information. Mount the camera according to the instructions from the manufacturer. Reverse Light Polarityselect High or Low. Contact the vehicle manufacturer for polarity or check with a voltmeter. Set to High (most common) if a positive, high voltage is detected when the reverse lights are illuminated. Set to Low if no voltage or low voltage is detected when the reverse lights are illuminated. View Sourcewhen the backup camera is connected to the StreetPilot, touch View Source to view the camera.

Adjusting the Video Settings
From the Menu page, touch Settings > General > Video Input. Input TypeSelect Backup Camera and touch Done. Reverse Responseset to Auto or Prompt.
Caution: Do not rely solely on a backup camera connected to the A/V Input when operating your vehicle. A backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the entire rear area of a vehicle.

FM Transmitter Tips

The FM transmitter is intended to transmit your StreetPilots audio to your car stereos antenna. Do not adjust your FM settings while you are driving your vehicle. When searching for an appropriate FM frequency on your vehicles radio, look for an unused frequency that has steady, consistent static. If you hear slight noises and sounds in the background of the static, choose a different frequency. Touch Test to play a sample audio output over your vehicles stereo. If the sound is not to your liking, try a different frequency and touch Test again. As you travel, you might need to change the frequency for the FM transmitter. A frequency not used by a radio station in your area might be used by a station elsewhere.
As you drive, you may notice changes in the background static even though there is no FM station using that channel. You may notice this as you drive through intersections where certain kinds of traffic lights or other municipal electronic systems are operating. You might also notice this effect when the terrain changes, allowing distant stations to be received by your car stereo that were not received when you made your initial frequency selection. These and other sources of electrical interference may make it necessary to look for another frequency. The distance between the 12-Volt adapter, the StreetPilot, and the vehicle antenna may also affect the noise level. Vehicles with antennas located far away, such as a rear-mounted antenna, may experience more interference from outside noise sources than vehicles with front-mounted antennas.

Traffic Information

Using an FM Traffic Receiver or an XM Smart Antenna, your StreetPilot 7200/7500 can receive and use traffic information. When a traffic message is received, your StreetPilot displays the event on the map and can change your route to avoid the traffic incident. For more information about the FM Traffic Receiver or XM Smart Antenna, visit the Garmin Web site (www.garmin.com). For participating FM subscription providers and covered cities, refer to www.garmin.com /fmtraffic. For coverage cities (North America only) for XM NavTraffic, see www.xmnavtraffic.com.

DR Cable Wiring

The Dead Reckoning (DR) cable is used by the 7500 to provide dead reckoning, which allows the 7500 to continue to get navigation guidance even if it loses GPS reception. The DR cable is also needed for both the 7200 and 7500 to use a backup camera. The DR cable must be installed to the Reverse Light Switch. For information about configuring the backup camera, see page 34. The DR cable connections must be installed by a Garmin-authorized, licensed installer. WARNING: The terms of the Garmin Warranty require that the DR (Dead Reckoning) cable with bare wire leads be installed by Garmin-authorized, licensed installers.
