Map Data Information: One of the goals of Garmin and ASUS is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost.

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.
Avoid Hearing Damage You can permanently damage your ears and lose hearing if you listen to the receiver, earbuds, headphones, or headsets at high volume. Turn the volume down. The volume is typically too loud if you cannot hear people speaking around you. Limit the amount of time you listen at high volume. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked.
