Garmin Nuvi 205
Portable and affordable, nüvi 205 is your personal travel assistant for life
on the go. This navigator leads the way with turn-by-turn directions and
optional MSN Direct® services to get you there on time and keep you informed.
It's packed with millions of destinations and maps for the contiguous U.S.,
Canada or regional sections of Europe. Like the rest of the compact nüvi
2x5-series, the 205 is priced right and ultra-easy to use.
Navigate With EaseNuvi 205 comes preloaded with City Navigator® NT map data
for the contiguous U.S., Canada or one European region or country (click
versions tab to view all). Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination,
and nüvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and
smooth map updates as you navigate. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded
contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding
terrain. In addition, nüvi 205 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as
school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of
upcoming POIs. With HotFix satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position
faster to get you there quicker.
Take It With YouLike the rest of the nüvi 2x5-series, nüvi 205 sports a
sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its
rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or
foot. With its "Where Am I?" emergency locator, you always know your location.
Simply tap the screen to get your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the
nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and
fuel stations.
