Garmin Nuvi 205W
Portable, affordable and wide, nüvi 205W 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 sleek nüvi
2x5-series, the 205W is priced right and ultra-easy to use.
See MoreWith nüvi 205W's widescreen display, you'll always get the big
picture. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in bright,
brilliant color. Its sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is easy to read — from
any direction.
Navigate With Easenüvi 205W 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
205W 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 205W 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.
Go Beyond NavigationNavigation is just the beginning. nüvi 205W includes many travel tools including
JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter,
measurement converter, calculator and more. With photo navigation, you can
download Google™ Panoramio™ pictures via our Garmin Connect Photos website and
navigate to them. The 205W is compatible with optional enhanced MSN® Direct
content and our free Garmin Garage where you can download animated vehicles that
show your location on the map. It also comes with Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft
feature. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD cards such
as Garmin Travel Guides for detailed data on attractions.
