Portable and affordable, the Garmin nuvi 205 automotive gps receiver is your personal travel assistant for life on the go. This navigator leads the way with turn-by-turn directions. It's packed with millions of destinations and maps for the contiguous U.S. or regional sections of Europe. Like the rest of the compact nuvi 2x5-series, the 205 is priced right and ultra-easy to use. The nuvi 205 comes preloaded with City Navigator® NT map data for the contiguous U.S. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nuvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and smooth map redraw rates 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, nuvi 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, nuvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.
Like the rest of the nuvi 2x5-series, nuvi 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. Anti-glare, color touch screen makes it easy to enter your destination. Turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps, auto re-routing and the ability to add your own points of interest make navigating easy. Smooth map redraw makes it easy to follow your progress. Sleek, slim design and rechargeable Li-ion battery for up to four hours of use add convenience. Unit can view jpeg images and includes a world travel clock, currency converter, measurement converter and other helpful features. Includes vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, dashboard disc and manual.
