Manufacturer Description

Introducing the Garmin GPS V. The next leap forward in the GPS II and III Plus range of GPS units.

With the GPS V, you can now have autorouting, which provides access to the shortest and fastest routes, turn-by-turn directions (throughout North America, including major cities), and estimated time of arrival at your intended destination-all packaged in a small handheld GPS and 19MB OF INTERNAL MEMORY. Along the way, the GPS V provides display prompts with audible beeps that alert the driver to necessary turns, distance to upcoming turns, course deviation, and distance to final destination.

The GPS V's built-in, routable basemap provides detail for interstates, interstate exit data (USA only), highways, rivers, and lakes in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, plus commonly used streets in metropolitan areas. With the press of a button, the built-in basemap will provide turn-by-turn guidance to a destination via interstates and highways. With downloaded maps from the City Select CD-ROM (included), the GPS V provides turn-by-turn guidance down to residential street-level detail.

Users can also look up services and points of interest and view the address, phone number, and map location. The MapSource City Select CD-ROM is included with the purchase of the GPS V, along with the unlock code for the entire CD-ROM, and provides you with autorouting capability.
