The fastest way to the scene.
Just enter the address of the emergency and the nüvi will get you there. Even if you don’t know the area. Having this affordable little GPS on your dash means no more frantic calls for directions. And no more time lost as you stop to write them down. You can set it for the fastest route. Or the most direct. You can tell it to avoid back roads that might be slow…or highways that might be backed up. And if they are, and you decide on the spot to try another way, your GPS will instantly adjust, and find you the best possible alternate.
In your personal vehicle… or an official one. The Garmin nüvi is priced for personal vehicles. But it will go anywhere. The quick release mount, plug-in cigarette lighter power cord, and rechargeable battery make it easy to switch from your own car or truck to another in seconds, without losing data or power. The internal rechargeable battery will take over when vehicle power isn’t available, providing up to 5 hours of back-up power, for full hand-held portability, even when a call takes you off the road.
Street smart and right on target. No matter how you use it, You can count on the nüvi 205 to get you there on time and in style. This sleek navigator and travel companion comes with preloaded maps for the lower 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico or regional coverage in other areas. Simply touch the color sunlight-readable screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2-D or 3-D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. 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. Fits comfortably in your pocket or purse and its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.
