Helpful Downloads For The 0100071740:
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.. Like the rest
of the compact nüvi 2x5-series, the 205 is priced right and ultra-easy to use.
Features:
- Navigate With Ease
nüvi 205 comes preloaded with City Navigator® NT map data for the contiguous
U.S.. 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 You
Like 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.
- Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 205 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 205 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.

great so far, although my previous magellean lasted less than 2 yrs so I'm hopeing this garmin lasts longer. Could use miles to destination count down as part of the screen after you enter a route. Nice to know how many more miles total to go. Also could use pick/choice of surface roads or express ways.
easy to use-just what I need.

I don't travel more than a few miles from home usually so I always need help with directions and cannot read a map. This was fairly easy to use and accurate. The only quibble is that I found it a bit difficult to enter an address in a format it would recognize but that may have just been my problem. I am sure it will get easier with more use.
Great for a lady who gets lost often

I used to have another Garmin but my grandson borowed it so often, it was never there when I needed it. I saw this great sale price and thought now is the time to buy one for myself. I would not do without one. [...]

A nice update to the 200. I really like the Where Am I feature and the speed limits that are on this new unit. Would like to see Points of Interest updated; missed several restaurants in a large city.
