With 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 Ease
nüvi 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 You
Like 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 Navigation
Navigation 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 (subscription and receiver required) 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.
