Garmin GPS V User manual

You’ll be amazed at the accuracy and
level of mapping detail available in this
compact receiver. The GPS V is WAAS
capable, which means it can pinpoint
your location to within three meters on
average. The built-in routable basemap
shows cities, coastlines, interstates and
more. You can also download maps from
the included MapSource™City Select™
CD-ROM for residential street-level detail
plus locations of restaurants, hotels and
more. Look up a location and the GPS V
will automatically calculate a route.
You can even switch the display from
horizontal for mounting on a bike or your
car’s dash to vertical for handheld use.
