Garmin GPS V Deluxe Owner's Manual - Page 3

Welcome Thank you for choosing the Garmin GPS V®. The GPS V offers true turn-by-turn navigation through the use of its auto-routing feature. At the touch of a button, you now have access to the shortest and fastest routes, turn directions, and estimated time of arrival at your intended destination. Along the way, GPS V on-screen prompts alert you to necessary turns, distance to upcoming turns, route deviation, and distance to the final destination. The GPS V is compact and portable. The unit can be dash-mounted, and operates on four AA batteries or on your vehicle's battery using the included 12-volt power adapter. The GPS V can be easily viewed in any lighting condition, due to its high resolution, four gray-level display and backlit display/keypad. The unit's built-in basemap provides detail for interstates, interstate exit data, highways, rivers and lakes in the United States, Canada and Mexico (no exit data for Mexico), plus major thoroughfares 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 MapSource® City Select® CD-ROM, your GPS V provides turn-by-turn guidance down to the residential street-level detail.
