Cities
Already stored in your GPS receiver are coordinates for
hundreds of cities throughout the world. You can have the
receiver show you the direction of travel to an individual city or
select the city as a point to be used to navigate along a series of
points in a route.
A city is much larger than the precise location indicated by
the coordinates stored in your GPS receiver. The coordinates
assigned to a city correspond to a location somewhere within
the city’s limits. These coordinates are intended only for
navigation to the city, and not for finding a specific location such
as the downtown, commercial area or geographic center. A
waypoint or point of interest can be used for more precise
navigation within a city.
To assist in your navigation, your GPS receiver is already
programmed with locations of hundreds of worldwide cities;
U.S. state, Canadian provincial and European country boundaries;
and U.S. interstate freeways, highways and exits. With optional
computer software, interface cable and SD Memory Card
(needed for map downloading), you can access a computer
mapping database to transfer in additional mapping information
that includes points of interest, local roads and streets,
intersections and addresses.
