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 fi nal destination.
The GPS V is compact and portable. The unit can be dash-mounted, and oper-
ates 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 base-
map 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
