The GPS V is one versatile navigator that delivers automatic
routing, detailed mapping and WAAS capability — all in a compact handheld GPS.
It comes with the MapSource® City Select CD, which gives you access to detailed
street-level maps with locations of restaurants, hotels and other services. Use
the GPS V to look up a location and it will automatically calculate a route and
guide you to your destination with turn-by-turn directions and audible beeps
that alert you to upcoming turns. You can even switch the display from
