Thank you for choosing the Garmin GPS V^®. The GPS V offers true turn-by-turn

Welcome/

Packaging List

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.

Take a moment now to compare the

contents of this package with the packaging

list that appears on the outside of the box. If

any parts are missing, please contact your

Garmin Dealer immediately.

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^®City Select^®CD-ROM, your GPS V provides turn-by-turn

guidance down to the residential street-level detail.

Introduction

WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator

of the GPS V to place and secure the GPS unit so that it will not interfere with the

vehicle operating controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving con-

ditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do not mount

the GPS V over airbag panels or in the ﬁeld of airbag deployment. Airbags expand with

a rapid force that can propel objects in their path towards the vehicle driver or passen-

gers causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle

owner’s manual. Do not mount the GPS V in a place where the driver or passengers

are likely to impact it in an accident or collision. The mounting hardware provided by

Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.

Introduction

Map Data

General Information

One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and

accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination

of governmental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product

literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources

contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside

the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is often not available or

prohibitively expensive.

Due to map accuracy issues, during your travels it is advisable to visually check

your general surroundings and compare them to the on-screen map data. Making such

comparisons on a routine basis will help ensure that you are heading to or arriving at

the intended destination.

The GPS V uses the Global Positioning

System (GPS) in order to ﬁnd your precise

location. GPS consists of a constellation of

24 (or more) satellites, circling the earth

twice a day, at an approximate altitude of

12,000 miles. The satellites transmit very

low power radio signals containing position

and time information, allowing anyone with

a GPS receiver to determine their location

on the earth within 100 meters. For more

detailed information regarding GPS, we have

prepared a booklet called “GPS Guide for

Beginners” which is available

to you from our web site at:

www.garmin.com.

DEFAULT – A system-selected format, built into the operating software or the

unit’s memory, that will be followed unless the user chooses a different setting. For

example, the default setting for speed displays is ‘miles per hour’, but can be changed

to ‘kilometers per hour’. Once a setting is changed, the new setting is retained until

another change is made or a ‘Restore Original Settings’ menu option is selected.

Battery Installation

NOTE: When replacing batteries, use only

new or fully recharged batteries. DO NOT

mix Alkaline, NiCad, NiMH and Lithium

batteries.

Installing the Batteries

Remove the batteries from the GPS V if you

do not plan to use it for several months.

Stored batteries will eventually discharge and

leak, causing damage to your unit.

The GPS V operates on four AA batteries (not included), which are installed from

the left side (when viewed horizontally) of the unit. Alkaline batteries are recom-

mended, but you may use NiCad, NiMH or Lithium batteries as well. Alkaline batteries

will last up to 25 hours in your GPS V. NiCad batteries will typically provide shorter

battery life and Lithium batteries will provide longer battery life, particularly in colder

conditions. Stored data, such as waypoints or unit settings, are not lost when changing

batteries.

Follow the battery manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for proper care and disposal of used

batteries.

During typical use, battery life will be up

to 25 hours. Use of backlighting will reduce

battery life.

To install batteries:

Selecting the “Battery Saver” mode or the

“Use Indoors” option will increase battery life.

1. Remove the battery cover on the left side of

the unit (when viewed horizontally) by turning

the metal D-ring 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the proper

polarity as marked on the battery cover and

shown in the illustration at right.

3. Reinstall the battery cover by turning the D-

ring 1/4 turn clockwise.

The battery icon on the Main Menu depicts

battery level (shaded portion).

Turning the GPS V On (and Off)

Turning On/Off

Before turning the GPS V on, ﬁnd a suitable location for its use. If you are operat-

ing the GPS V indoors, with the “Use Indoors” option, location is not critical. However,

during actual navigation use the GPS V should be outside—or on the dashboard of

your car—where the detachable antenna has a clear view of the sky. Rotate the antenna

so it is pointing upward, perpendicular to the ground.

To turn the GPS V on, press and hold the red POWER key.

The Welcome Page will appear while the unit conducts a self-test. Once testing is

complete, the Welcome Page is replaced by a MapSource Information Page. This page

lists any maps currently loading in the GPS V’s memory. The MapSource Information

Page appears brieﬂy and is replaced by a Warning Page, then the Satellite Status Page.

(You may press ENTER to move quickly past the MapSource Information and/or

Warning Pages.)

The Welcome Page. While this page is being

displayed, the GPS V is conducting a self-test.

Once a sufﬁcient number of satellites have been located, a “Ready to Navigate”

message will appear at the top of the Satellite Status Page. If no keys have been pressed

during the power-up process, the GPS V will automatically sequence from the Satellite

Status Page to the Map Page and show your current position.

To turn the GPS V off, press and hold the red power key.

receiver, whether or not they are being used to

calculate a position ﬁx, and the signal quality.

The sky view depicts an overhead view showing where the GPS V is looking in the

sky for each satellite, by indicating direction (azimuth) and elevation (angle above the

horizon). The outer circle on the sky view represents the horizon, in all directions.

The inner circle represents a 45° elevation above the horizon. Individual satellites are

identiﬁed by number, from 01 to 32.

The hollow bars indicate the GPS V has

found the satellite(s) and is collecting data

before the satellite(s) can be used for naviga-

tion. Solid bars indicate the satellite(s) is

ready to use.

The signal strength bars depict relative signal strength from each satellite being

received. The taller the bar, the stronger the signal. Individual satellites are identiﬁed

by number and correspond to the same satellite number depicted on the sky view.

Receiver Status

Satellite Status Page

Receiver Status is indicated at the top of the Satellite Status Page, directly above the

sky view. The status will be shown as one of the following conditions:

Searching for Satellites—the GPS V is looking for any available satellites in view.

Locating Satellites—the GPS V is initializing and collecting new almanac data.

This process can take up to ﬁve minutes, depending on the satellites currently in view.

Acquiring Satellites—the GPS V is collecting data from available satellites, but has

not collected enough data to calculate a position ﬁx.

2D GPS Location—at least three satellites have been locked onto and a 2-dimen-

sional position ﬁx (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. “2D Differential” will

appear when you are receiving differential corrections in 2D mode.

“Searching for Satellites” may appear when

the GPS V is ﬁrst used. This indicates the

GPS V is looking for any available satellite,

then must update satellite almanac data.

3D GPS Location—at least four satellites have been locked onto, and your posi-

tion is now being calculated in latitude, longitude and altitude. “3D Differential” will

appear when you are receiving differential corrections in 3D mode.

Lost Satellite Reception—the receiver is not tracking enough satellites for a 2D or

3D ﬁx. This is likely due to obstruction of the antenna or limited coverage of satellites

overhead.

Not Usable—the receiver is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or

abnormal satellite conditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset the unit.

“Simulating GPS” means the GPS V is NOT

looking for satellites. Use the simulator mode

to simulate operation when learning to use

the unit, or to save battery power when using

the GPS V to plan a trip or change unit

settings.

Simulating GPS Reception—the unit is in simulator mode and is not receiving

satellite information.

When “2D Navigation” or “3D Navigation” is displayed, the position accuracy appears

directly below the receiver status. Position accuracy is expressed in feet or meters and

reﬂects an estimated error in your current latitude/longitude position reading.

New Elevation—allows you to designate your approximate altitude in order to

better reﬁne a 2D position. By default, 2D positioning will attempt to use the last

known altitude. If the altitude is off by several hundred feet (or more), manually enter-

ing your approximate altitude will enable the receiver to more accurately determine a

position ﬁx.

Satellite Status Page

To enter an elevation:

1. With the Satellite Status Page Options displayed, use the ROCKER KEYPAD to

highlight ‘New Elevation’ and press ENTER.

2. Enter your approximate elevation using the ROCKER KEYPAD, and press ENTER.

If you have moved several hundred miles or

more since you last used the GPS V, letting

the GPS V know your approximate location

will ensure that it is looking for the right

satellites and will speed up satellite acquisi-

tion.

New Location—allows you to designate your approximate position in order to

speed up satellite acquisition. This option is useful if you have relocated 500 or more

miles since the last time you used the GPS V, and ensures that the unit is looking for

the proper satellites.

To enter a new location:

1. With the Satellite Status Page Options displayed, use the ROCKER KEYPAD to

highlight ‘New Location’ and press ENTER. A second pop-up window appears list-

ing two options: ‘Automatic’ and ‘Use Map’.

2. ‘Automatic’ causes the GPS V to search for any available satellite(s) to determine a

position. This process can take 3-5 minutes as the unit determines its new location.

Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select ‘Automatic’ and press ENTER.

3. ‘Use Map’ allows you to designate your approximate position directly from a graphic

map display. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to place the pointer arrow on your approxi-

mate location and press ENTER. You may wish to use the IN/OUT zoom keys to

adjust the level of detail displayed, as you determine your approximate position.

The GPS V features a real-time moving map to illustrate your current position and

your intended route. The Map Page is one of the main operating pages of the GPS V

and you’ll likely use it more than any other page. It graphically shows the area around

your current location, and marks your route to a destination with a bold dark gray

route line. It tells you what direction to go or the direction you are traveling. It also

tells you your speed, the distance to the next turn, and the time and distance to the

ﬁnal destination. If the GPS V has not yet determined your current location, there is a

ﬂashing question mark over the vehicle symbol and the status text displays, “Acquiring

Satellites.”

Use the IN and OUT zoom keys to change

the map scale. The map scale appears in the

lower left corner of the map.

The map display shows your present position and direction of movement using a

triangular vehicle symbol in the center of the map. The map display also shows the

map scale and geographic details such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns. You can

use the IN and OUT keys to change the map scale to show more map area with less

detail, or less map area with more detail. Press and hold either key to zoom the map

scale rapidly. When zoomed in to very small map areas an ‘Accuracy Circle’ will appear

around the vehicle symbol. The accuracy circle graphically portrays the position

accuracy on the map.

Zooming, Panning and Pointing

Map Page

There are three main actions you can perform on the Map Page: zooming, panning

and pointing. The map display has map scales from 20 feet to 800 miles. The current

map scale is indicated on the bottom left corner of the map display.

To change the map scale:

1. Press the IN zoom key to see a smaller area with more detail.

2. Press the OUT zoom key to see a larger area with less detail.

When zoomed in to smaller map areas, ‘overzoom’ appears directly below the map

scale. This indicates the current scale exceeds the optimum resolution of available map

detail. Extra caution should be used in ‘overzoom’ since some detail, such as roads, are

drawn using widely spaced points and the actual layout of these details may differ from

the map presentation. More detailed map features as well as information about those

features can be displayed using map data transferred from the MapSource City Select

CD-ROM. When using MapSource data, the word “MapSource” will appear below the

map scale whenever you zoom in to view map details.

The Map Page showing the panning arrow

and a highlighted map feature or point of

interest.

Panning allows you to move the map in order to view areas beyond the current map

area. This provides a ‘look ahead’ capability which is particularly useful with smaller

map areas. To pan, use the ROCKER KEYPAD to move the map in any direction,

including diagonally.

in the screen above.

As you begin to pan the map, a pointer appears. This map pointer will serve as

a target marker for the map. If you change the scale, the map is redrawn with the

pointer at the center. When the pointer is placed on an object, the name of that object

will be highlighted. (If the name wasn’t originally displayed, it will appear when the

pointer is placed on the object.) This feature applies to everything displayed on the

‘Lock On Road’ causes the triangular present

location symbol to “snap to” the nearest road.

This compensates for any minor errors in

your location reading.

AutoZoom—When ‘On’, this option will automatically adjust the map scale to show

both your current location and the next item you are navigating to.

Lock On Road—When ‘On’, this option will place the triangular vehicle symbol

on the nearest road, rather than at the current GPS-calculated position. Be certain this

option is On while navigating auto-routes and Off when using a direct Goto or point-to

point route.

Direct Goto Line—Selects between a “course” line (from where the Goto was ﬁrst

initiated) to your destination or a “bearing” line that constantly updates to your present

position.

Color Mode—Select between Land (water areas shaded) or Water (land areas

shaded) modes for best viewing conditions.

The ‘Direct Goto Line’ can represent bearing

to your destination (and remain tied to your

present position) or a course line (which

remains ﬁxed at the location where the Goto

was ﬁrst initiated).

Cities—Large cities are those with approximate populations greater than 200,000.

Medium cities are those with approximate populations over 50,000 and small cities

are greater than 5,000. Small towns have approximate populations under 5,000 or an

unknown population size.

Areas—‘Other’ areas includes airports, shopping malls and hospitals.

Marking Your Location as a Waypoint

Waypoints

The GPS V allows you to capture your current location and save it as a “waypoint”.

Use this feature to mark locations you may wish to return to in the future (e.g., parked

car location, trailhead or ﬁshing spot). The GPS V can hold up to 500 Waypoints.

To mark your location as a Waypoint:

1. Press and hold ENTER. The ‘Mark Waypoint’ page appears, with a default three

digit name for the new waypoint at the top portion of the page. The GPS V captures

the location from the instant at which you pressed ENTER, so you do not need

to be concerned about moving, losing satellite reception or any delay while you

change the name or waypoint symbol.

To mark your current location as a waypoint,

press and hold the ENTER key. The Mark

Waypoint Page will appear with your current

position and a pre-assigned waypoint name.

2. You may wish to rename the waypoint or change the symbol, as described below.

Once you’ve made these changes, select the ‘OK’ button to permanently save the

new waypoint in memory.

To rename the Waypoint:

1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the name ﬁeld (top line) and press ENTER.

2. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD and ENTER to enter the new waypoint name, then

select ‘OK’ and press ENTER to save the new name.

Each waypoint may also be assigned a custom waypoint symbol for easy recogni-

tion on the Map Page.

To change the Waypoint symbol:

To change the waypoint name, use the

ROCKER KEYPAD and ENTER to enter a

new name. You can also change the waypoint

symbol.

1. Highlight the Personal Waypoint symbol (immediately to the left of the waypoint

name) and press ENTER. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the desired symbol.

2. Press ENTER when you ﬁnd the most appropriate symbol. The new waypoint is now

stored in memory.

At the bottom of the Mark Waypoint Page there are three on-screen buttons:

Waypoints

Delete—deletes the waypoint.

Goto—Tells the unit that you want to navigate to that waypoint.

Map—Shows the waypoint on the Map Page.

When marking your current location, the GPS V also allows you to average position

samples over time to produce a more accurate position.

To average position samples and save the result as a waypoint:

1. With the Mark Waypoint Page displayed, press MENU.

2. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight ‘Average Location’ and press ENTER.

Use the ‘Average Location’ option to create a

more accurate waypoint location.

Observe the ‘Accuracy’ and ‘Measurement Count’ ﬁgures.

3. When the ‘Accuracy’ and/or ‘Measurement Count’ ﬁgures reach the desired value(s),

highlight ‘Save’ and press ENTER. (To cancel the averaging function, highlight

‘Discard’ and press ENTER.)

4. Follow the steps on the previous page, if desired, to rename the waypoint or change

the waypoint symbol.

Waypoints can be created by referencing another location. By entering a bearing

and distance from the reference location (present position or a stored waypoint), the

GPS V “projects” the location and saves the new location as a “projected waypoint”.

To create a projected waypoint by referencing another waypoint:

Main Menu: Tracks

The Route functions of the GPS V are described on pages 33-39 of this manual.

Main Menu: Tracks

The GPS V draws an electronic breadcrumb trail on the Map Page as you travel

along. This breadcrumb trail is referred to as a “track log”. A track log contains infor-

mation about points along its path, including time and position. The GPS V can use

this information to allow you to retrace your path, in either direction. The ‘TracBack’

feature allows you to retrace your path without having to manually mark waypoints

along the way.

A track log is an electronic “bread crumb”

trail showing where you have been. A track

log can be displayed on the Map Page.

Track logs can be saved in memory for later use. The GPS V has memory for ten

saved track logs.

With the track log feature turned on, track logs are automatically recorded as soon

as the GPS V is turned on and has determined its position. To be certain that the ‘Trac-

Back’ feature will return you to the desired point, you should clear the track log before

your begin traveling. The percentage of memory used in the current log is displayed

on the Saved Tracks Page, along with ‘On’, ‘Off’, ‘Clear’ and ‘Save’ on-screen buttons.

When available memory is ﬁlled, track log data will continue to be saved, but will

overwrite the oldest track data already saved. To avoid losing track data, monitor the

available memory periodically and save the track log before it reaches 100%.

Use the Saved Tracks Page to monitor avail-

able track memory, clear the track log, save

tracks or view a list of saved tracks.

You can set the track log recording interval to ‘Distance’, ‘Time’ or ‘Auto’. With

‘Distance’ or ‘Time’ selected, you can specify the distance or time value between track

log recording points.

Main Menu: Setup

Off Road—This setting creates a direct-line route from your current location to

your destination. This may be useful outside the detailed map coverage areas.

The GPS V can prompt you for a routing preference each time you create a route,

or you can set the preference on the Routing Setup Page and set ‘Ask Me Preference’ to

‘No’.

You can also control how thoroughly the GPS V searches for the perfect route.

There is a trade-off between the length of time is takes to ﬁnd a route and the quality

of that route (i.e., how close will the GPS V’s route be to the ideal route). The following

options are available:

The ‘Calculation Method’ determines how

thoroughly the GPS V searches through the

map data for the perfect route. The better

the routing search the longer it will take to

calculate.

Quickest Calculation—This provides the fastest results, minimizing the time you

have to wait.

Best Route—This provides the best route, but will take longer to calculate.

Better Route or Quick Calculation—These are compromise settings with emphasis

on either route quality or time, respectively.

The ‘Calculate Routes for’ setting allows the GPS V to take full advantage of the City

Select Maps. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions associated with them (e.g., no

commercial truck trafﬁc, no pedestrians or no bicycles). By specifying the vehicle type,

you can avoid being routed somewhere you cannot legally go. Likewise, some settings

(e.g., ‘Emergency’) will give you access to roads or turns that wouldn’t be available to

normal trafﬁc.

MapSource City Select CD-ROM Overview

MapSource Information

CD-ROMs containing all U.S. and Canadian detailed coverage areas (DCAs) are

included with your GPS V. The MapSource City Select CD is designed speciﬁcally for

the GPS V and contains detailed street maps for major cities. This mapping software

allows for automatic routing and also contains turn restrictions and other routing infor-

mation. By simply entering an address, intersection or pointing at the map, the GPS

V will automatically plan a route and provide turn-by-turn directions to that location.

You can also look up services or points of interest and view the address, phone number

and map location. Be aware that not all areas are covered in detail by the City Select

CD. But to get detailed, street-level routing for major cities, you need to download

maps from the City Select CD. Please refer to the MapSource manual for more informa-

tion on downloading maps.

NOTE: This information will apply to

you, only if your GPS V contains these

MapSource products. Not all GPS V

product conﬁgurations include MapSource

CD-ROMs. For information on Garmin

MapSource products designed for use in your

speciﬁc location, consult the Garmin web site

(www.garmin.com) or your Garmin Dealer.

The GPS V will also work with MapSource Roads & Recreation, City Navigator,

WorldMap, Topo, U.S. Waterways & Lights, Points of Interest, Fishing Hot Spots

(requires unlock) and MetroGuide CD, but these products (all but MetroGuide USA CD

version 4.01 or higher) will not provide detailed automatic routing. If you’re using GPS

V without downloaded maps from the City Select CD, you’ll still have automatic rout-

ing capabilities along major streets and highways contained in the built-in “basemap”.

Unlock Codes

The data on the City Select CD is protected by unlock codes. Before you can down-

load maps from a detailed coverage area, you’ll need to “unlock” that region. Additional

instructions for completing these steps are printed on the MapSource Unlock Certiﬁcate

(provided with the City Select CD). The Certiﬁcate directs you to the Garmin web site,

where you’ll enter your personal information, the Unit ID number from your GPS V (refer

to page 56 and the Setup Guide), and the code contained on the certiﬁcate. From the

web site, you’ll also select a coverage area and see which cities are included. After you’ve

completed the information, the web site will provide your ofﬁcial 25 digit unlock code.
