nuvi 205 comes preloaded with City Navigator NT map data for the contiguous U.S. or one European region or country . 
Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, & nuvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and smooth map redraw rates as you navigate.
Nuvi 205 gps comes in a choice of five colors (black, pink, red, white or blue), and comes with the standard vehicle suction kit (with disc).
The suction cup is nice because it’s small, unobtrusive, and lets you rotate the GPS unit in any direction.
