With HotFix™ satellite prediction, Garmin calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.
'Where Am I?' gives you details about your location in a flash. Simply tap the car icon for your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, nearest address, contact details for your vehicle rescue service and directions to the closest hospital, police or petrol station.
nüvi 205W's advanced Cyclops safety camera database helps you travel with the confidence you are driving safely, responsibly and legally. As you approach one of hundreds of fixed, mobile and temporary safety cameras, variable limit or red light speed cameras across Europe, it gives an audible alert, overspeed warning and speed limit information. nüvi 205WT also comes with Garmin Lock™, an inventive anti-theft protection system that uses GPS to lock to a secure location of your choice.
The nüvi 205WT offers lifetime traffic alerts to provide dependable delay information and keep you aware of jams, accidents and roadworks on your route. These alerts are informed by real-time data from reliable sources including the Highways Agency, police traffic control centres and more than 8000 traffic flow cameras and sensors on motorways and trunk roads across England, Wales and Scotland. This service is broadcast over a national network of FM radio stations to ensure an excellent reception.
Your traffic is always a toggle away. Just flick between your navigation screen and congestion delay information, reassured you will be guided safely to your destination. nüvi 205WT's versatile navigation works with the traffic alerts to report on the tailbacks and suggest a better route around the delay.
nüvi 205W comes with photo navigation to revolutionise your sightseeing. Plan trips to landmarks and attractions simply and easily before you set off. Choose and save location-tagged photographs from millions of Google Panoramio pictures in a wish-list of places to visit. Then, at your leisure, select a photo destination on your Garmin for turn-by-turn directions straight to the scene.
Other built-in travel tools include a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, a currency and measurement converter, calculator and more. Personalise your nuvi 205WT with your choice of background photograph.
nüvi 205WT has a sleek, slim design to fit comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot with up to 4 hours' usage between charges.

Garmin Nuvi 205WT
Reviewed by Robin G. Review Posted 27/01/2009
Nice unit, plugged in and started up with little fuss. Sometimes has funny ideas on the quickest route, but will recalculate swiftly if you deviate from it's recommendations. Traffic picks up quickly and is easy see onscreen. Cameras are identified with a distinctive tone, 30 day free update included. Recommended.
