Not only did they add these top of the line features but they also made some major improvements with this garmin nuvi 205 portable gps navigator. Let's get started and start listing all the great improvements.

Improved Interface

This one improvement has many customers jumping for joy. For starters the new interface displays distance to and direction of your next turn, name of the road you need to turn onto, the estimated time of arrival, your current speed and speed limits. To top it all off, you simply enter in a destination and the garmin nuvi 205 portable gps navigator will take you there with turn by turn voice directions. Now you can pay more attention to the road.

Satellite Ephemeris Data Prediction

This hotfix allows the garmin gps navigator to remember the position of all satellites it is tracking when the device is turned off. It also calculates their movements so it predict where they should be the next time you use your garmin gps navigator device. This enables the device to locate the satellites much quicker which allows you to start navigating much faster.

Navigate by Photo

You can use pictures as your navigation guide by downloading pictures to your garmin nuvi 205 from garmin connect photos. This service is provided by Google's panoramio photo sharing community.

3D Terrain Maps

These maps are shaded and show you when to expect hills, mountains and other natural features. These maps are also viewable using the 2D birds eye view.

Faster 333 Mhz Processor

This faster processor allows for smoother map drawing and vehicle icon motion through turns. This new feature makes for a more enjoyable navigation experience.

Send Addresses Directly To Your GPS device from Google Maps or Mapquest

If you hook up your garmin gps device to your usb port on your computer, then search for locations and transfer the address directly to your gps navigation device. This new feature requires a small plug in which you can get a garmin's website.

Other new features are an automatic time zone transition and the ability to add dynamic MSN traffic and content with an optional receiver.

As you can see garmin has made their gps portable navigation devices even better so the user can have a very easy time getting to their destinations in a safe and timely manor. Garmin is one leaders in producing top quality gps products.
