Appendix B
Cleaning
The GPS V is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user 
maintenance other than cleaning.  Clean the unit using a cloth dampened with a mild 
detergent solution and then wipe dry.  Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may 
damage plastic components. 
Storage
Storing alkaline batteries in the unit for extended periods is not recommended.  In 
order to reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment and map 
data card slot, remove the batteries when storing the unit for more than six months. 
Water Immersion
The GPS V is waterproof to IEC Standard 529 IPX7.  It can withstand immersion in 
1 meter of water for 30 minutes.  Prolonged submersion can cause damage to the unit. 
After submersion, be certain to remove the batteries and map cartridge and dry the 
compartments before reuse.
To resolve problems that cannot be remedied using this guide, Contact Garmin 
Customer Service at 913/397.8200 or 1-800/800.1020.

is available or not enough data is available to compute a 
DGPS position.

MapSource Information
MapSource City Select CD-ROM Overview
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 specifi cally 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.
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 Certifi cate 
(provided with the City Select CD).  The Certifi cate 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 certifi cate.  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 offi cial 25 digit unlock 
code.
NOTE: This  information will apply to 
you, only if your GPS V contains these 
MapSource products.  Not all GPS V 
product confi gurations include MapSource 
CD-ROMs. For information on Garmin 
MapSource products designed for use in your 
specifi c location, consult the Garmin web site 
(www.garmin.com) or your Garmin Dealer.
