Garmin's new StreetPilot GPS was the first in the automotive
marketplace to offer a comprehensive mapping system that
was both portable and affordable. The StreetPilot GPs
ColorMap takes up where its sister product left off by boasting
a razor-sharp, high-resolution, 16-color display for easy
map reading. ColorMap works in an auto, truck, or van.
Designed primarily for the automobile, the ColorMap improves
on the StreetPilot's basemap information by adding exit
information for the federal interstate highway system that
lists available services such as food, lodging, and service
stations. It also contains a reference basemap showing Interstate,
U.S., and State highways, plus rivers and lakes in the US,
Canada, and Mexico, with main arterial streets shown in
metropolitan areas. The ColorMap is compatible with Garmin's
complete line of downloadable MapSource®®
CD-ROMs. When paired with the MapSource MetroGuide®
USA CD-ROM, the ColorMap will store 8 to 128 megabytes
of downloaded CD-ROM information at a time depending on
the size of the cartridge you use in the unit.
The ColorMap features a high-performance twelve parallel
channel GPS receiver for quick satellite acquisition and
reliable signal reception, whether you're under dense tree
cover or surrounded by high-rise skyscrapers. Text and graphics
are shown in large type for easy viewing, with a screen
brightness adjustment and a night mode that alters the display
colors for viewing in dim ambient conditions. The unit also
comes with a free cigarette lighter adapter for those times
when you don't have to rely on battery power.
