Ricoh Caplio RR530Garmin International today announced the Garmin StreetPilot i5 GPS Navigator, it is pre-loaded with detailed maps of North America which includes the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. It features three buttons on the face of the unit: on/off button, "back" button, and a unique and convenient click-to-enter scroll wheel -- which makes it easy to select a destination from the unit's menu-driven interface. It provides voice prompted, turn-by-turn directions through a built-in speaker, and the unit easily moves from vehicle to vehicle with an integrated suction cup mount. If a driver misses a turn, the Garmin i5 will automatically suggest an alternate route so they can quickly get back on course. The Garmin StreetPilot i5 will be available in October 2005 and for a estimated retail price of $499.

The Garmin StreetPilot i5 comes pre-loaded with City Navigator(R) North America NT, which features full coverage of the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico -- including nearly six million points of interest like gas stations, ATMs, hotels, restaurants, and attractions.
