Manual Conventions
Introduction
•
This manual refers to the StreetPilot as a “StreetPilot,” “unit,” or “GPS receiver.” It makes no
distinction between these terms. “StreetPilot” refers to both the 2610 and 2650 models unless
specifically stated.
This manual uses the term “Map page” when referring to pages that have maps. In all other instances,
the terms “page,” “screen,” and “window” are used interchangeably.
PRaCTICe uSING The STReeTPILoT
WhILe IN SIMuLaToR Mode
•
•
•
This manual uses the words “button” and “key” interchangeably.
This manual uses the term “press” when you need to activate the keys on the StreetPilot or on the
remote control.
•
•
Although you can either touch the screen to activate commands or use the remote control, most
instructions in this manual assume that you are using the touchscreen.
This manual uses “touch” and “select” interchangeably. When asked to touch or select an icon or tab,
simply tap the icon or tab with your finger. Or, press in on the thumb stick that is located on your
remote control. Practice using the remote control unit to improve your accuracy when activating
commands. See page 4 to learn how to use it.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the routing
features of the StreetPilot by practicing creating
routes in simulator mode.
Simulator mode only works when the GPS naviga-
tion is turned off. To do this, press the MENU key
on the StreetPilot. A Menu page will appear. Select
the ‘Use Indoors’ icon. GPS will be turned off. Now,
when you create a route, the unit will ask if you
want to simulate driving the route. Select Yes, and
the StreetPilot will give driving instructions for the
entire route.
oPeRaTe youR STReeTPILoT IN “SaFe Mode” WhILe dRIvING
Your StreetPilot is equipped with a ‘Safe Mode’
feature to improve driver safety. By default, this fea-
ture is enabled, but it can be turned off to allow a
passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle is
moving, Safe Mode disables certain StreetPilot func-
tions which require significant operator attention
and may become a distraction to use while driving.
NoTe: If you have previously registered a Garmin product purchase, we invite you to re-reg-
ister using our online system. Many services provided by our new product registration system
are now being automated and re-registering your purchase ensures you the best possible
support from Garmin.

Caring for your StreetPilot
Introduction
Cleaning the Case and Remote Control
The StreetPilot 2610/2650 case and remote are constructed of high quality materials and do not require
user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the touchscreen) using a
cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents
that may damage plastic components.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Touchscreen
The StreetPilot 2610/2650 touchscreen is intended primarily for finger operation. Although a PDA stylus
may also be used to operate touchscreen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or
sharp object to operate the touchscreen or damage may result. The touchscreen should be cleaned using a
soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If these are
used, apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touchscreen with the moistened cloth.
Storage
Do not store the StreetPilot 2610/2650 where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur
(such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result. User information such as waypoints and
routes are retained in the unit’s memory without the need for external power. Back up important user data
by manually recording it or downloading it to a PC (transferring it to MapSource).
Storing alkaline batteries in the remote control for extended periods is not recommended. In order to
reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment, remove the batteries when storing the
remote control for more than six months.

Learning how to use the Map Page
Reference
The Map page is your StreetPilot’s main operating page. This page is the first image you see after the
startup screens, and it’s what you view as you navigate to a destination. Many features make up the Map
page. Whether you’re navigating a route or simply driving with your StreetPilot turned on, you will see
a map that displays your current location as well as surrounding street detail. Additionally, depending
on your current driving mode, tabs that appear on the Map page will provide such information as your
current speed, your driving direction, and names of upcoming streets. You can look beyond your current
position by “panning,” or moving around the Map page. You can also zoom into locations to view greater
street detail or you can zoom out to see what’s ahead on your route.
using the Map Page
NoTe: Your StreetPilot unit cannot
acquire satellites from inside a build-
ing. Thus, you may want to consider
setting your unit to ‘Use Indoor’
status. To do this, press the MENU
key on your unit. You will see a Menu
page that includes a variety of setup
options. Select the Use Indoors icon.
This section shows the many types of Map page views as well as how to use the features on the Map page.
Practice using these features before navigating an actual route so that you can quickly understand what
you are seeing on the Map page and thus limit time looking away from the road while driving.
Viewing the Map Page for the First Time
When you turn on your StreetPilot for the first time, you see a map image as well as a tab which shows
that the StreetPilot is attempting to locate satellites. Once your StreetPilot locates the satellites, it
establishes a “fix” on your location. It is then ready to navigate and you are ready to begin.
Touch the screen anywhere with your finger and move it
around to view a variety of locations on your StreetPilot.
Once the satellites have been acquired, your
StreetPilot is ready to navigate.
When you turn on your StreetPilot, it searches for
satellites.

with your finger and moving the map, is to use the thumb
stick on your remote control.
The white arrow at the top of the map tools bar allows you to toggle between activating and hiding the map
tools bar. The zoom icons feature a “+” magnifying glass that allows you to zoom in to an area on your Map
page, and a “-” magnifying glass that lets you zoom out of an area. The panning hand allows you to move
around the Map page by touching the screen (touchscreen) with your finger; this action is called “panning.”
Panning allows you to “move” the viewing area on the Map page in order to view areas beyond the displayed

a specific location or object if any is available. The black triangle, or “vehicle icon,” shows your
current physical location on the Map page. While in panning mode, the data tabs on the right of the
screen are hidden.

‘North up’ versus ‘Track up’
In addition to zooming in to or out of the Map page, you can also define a particular area to enlarge
on the Map page by drawing a “box” on the touchscreen, then lifting your finger from the screen.
Before you can do this, make certain the boxed magnifying glass icon is showing at the bottom of
the map tools bar, as shown in the diagram below. If the map tools bar displays a hand, simply touch
the hand and the boxed magnifying glass icon will appear.

Reference
Map Scale
using the Map Scale
A map scale appears on the lower left of the Map page. It shows you the current zoom level showing on
the Map page (such as 500 miles, .8 miles, or 200 feet) as well as what map your StreetPilot is using to
create the current image. Your StreetPilot uses either a “base map” or a “detail map.” The base map is a
built-in map that provides only general information such as city names and highway exits. The detail map
includes information that you transferred from the City Navigator to the CF card in your StreetPilot (see
the setup information on page iv). It features specific details such as addresses, businesses, parks, and other
points of interest. Thus, if you are viewing Denver at a map scale of 800 feet, your StreetPilot will display
information from its base map. If you have transferred Denver map data from the City Navigator CD-ROM
to your StreetPilot, the map scale will switch from “base map” to “detail map” as you continue to zoom in to

Information Icon “i”
Reference
As was discussed earlier in this section, you can pan across the Map page by using the touchscreen with
your finger or by using your remote control. As you pan, the map pointer appears. It serves as a target
marker for the map. If you change the scale, the map is redrawn with the pointer at the center. When the
pointer is placed on a map object, the name of that object is highlighted and an “i” (Information) icon
appears in the upper right corner.
Information Icon
When the “i” icon appears, touch it and informa-
tion about the object or location to which your are
pointing will appear.
The Map page shows the panning arrow (circled)
which is highlighting a point of interest.
When multiple Points of Interest appear at one point
(shown above) a selection list will display (shown
below).
In the example above, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis has been
highlighted. Touch the “i” icon, and the information page at right
appears. The page displays information about the Gateway Arch as
well as feature options.

Viewing the Map Page While Driving
Reference
Map Pages in Driving and Routing Mode
While driving, you will see one of two types of Map pages: a Map page in “driving” mode, which appears
when you have the StreetPilot turned on but you are not navigating a route, and a Map page in “routing”
mode, which appears when you have created a route and are currently navigating to it.
viewing the Map Page
In driving mode, the Map page shows map details, the map scale, and your current location. Customizable
data tabs are pre-set to show your speed, current direction of travel, address of your current position, and
the name of the next road ahead.
Your current speed
Map Orientation
Current driving direction
Your Current Position
Map page in driving mode
Street address at your current location

In routing mode, the Map page displays more information. It graphically shows you map details and your
current location, and it marks your route to a destination with a magenta-colored route line. It tells you
what direction to go as well as the direction in which you are traveling. Customizable data tabs are pre-set
to display information such as your speed, the distance you have traveled, distance to the next turn, time
remaining before reaching the next turn, and more.
Map page in routing mode
Although the information varies slightly between a
Map page in driving mode and one in routing mode,
you can use the features discussed in this section for
both Map page types. Note that the Next Turn page
and Current Route pages only appear when you are in
routing mode.

Both types of Map pages display a vehicle icon which indicates your present position and direction of
movement as a triangular icon in the center of the map. Depending upon your map scale setting, you can
see a variety of geographic detail such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns.
Reference
If you would like to see more detail at your current driving position, or if you would like to see a broader
view of the area, you can change the Map scale to zoom in to or out of your current position as the Map
page continues to follow the vehicle icon. Simply touch the map scale and the map tools bar will appear.
Use the zoom icons (+ or - magnifying glasses) to select your new detail level. To return to the previous
page, simply touch the white arrow at the top of the map tools bar. Note that you can use this feature
whether you are in driving or in routing mode.
viewing the Map Page
For maximum map display, hide some or all of the data
tabs. Simply touch the tab to make it disappear.
Touch the map scale to activate the map tools
bar and hide the data tabs.
Use the zoom icons to view a new level of detail. Touch
the arrow to return to the Map page in routing mode.
In the example above, your current driving position always appears on the Map page. Another StreetPilot
feature allows you to “look ahead” on the Map page so that you can view areas beyond your current
position, but without interrupting the function of the Map page. Simply touch any area on the Map page
EXCEPT for the map scale. As in the example above, the map tools bar will appear. The differences are that
the map pointer will also appear on the Map page, and the Map page itself will stay stationary until you
move (pan) the Map page. The vehicle icon will continue to move along your route, but you will be able to
move beyond your current position as you pan.
As shown above, the Map page viewing area is
greater with the data tabs hidden. Touch the tab
placeholders to show the tabs again.
See page 42 for more information on hiding/
showing data tabs.

Next Turn Page
Touch anywhere on the Map page (except the map
scale) to activate the map tools bar and map pointer,
and hide the data tabs.
Touch the arrow to return to the previous Map page.
Use this feature whether you are simply driving with your StreetPilot turned on (driving Map page) or
navigating a route (routing Map page). To return to the Map page with the original navigation so that you
can see the vehicle icon, touch the arrow in the top left corner.
Your StreetPilot safely navigates you through roundabouts,
interstate traffic, and all other types of road navigation.
Next Turn Page
The NexT TuRN page announces the same instructions
As you are driving during an active route, the Map page continues to display in routing mode until your
StreetPilot alerts you that you are near a turn. When this happens, a Next Turn page appears. It provides a
graphic visual and gives text instructions, as shown below:
for an upcoming turn 3 times:
· Immediately after you make a turn, the Next Turn
page announces the next upcoming turn, as well as
the distance to that turn. Thus, if the next turn is not
for 20 miles, you do not need to worry about naviga-
tion instructions for quite a while.
· As you are close to approaching the upcoming turn,
the Next Turn page appears again. This message is
announced in order to alert you to change lanes if
necessary and start looking for signs in anticipation
of the upcoming turn.
Route Line
An upcoming turn is placed here. This screen dis-
appears after a few seconds. If you need to see it
again, simply press SPEAK and it will reappear.
Shows how many miles until you reach the
upcoming turn.
· Just before the upcoming turn, the Next Turn page
appears one last time for that particular turn. You
should be in view of the turn.
Shows the approximate time left until you reach
the upcoming turn.

An added bonus to the Next Turn feature is that the StreetPilot “voice” announces upcoming turns. Thus, if
you cannot safely view the Next Turn page, you can hear the directions.
Reference
The Next Turn page above disappears after a few seconds and then the page which you were previously
viewing will reappear. If you wish to clear the Next Turn page and return to the previous page, press
PAGE (you can also press QUIT on the remote). If you wish to see the Next Turn page again, simply press
SPEAK and it will reappear. You will also be able to hear the announcement.
Current Route Page
When you are not navigating a route, the Next Turn page is no longer available.
Current Route Page
Still another bonus while navigating a route is the Current Route page, which provides step-by-step route
instructions, all on one page. Simply press PAGE from your StreetPilot (or from the remote control) and
the Current Route page appears:
The Current Route page keeps a log of your entire
route. It keeps the directions even when you have
completed the turn.
Scroll bar
The bottom number gives the approximate time that you should
reach the next turn.
When you are not navigating a route, the Current
Route page is no longer available.
The top number shows how much time (in minutes or in hours) until
the next turn.
The text column explains the upcoming driving instructions.
The numbered column shows how many miles until the next turn.
Direction of turn
The Current Route page keeps a log of your entire route. Thus, you can look beyond the next turn and
even get an estimated idea of what time you will reach an upcoming turn provided you don’t make stops
along the way.
You can scroll through the entire list by moving the scroll bar up or down. Highlight and touch any of the
turns on the list to view the Next Turn page for that turn.

Trip Information Page
Reference
While navigating a route, you can access yet another page, the Trip Information page. If you are making
a long trip, you may find the Trip Information page to be very useful. It indicates your current speed and
many helpful statistics about your trip.
Trip Information Page
Be certain to reset the Trip Computer before beginning a trip (see next page). If you make frequent stops,
leave the StreetPilot powered on in order to receive satellites. This allows the unit to accurately measure
elapsed time during the trip. Note, however, that this might be impossible since some vehicles disconnect
power to the cigarette lighter when the ignition is turned off.
The following trip information is displayed on the Trip Information page:
Time of Day – Current time. This appears at the top left-hand side of the page.
Compass Ribbon – Shows your current compass heading while moving with a red indicator arrow.
Speed – This is the current vehicle speed, displayed in miles or kilometers per hour.
Access the Trip Information page anytime during an
active route by pressing PAGE on your StreetPilot.
Odometer – A running total of distance traveled, based upon the distance between second-by-second
location readings, since the Trip Computer was last reset.
Mileage Log – Allows you to use up to four different mileage odometers for recording trip distances. You
can also rename each mileage log (see next page).
Driving Avg – Your average speed of travel during the time the vehicle has been in motion since the Trip
Computer was last reset.
Overall Avg – Your average speed of travel (including time stopped) during the time the StreetPilot has
been tracking your location since, the Trip Computer was last reset.
Select from different Mileage Logs.
Max Speed
–

driving with dead Reckoning (2650 only)
The StreetPilot 2650 comes with dead reckoning capabilities, which means that you continue to get
navigation guidance even if you lose GPS reception, such as when you are travelling in dense urban
environments with tall buildings and tunnels.
Reference
driving with dead Reckoning
To achieve dead reckoning, the 2650 utilizes an internal angular rate sensor, an external speed sensor
input, and an external reverse light sensor input. A special dead reckoning cable is connected to your
vehicle’s speedometer and backup lights (it must be professionally installed by an authorized Garmin
installer). Thus, when you lose GPS reception, your StreetPilot can acknowledge your turns as well as your
distance travelled while you are driving. In this way, it can continue to accurately give navigation guidance
until your GPS reception returns. Driving with dead reckoning capabilities is so seamless, you will not
even know that you do not have GPS reception.
You can simply unplug the dead reckoning cable from the vehicle adapter if you want to use the StreetPilot
2650 in another vehicle. It will navigate the same way as the StreetPilot 2610.
The only way you can tell that your StreetPilot is using
Dead Reckoning is to view the GPS Information page.
See page 56 for more information on GPS.

Finding a City
Select the Cities icon from the Find menu. A list of cities will appear, as well as each city’s direction and
distance from your current position as indicated by the Near Here tab. Use the scroll bar on the right side
of the page to view the entire list of cities. The Near Here tab lists cities that are closest to your current
physical location or, if you have panned to an area away from your current location, to your map pointer.
You can find cities in many ways. Touch the down arrow (▼) on the Near Here tab and you will see a
variety of options. (Note that these options appear depending upon whether you are currently navigating a
route or panning your Map page).
Access this menu by selecting FIND on your
StreetPilot unit or remote. Use the scroll bar to see
the third line of options, which are not shown above.
•
By Name: Use By Name if you want to spell out the name of the city you seek; use the mini
keyboard that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all city names
that are loaded in your mapping software will be searched. For example, if you are searching for
Greensboro, N.C., your search (using By Name) will return a list of all Greensboros in the U.S.
Near Other: Use Near Other to find a city that is not in your immediate location. For example, of
you are physically in Kansas and you want to find a city in Colorado, select Near Other and a map
of the U.S. will appear. Touch an area in Colorado that is close to the city you wish to identity, and
then touch the check mark that appears in the upper right-hand corner of your Map page. A new list
of cities in Colorado will appear. (Note that when the list of cities appears, the tab will change from
Near Other to Near Map Pointer. This is because the StreetPilot is searching for cities that are located
near the current position of your map pointer, not your current physical location.)

Finding Interesting Places to Eat, Sleep, Shop, and Visit
Reference
A fun feature of your StreetPilot is being able to locate interesting and exciting places all over the U.S.
without having to ask for directions to get there. If you are new to a town and you need to find a bank or
car wash, touch the Services icon from the Find menu. If you are driving through town on vacation and you
want to stop and eat, touch the Food & Drink icon. If you are planning a camping trip in North Carolina
and want to find campgrounds that are nearest to the Outer Banks, touch the Lodging icon.
Finding Places
You can use the following icons (options) when you want to search for businesses, parks, and other points
of interest: Food & Drink, Lodging, Services, Entertainment, Attractions, Shopping, Transportation, and
Emergency & Government. All of these options are subgroups of the All Points of Interest option, which
returns the largest list of places. Your StreetPilot searches for places the same way for all options listed
above.
Assume, for example, that you are currently navigating a route from Kansas City to St. Louis. As you are
driving along the Interstate, you decide that you want to look for a place to eat along the route. To do this,
press the unit’s FIND key, and then select the Food & Drink icon from the Find menu. A list of places to eat
that are along your entire route from Kansas City to St. Louis (and within a 1/2 mile corridor width of any
point on your route) will appear under the Near Current Route tab. The list displays places that are located
ahead of or a short distance behind you. This is useful information if you are in a part of the country where
eating places are sparse; you can see how many miles away the nearest restaurant is on your route. You
may have to backtrack if you discover that you just passed the nearest restaurant for many miles. Or, you
can view the list to see if your favorite restaurant happens to be located on or near your route, and how far
away it is. To reduce the number of results, use the Filter tab to type in the entire name or part of the name
of the restaurant.
While navigating a route, select Food & Drink from
the Find menu to view a list of eating places near your
current position. The Near Current Route tab will display
places that are located along your entire route.
To adjust how
far off-route your
StreetPilot will
search, press the
unit’s MENU key
and select Search
Within.
If your search does not reveal very many restaurants because you are in a sparsely-populated area, consider
widening the search area (corridor width) along your route. From the list of places that appeared under
the Near Current Route tab, press the unit’s MENU key. From the Menu page that appears, select the Search
Within icon. You can then elect to expand your search for restaurants that are up to 1, 2, 5, or 15 miles
along your current route. A new list will appear.

Near Here: Whereas Near Current Route lists places along your entire route, Near Here finds places
that are near your current physical location.
•
Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] to find places that are located at the end of your route.

your mapping software will be searched. For example, if you are searching for McDonald’s, your
search will return a list of all McDonald’s in the U.S.
Once you locate the exit of your choice, select it to
display an information page for that item.

used), touch the name of the restaurant and its address and telephone number will appear. Touch the green
flag in the lower left-hand side of the screen if you want to mark the eatery as a waypoint, or Show Map if
you want to see it on the Map page (see page 10 for an example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to
navigate to the restaurant.
This particular exit indicates that many services exist.
Touch the icon to view information about a service.
Finding an Exit
Select Exits from the Find menu to locate exits on highways, freeways, and interstates throughout the U.S.
This is useful information if you are travelling and need to stop at an exit with a service station or when
you need to find the nearest rest area. When you initially select Exits, your StreetPilot lists all exits on
the highway or interstate that are closest to your current location. If you are driving on Interstate 40 near
Albuquerque, for example, your StreetPilot will list all upcoming exits on I-40. Use the scroll bar on the
right side of the screen to select an exit.
Change the highway or interstate by selecting the
‘On I-35’ tab and selecting Change Highway.

Planning a Trip
Reference
As you have discovered while reading this section, you can search for places by using a variety of “find”
methods. If you are planning a trip and would like to find lodging, restaurants, and interesting places ahead
of time, consider using the “chain find” method below. (Note: Follow these instructions while you are in a
stationary position and are not in “routing” mode.)
Finding Places
1. Find the city which you plan to visit. See ‘Finding a City’ in this section of this manual for more instructions if necessary. Touch
the name of the city so that the information about it will appear. In our example, Fraser, CO is chosen.
2. While still on the information page for Fraser, press your StreetPilot’s FIND
key and select the Lodging icon to look for a place to stay in Fraser. Your
StreetPilot will return the names of places to lodge. Touch the name of your
desired lodging place to view the information page about it and so that the
lodge will be saved in your Recent Finds list. In our example, Angelmark Bed
Fraser, CO information page
Lodging in Fraser
and Breakfast is the lodging place.
3. From the information page for Angelmark Bed and Breakfast, press the FIND
key and select the Food & Drink icon. A list of all eating establishments near
Angelmark Bed and Breakfast will display. Touch the name of your desired
eating place to view the information page about it and so that the restaurant
will be saved in your Recent Finds list.
You can also find entertainment, services, and a host of other places
near your chosen lodging area in the city of your choice. When you are
ready to take your trip, simply find these places in your Recent Finds
list, discussed on the next page.

Finding “Recently-Found” Places
Reference
Your StreetPilot keeps track of the places you find and stores the 30 most recent finds in its memory. Thus,
if you want to create a route to a place you have recently found, touch Recent Finds from the Find menu.
Or, press down and hold the FIND key on your StreetPilot or remote control.
Finding “Recently-Found” Places
Your 30 most recent finds will appear. The most recently-reviewed item will be at the top of each list. If
you cannot find your sought-after place quickly, touch the All tab and narrow your search by selecting
Points of Interest, Addresses & Intersections, or Other. If necessary, scroll down the new list to find your place.
Note that the StreetPilot only stores places that you actually view. Let’s say, for example, that you do a
search for restaurants and five names appear. If you view information on two of them, then these two
restaurants will be stored in your Recent Finds list.
Deleting “Recently-Found” Places
Recent finds above display the places we found
in the Planning a Trip tutorial on the previous
page.
If you wish to delete a place from the Recent Finds list, simply
touch the place’s name and an information page for that place will
appear. Then, touch Delete, as shown at right.
Alternatively, while you are on the Recent Finds list page, press
MENU from your StreetPilot or remote to reveal a new Menu
page, shown below. From this menu, you can delete the current
highlighted recent find, or you can delete the entire list that
includes this recent find. You can also completely delete all recent
finds.
Note: Deleting information from the Recent
Finds list merely removes the city name, address,
restaurant, or waypoint from this list. It does not
delete the actual city from your detail map nor
does it remove waypoints you created.

Creating your own Routes
Use the ROUTE feature on your StreetPilot unit to create vacation routes, routes to a job interview or
garage sale, or anywhere! Once you create and save the route, you can retrieve it when you need it and you
won’t have to stop to ask for directions or consult a map.
Reference
Creating Routes
NoTe: Creating and/or changing routes while driving is dangerous and is not encouraged.
Consider creating and running routes in “simulated mode.” Set your StreetPilot to indoor
use by pressing MeNu on the unit and selecting the ‘Use Indoors’ icon. This will turn off
GPS capability and allow you to run your routes in simulated mode. To further ensure safety,
consider creating and saving routes before you travel. See Saving a Route in this section of
the manual.
The Route Menu lists many options for creating routes. To access the Route Menu, press and hold the
MENU/ROUTE key on your StreetPilot or remote for two seconds. You can also press MENU, then select
the Route icon. The options below are available, although all may not appear when you view this page for
the first time or if you have not yet created a route. When you create a route and activate it, the following
options appear:
Access the Route Menu above by pressing and holding
down on the MENU/ROUTE key from your StreetPilot or
remote control. The first time you access this menu, you
will see limited options. Your first step, then, is to select
New to create a route.
Recalculate – Recalculates the active route for faster time or shorter distance. This option is available only
when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.
Stop or Resume Route – Stops the current active (or simulated) route or resumes a stopped route.
Add/Edit Vias – Adds or removes an extra stop to be reached on the way to a final destination. A list of via
points can also be sorted by their closest distance from you, creating an optimal route that
intersects all vias. This option is available only when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.
Detour – Calculates a new route to a destination by avoiding part of the current route. This option is
available only when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.
The options shown above appear while you are navi-
gating or simulating a route.
Return to Start – Reverses the route and returns you to the point from which you initiated the route.
Routing Setup – Allows you to control routing preference settings.

Creating Routes
Creating your First Route
Creating routes are fast and easy once you become familiar with and understand the various steps and
options.
To start a new Route:
1. From the ‘Route Menu,’ select ‘New.’ A ‘Start Point’ window appears.
2. From the ‘Start Point’ window, select one of the three options: Current Location, Use Map, or Find.
3. Once you select an option, the ‘Start Point’ window disappears and an ‘End Point’ window appears.
Note that the same options mentioned in Step 2 appear here. Select the appropriate option.
4. The ‘End Point’ window disappears and a ‘Route Preference’ window appears. Select one of the three
options: Faster Time, Shorter Distance, or Off Road.
From the Route Menu, select New. A Start Point window
shown above will appear. Pick your start point and the
End Point window (inset) will appear.
5. A thumbnail route map appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Map
page as the unit calculates the route, as shown on the diagram at right. A
voice prompt sounds and a magenta route line appears. The unit is now
ready to navigate the new route.
Thumbnail route map
Current Location, Use Map, and Find
Your StreetPilot attempts to help you find your starting and ending points for creating routes as quickly and
as easily as possible. Thus, it allows you three options for building your route:
Current Location — Choose this option if you want the route to begin (or end) at your current physical
location (you are at work, home, at an out-of-town conference, for example).
Once you select a Start Point and End Point, pick your
Route Preference, as shown above.
Use Map — Choose this option if you want to find your location by panning on the Map page. When the
Map page appears, move around it until you find your destination point. Then, tap the check mark that’s
located at the top right-hand corner of the Map page.
ꢁꢈ

Find — Choose this option if you want to find a known place such as a restaurant, hotel, waypoint, or
an address. Use the Find option in the same way that it is discussed in the last section, Finding Places by
Using the FIND Menu.
Reference
Route Preference Window
Creating Routes
Once you mark your start and end points for a route, you can decide how you want the route to be
calculated: by using the fastest time, by taking the shortest distance, or by travelling off route.
Faster Time — Choose this option if you want your StreetPilot to use time as the criteria for calculating
your route. This means that the driving time will be shorter but the distance might be longer.
Shorter Distance — Choose this option if you want your StreetPilot to use distance as the criteria for
calculating your route. This means that the distance might be shorter but you may have to drive longer.
Off Road — Choose this option to view a direct-line route to your destination. This option does not
provide a turn-by-turn route. It merely displays a straight line from your end point to your start point; the
voice guidance tells you the direction and distance to your destination. Use this option if you are travelling
where obscure roads (or no roads) might be.
The appearance of the Route menu depends on if you
are currently navigating a route (top) or if you have
recently completed a route (bottom).
As soon as your route is created, your StreetPilot begins to navigate the route. If at any time
you wish to STOP a route, select Stop Route from the Route menu. To RESUME the route,
select Resume Route.
Setting a HOME Waypoint
Your StreetPilot includes a special feature that allows you to set a HOME waypoint that can be your home,
office, or any other place to which you return most often. Once set, you can opt to go “HOME.” For
example, if you are driving in a new city or down an unknown street and you want to easily find your way
home, simply press your StreetPilot’s FIND key two times. A window asking you to verify that you want to
route home will appear. Select Yes, and your StreetPilot will then direct you to your HOME location.

5. From the ‘New Waypoint’ page, touch ‘OK.’ Your Home waypoint is set.
At your request, your StreetPilot will create a route for you to go to your HOME
location while you are on the road. Simply press your StreetPilot’s FIND key two
times. A window asking you to verify that you want to route home will appear.
Select Yes, and your StreetPilot will then redirect you to your HOME location.
Get to the Route Menu page shown above by
pressing and holding down the MENU key from
your StreetPilot. A Set Home Waypoint window will
appear, as shown below.
Changing your HOME Waypoint
If you travel frequently, you may want to change your HOME waypoint to the hotel at the conference you
are attending or to the relative’s house at which you are vacationing. Then, as you explore the surrounding
area, you can use the Route HOME feature to return you to your lodging place. To change your HOME
waypoint, you must first delete the existing HOME waypoint. Do this by pressing FIND from your
StreetPilot, and then selecting the Waypoints icon. Find and select your HOME waypoint. When the
Waypoint Review page appears, touch Delete. Select Yes to confirm that you really want to delete your HOME
waypoint. Create a new HOME waypoint by following instructions above.
Once you find your location, the New Waypoint page
shown below will appear. It includes the coordinates
of your chosen HOME location. Touch OK to accept
the location.
Saving a Route
Your StreetPilot always remembers the last route you created. Thus, you can save the route either during the
navigation or after the route is complete. In either case, simply press and hold the MENU/ROUTE key on
your StreetPilot or remote control to access the Route menu. The name of your current/completed route will
appear at the top of the Route menu. Select the Save icon and a Route Saved page will appear. If necessary,

Modifying a Route
Reference
After you have practiced creating and saving simple routes, then you are ready to learn how to modify
them to suit more specific needs.
Creating Routes
Recalculating a Route
If you decide to temporarily part from your current route, you can select Recalculate from the Route
menu to calculate a new route from your current location to your destination. The StreetPilot will
recalculate and update your route.
Adding a Detour
While you are navigating a route, you might come to a roadblock or other obstruction that will create a
need for you to take a detour from your current route. If this happens, simply select the Detour icon from
the Route menu. A Detour Distance window will appear. You can alter your route for either 1/2, 1, 2, 5,
or 15 miles. If you are in New York City, for example, and you see that the next few blocks are unusually
congested with traffic, you might want to opt for a 1/2-mile detour.
Select a distance from which to detour from your
current route.
Once you select a distance, your StreetPilot will calculate a new route and provide you with new
instructions. Note that, on some routes, the route you are currently taking might be the only reasonable
option. In this case, you will not be able to take a detour. Also, your StreetPilot makes every possible
attempt to get you back on the original route at your requested distance; however, the distance may be
longer if no other roads exist that can get you back to the original route.
Your StreetPilot remembers detours you set each time this route is calculated until you stop the current
navigation or until you turn off the unit.
To cancel a detour, select Detour from the Route menu.

Adding Via Points
Reference
Via points are extra stops you’d like to make on your way to a final destination. You can add up to 48 via
points. When you have entered all of them, your StreetPilot can arrange them in the most efficient order
(called auto arrange) so that you can visit each point without a lot of extra driving.
Creating Routes
Before you can add via points to a particular route, you must first activate that route. Remember, you don’t
have to be in your vehicle to activate a route; you can activate it in your home or at the office. Also, you
can add via points to a route that you have previously saved (which you can retrieve and activate from the
Route List), or one that you have just created.
Once the route is activated, follow the instructions below.
To add a via Point to the active Route:
1. Press and hold the unit or remote MeNu key for two seconds to view the ‘Active Route’ menu. Select
‘Add/Edit Vias.’ An ‘Edit Vias’ page appears. Note that your current destination appears on this page.
You can add a via point in order to add an extra stop
to your route. Select the Add/Edit Vias icon from the
Active Route menu shown above. An Edit Vias page
will appear (below) that lists your final destination.
2. Select ‘Add Via Point.’ An ‘Add Via Point’ page appears with two options for finding your location: ‘Use
Map’ or ‘Find.’
3. Select an option from the ‘Add Via Point’ page. For more help on using these options, see Finding
Places using the FINd Menu in the previous section of this manual. When you have entered the
desired location, an information page about this location will appear.
4. Select ‘Add As Via’ on the information page. The new via point is added to the ‘Edit Vias’ page.
5. Select ‘Done’ on the ‘Edit Vias’ page. Your original route is automatically recalculated to include the
newly added via point. (Note: if you touch the X in the top right corner of the ‘Edit Vias’ page, your
StreetPilot will remove the newly-created via point and continue to use the original route.)
6. To add more via points, select ‘Add Another’ from the ‘Edit Vias’ page and repeat steps 3-5 above.

Arranging Via Points
Reference
If you add more than one via point, you may want to arrange
the order of the stops (or points) on the route to minimize route
length. In the example at right, numerous stops have been added to
a trip to the Kansas Speedway. The order is random because all via
points have just been added. Note that the highlighted via point,
Olathe J, is fourth on the list.
Creating Routes
If you have a definite order for the places you would like to visit,
you can arrange the order by highlighting a via point and moving
it up or down by using the up/down arrows on the Edit Vias page.
Thus, if you wish to make Olathe J second on your route, move
it accordingly, as shown at right. Note that you can also change
the final destination (Kansas Speedway) by manually moving a via
point into the final position that displays the blue checkered flag.
Once you find the location that you would like to add
(by using Use Map or Find), select the location, and
information about it will appear. Select Add As Via, and
the location will appear as a via point, shown below.
To create a route through all via points that is optimized for
distance, simply select Auto Arrange from the Edit Vias page (as
shown at right). .A window appears that asks if you also want your
destination point to be reordered. Answer Yes, and the unit arranges
all of your stops, including the destination point. Answer No, and
the unit arranges all of your stops EXCEPT the destination point.
Deleting Via Points
When you opt to have the StreetPilot auto arrange your
via points, a window will appear that will ask you if
you want your destination point to be reordered. If you
answer yes, your destination point will be reordered, but
only if doing so creates the shortest route.
If you decide that you no longer want to visit one of your via points,
simply touch that point to reveal information about the selected via
point. Select Remove and then select Yes to verify, and the via point will be
removed from your route.

Customizing Route Settings
Custom Road Preferences button
The Custom Road Preferences button appears on the Routing tab and allows you create a customized
preference for route calculation. For example, if you plan to take a trip that includes scenic routes, move
the Medium Road Category preference bar towards Prefer and the Major Road Category towards Avoid. Your
unit attempts to create routes that primarily use medium roads over larger roads. If you do not change
any of the Road Category settings (Major, Medium, Minor), the overall Custom Road Preferences setting is
equivalent to the Shorter Time setting on the Route Preference window (see page 47).
The example above indicates that you have no prefer-
ence in terms of which type of roads your StreetPilot
uses when calculating a route. If you desire one type of
road, move the slider bar towards Prefer.
As you continue to drive with your StreetPilot, it remembers and stores your driving habits. Thus, if you
want your unit to automatically optimize the custom route preferences based on your driving habits; simply
select the Auto Set button. For example, if you tend to drive slower than expected on minor roads, then the
Auto Set option should move the Minor Road Category preference bar towards Avoid to cause the unit to
avoid these roads even more than normal.
When you customize the Custom Road Preferences
page or use Auto Set, these settings appear as a
Custom option on the Route Preference window.
Select the Reset button if you want the original settings to display.
Note: When you customize this page or use Auto Set, these settings appear as a Custom option on the Route
Preference window (see page 47). If you choose to select the Custom option, the Custom Road Preferences
page will reappear, giving you an opportunity to further customize the settings.
The Custom option icon will appear on the Route
Preference window--even if you no longer want to use
it as an option--until you delete the icon. The next time
the Route Preference window appears, press the unit’s
MENU key and select the Hide Custom icon.

understanding the GPS Information Page
Reference
What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24
satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military
applications, but the government made the system available for civilian use in the 1980s. GPS works in
any weather condition, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup
charges to use GPS.
GPS Info Page
GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to Earth.
The GPS receiver that is located in your StreetPilot takes this information and uses triangulation to
calculate your exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a
satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite
is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine your position
and display it on the StreetPilot’s Map page.
A hollow bar (such as satellite numbers 6, 15, and 17)
indicates the StreetPilot has found the satellite(s) and
is collecting data. Note how the StreetPilot has not yet
found satellites 9, 10, 16, 22, and 23.
A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude
and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine your
3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude). Once your position has been determined, the GPS unit can
calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise
and sunset, time, and more.
The GPS Information Page
The GPS Information page provides a visual reference of GPS receiver functions, including current satellite
coverage, receiver status, and position accuracy. To access this page, press the StreetPilot MENU key; a
Menu page will appear. From the Menu page, select the Info icon, and an Info page will appear. Touch the
GPS Info icon and the GPS Information page will appear.
Solid green bars indicate the StreetPilot has collected
the necessary information and that satellites 18 and 21
are ready for use.
GPS satellites are positioned throughout the sky. As soon as you turn on your StreetPilot, it attempts
to acquire satellite reception. From the sky view area on the GPS Information page, you can see which
satellites are currently in your area; each satellite has its own number (from 1-31).

Hollow signal strength bar: The GPS receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data. The
corresponding number(s) on the sky view is highlighted in pink.
Solid green signal strength bar: The GPS receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s)
is ready for use. The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is highlighted in green.
‘Acquiring Sats’ means the receiver is collecting data
from available satellites but has not collected enough
data to calculate a position fix.
Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (hollow signal strength bar, as
described above) before that satellite can be used for navigation (solid green signal strength bar). Once
a fix has been calculated, the StreetPilot then updates your position, ground track, and ground speed by
selecting and using the best satellites in view.
Sky View and Signal Strength Bars
The sky view and signal strength bars give you an indication of which satellites are currently visible, which
satellites are being used to calculate a position fix, and the signal quality. The sky view provides a “bird’s
eye” view of each satellite position relative to your unit’s last known position. The outer circle represents
the horizon in all directions (with cardinal heading references). The inner circle represents an elevation of
45° above the horizon. Any satellite depicted near the center is directly overhead. You can use the sky view
to help determine whether any satellites are being blocked and whether you have a current position fix
(indicated by 2D Navigation or 3D Navigation in the Satellite Status field). You can also set the sky view to a
‘GPS is Off’ tells you the unit is being used indoors and
cannot be used for navigation.

Satellite Status
GPS Info Page
As soon as the GPS receiver in your StreetPilot has collected the necessary data to calculate a fix, the status
field indicates a 2D or 3D status (for 2D, you may need to enter your elevation). Satellite Status is indicated
at the top left corner of the page. The status is shown as one of the following conditions:
Searching Sky – The GPS receiver is looking for any available satellites in view.
AutoLocate – The GPS receiver is initializing and collecting new almanac data. This process can take up to
five minutes, depending on the satellites currently in view.
Acquiring Sats – The GPS receiver is collecting data from available satellites but has not collected enough
data to calculate a position fix.
You can temporarily lose satellite reception if no satel-
lite information is received for a few minutes, or if the
number of satellites received to determine a position fix
is insufficient.
2D Navigation – At least three satellites with good geometry have been locked onto; a two-dimensional
position fix (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. (Reads 2D Diff Nav if WAAS-enabled)
3D Navigation – At least four satellites with good geometry have been locked onto; your position is now
being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. (Reads 3D Diff Nav if WAAS-enabled)
Lost Reception – The GPS receiver has temporarily lost satellite reception.
Poor GPS Coverage – The GPS receiver isn’t tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to bad
satellite geometry or due to a shaded antenna (such as driving between buildings)
Not Usable – The StreetPilot is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite
conditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset and re-initialize the receiver if necessary.
GPS is Off – The StreetPilot is being used indoors and cannot be used for navigation.
The sun and moon icons on the satellite sky view are
for reference (note that the icons are a bluish color if
the sun/moon is below the horizon). You can see the
sunrise and sunset times for your current location and
date on the Time Setup page under System Setup.
Dead Reckoning (2650 only) – The StreetPilot 2650 isn’t tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix
due to bad satellite geometry or a shaded antenna (such as driving between buildings), and is using Dead
Reckoning.

‘Poor Satellite Reception’ Menu
Reference
If no satellites are received for several minutes (or if too few satellites are received to determine a position
fix), a Poor Satellite Reception message appears. You can: turn off the GPS for using the unit indoors for
practice; update your approximate location (quicker); or have the unit automatically search for the satellites
(takes longer). Updating your approximate location ensures that the StreetPilot is searching for the correct
satellites and is useful if you have traveled over 500 miles with the unit turned off. If the unit has been
stored for a few months and the displayed date is incorrect, the StreetPilot does not know the current
positions of the GPS satellites. Additionally, the Poor Satellite Reception message may appear when you first
use your StreetPilot. The prompt may also appear during normal use if the antenna is shaded or when the
unit is used indoors.
GPS Info Page
Accuracy
The GPS Information page indicates the accuracy of the position fix. See Appendix G for the StreetPilot’s
performance specifications which include accuracy.
The ‘Poor Satellite Reception’ menu gives you several
options when an insufficient number of satellites is
received to determine a position fix.
GPS Information Page Options
To display the GPS Information page options, press MENU (with the GPS Information page displayed). The
following options are available: Track Up/North Up, New Elevation, New Location, and Enable WAAS.
Track Up/North Up Changes the sky view display from a North Up orientation to Track Up, which aligns
–
the Map page to the current direction of travel (ground track). You can also touch the sky view on the GPS
Information page to toggle between Track Up and North Up.
New Location Forces the StreetPilot to search for any available satellite to determine its position. This
–
A variety of options can be performed via the Menu
page shown above. Access this page by pressing your
unit’s MENU key while you are on the GPS Information
page.
option can be used only if you don’t have a GPS fix. It is useful if you’ve relocated a long distance (greater
than 500 miles) from where the StreetPilot was last used. In such instances, without initialization, the
StreetPilot may be looking for the wrong group of satellites.

To select a new location:
Reference
1. Select ‘New Location.’ A window appears with two options (‘Automatic’ and ‘Use Map’).
2. Select either ‘Automatic’ or ‘Use Map.’ Selecting ‘Automatic’ puts the unit in Autolocate mode and begins
searching the sky for satellites. For ‘Use Map,’ a ‘New Location’ map page appears.
GPS Info Page
3. If ‘Use Map’ is selected, pan and zoom the map pointer on the map to find your approximate location.
Then touch the checkmark in the upper right-hand side of the page.
New Elevation Allows you to designate your approximate elevation when the StreetPilot is acquiring
–
satellites or navigating within a two-dimensional position. By default, 2D navigation attempts to use the last
known elevation. If the elevation shown is off by several hundred feet (or more), manually entering your
approximate elevation enables the receiver to more accurately determine a position fix. Once the unit has a
3D position, you cannot enter an elevation.
A ‘D’ on various signal strength bars above indicate
which GPS satellites are being differentially corrected
via WAAS satellites. Note that if the signal strength bar
is too short, the ‘D’ will appear above the bar, as with
satellite 26.
Enable WAAS Allows you to improve position accuracy by using Wide Area Augmentation System
–
(WAAS) capability. WAAS is a system of satellites and ground stations that provide GPS signal corrections,
giving you even better position accuracy (an average of up to five times better). A WAAS-capable receiver
can give you a position accuracy of better than three meters 95 percent of the time. WAAS corrects for GPS
signal errors caused by ionospheric disturbances, timing, and satellite orbit errors, and it provides vital
integrity information regarding the health of each GPS satellite.
WAAS consists of approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across the United States that
monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations, located on either coast, collect data from the reference
stations and create a GPS correction message. This correction accounts for GPS satellite orbit and clock
drift plus signal delays caused by the atmosphere and ionosphere. The corrected differential message
is then broadcast through one of two geostationary satellites, or satellites with a fixed position over the
equator. The information is compatible with the basic GPS signal structure, which means any WAAS-
enabled GPS receiver can read the signal.
GPS satellites can be differentially corrected via WAAS
satellites even before your StreetPilot communicates
with the GPS satellites, as is the case with Satellite 5,
above.
View the GPS Information page to see which GPS satellites are receiving position corrections from the
WAAS satellites. A “D” will appear on the signal strength bar for GPS satellites that have been “Differentially
corrected” via the WAAS satellites.

Vehicle Installation
Appendix
The StreetPilot 2610/2650 is portable, allowing you to easily carry the unit from vehicle to vehicle or take
it with you once you reach your destination. A permanent dash mount (consisting of a mounting base and
adhesive pads) is included with the StreetPilot. Also included is a non-skid friction mount which is designed
for convenient temporary mounting for your StreetPilot. When mounting your StreetPilot, keep in mind
the following safety warnings:
appendix a: vehicle Installation
WaRNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole respon-
sibility of the owner/operator to place and secure
the StreetPilot so that is does not interfere with
the vehicle operating controls and safety devices,
obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or
cause damage or personal injury in the event of an
accident. Do not place the mounting bracket over
airbag panels or in the field of airbag deployment.
Airbags expand with a rapid fire force that can
propel objects in their paths toward the driver or
passengers, causing possible injury. Refer to airbag
safety precautions contained in the vehicle’s owner’s
manual. Do not place the mounting bracket where
the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an
accident or collision. The mounting hardware pro-
vided by Garmin is not warranted against collision
damage or the consequences thereof.
Do not place unse-
cured on the vehicle
dash
Do not mount where the
driver’s field of vision is
blocked
Do not mount in front of an
airbag field of deployment
Do not mount over

DR Cable Wiring - For Dealer Installation Only (StreetPilot 2650 only)
Appendix
The StreetPilot 2650 includes Dead Reckoning (DR) cable connections that must be installed by a Garmin-
authorized licensed installer. The DR connection consists of a 2-wire harness that connects to the VSS
(Vehicle Speed Sensor) and Reverse Light Switch on the bare wire end, and connects to the StreetPilot’s
vehicle adapter on the 2-prong molded connector end.
appendix b: dR Cable Wiring
(2650 only)
The Orange DR 1 cable wire attaches to the VSS. The unit software option Odometer Wave Type must be set

Using Diacritical Marks
Appendix
The European version of the StreetPilot 2610/2650 supports diacritical marks commonly used in many
European languages. Diacritical marks are added to letters to indicate a special phonetic value that
distinguishes it from an otherwise identical letter. The following letter/diacritic combinations, and special
characters, are supported in your StreetPilot:
appendix C: using diacritical
Marks
À
É
Á
Ê
Â
Ë
Ã
Ì
Ä
Í
Å
Î
Ç
Ï
È
Ð
Ù
Ñ
Ú
Ò
Û
Ó
Ü
Ô
Ý
Õ
Ÿ
Ö
Þ
Ø
ß
Ligatures are not displayed, but are instead converted to separate characters. For example, “Æ” or “æ”
appears on the StreetPilot as “AE.” Similarly, “Œ” or “œ” appears on the StreetPilot as “OE.” The “ß”
character is displayed as “SS” on the StreetPilot.
When finding cities, enter each character using the base
letter (or whatever corresponding letter with diacritical
marks appears), then proceed to the next character.
Letters with diacritical marks are sorted together with those without diacritics. For example, the “Ç” is
sorted in the StreetPilot’s alphabet as a “C,” and the “Д is sorted as a “D.” This means that sorted lists may
contain a mix of diacritic marks for a given letter. Also note that the “Þ” character appears at the end of the
alphabet on the StreetPilot.
When searching for a city or point of interest (POI) that includes these special characters in its name, your
search proceeds as if the base letter and the same letter with diacritical marks are identical. In other words,
when searching for a city/POI that includes E, È, É, Ê or Ë in the name, simply enter “E” or whichever
diacritic version appears and proceed to the next character in the name. As you continue to enter additional
characters, the appropriate character appears when the correct city/POI name is selected. You can observe
this by using the FIND key to select the following cities:
As you continue to enter each character, previously
entered characters may change to appear with or
without diacritical marks. Once the desired name is
displayed, select OK, and then select the desired name.
An information page will appear.

3. Select the ‘A’ as the second character.
4. Select the ‘S’ as the third character. As you enter letters, notice how the ‘A’ character in the preceding
step changes from ‘A’ to an ‘A’ with diacritical marks.
5. Continue entering the next three characters ‘T,’ ‘E,’ and ‘R’ in the same manner.
6. Select ‘Å’ as the seventh character. Notice that the diacritic letter appears first, not ‘A,’ because
‘VÄSTERÅS’ is the only matching entry remaining in the city database.
7. Try this same exercise with København, Denmark; Logroño, Spain; or Genève, Switzerland.
For other special characters, try searching for the following cities: Bragança, Portugal (appears as shown
here); or Meißen, Germany (appears as “MEISSEN” in your StreetPilot).
Other special characters appear on the European ver-
sion of your StreetPilot 2610/2650.
If you wish to save a city/POI as a waypoint, the StreetPilot assigns a waypoint name to this location.
Keep in mind that, although diacritical marks appear when using the FIND key, they are not supported
in most other StreetPilot functions. Therefore, Västerås, Sweden appears as “VASTERAS” when saved as
a waypoint.
To save a city or point of interest as a waypoint, select
the flag icon located on the lower left side of the page.

Adding New Mapping Software to your StreetPilot
Appendix
You can purchase additional MapSource mapping software from Garmin such as City Navigator Europe or
MetroGuide Canada. Information from these maps will appear on the StreetPilot’s Map page just like the
City Navigator maps you initially installed in your unit. Follow the instructions that came with your new
mapping software to ensure proper installation of the maps to your computer and StreetPilot.
appendix e: adding Maps to
your StreetPilot
Controlling Map Views on the Map Page
You can view a list of your maps, which includes the City Navigator maps you originally installed as well
as ones you have recently added, on the Detail Maps Info page. To access this page, press the StreetPilot
MENU key two times; an Info page appears. Touch the Map Info icon and the Detail Maps Info page
appears:
Access the Info page pressing the unit’s MENU key
two times. Select the Map Info icon to access the Detail
Maps Info page.
In the example above, the StreetPilot owner has downloaded numerous map files from North American
City Navigator v5 as well as from City Navigator Europe v5. A box appears to the immediate left of each
Map Family Name (directly under Enabled). When the Enabled box is checked, your StreetPilot will draw
the map data from these maps to your StreetPilot. To disable a map, uncheck the box by touching the map
name. If the maps loaded in your StreetPilot do not overlap, you should not need to disable maps. If you
load two maps that cover the same area, however, you may want to disable one of the maps so that you
can view detail from the other one.

You can review the names of the individual map files
(from all of the map families) you downloaded to your CF
card by pressing your unit’s MENU page while you are
on the Detail Maps Info page. From the new Menu page
that appears, select the Show Map Families icon. A list of
all maps within all map families appears. In the example
at right, a partial list of maps that make up the North
American City Navigator map family are shown.
Appendix
You can disable these maps and the map detail for that area will no longer appear on the Map page.
Changing Map Families when Finding Places
If you have loaded additional map families into your StreetPilot (such as City Select Europe or MetroGuide
Canada), you can specify which map family the StreetPilot uses while searching for cities and/or places.
Recall that you search for cities and places by pressing the unit’s FIND key and then selecting the
appropriate Find icon (Lodging, Services, Cities, etc.). The StreetPilot returns a list of results from one map
family. For example, if you are searching for a restaurant in Paris, the StreetPilot will search from the City
Select Europe map family and not the North American City Navigator map family. In this case, you do not
need to change the map family because the map families do not share overlapping information. Thus, the
StreetPilot knows which map family to use for this particular search.
Select Enable All Maps or Disable all Maps to display
or hide detail map information on your Map page.
Select Show Map Families to display a list of smaller
maps that make up a map family.
If your StreetPilot contains map families that might have overlapping information, you may need to specify
a different map family. If you are searching for a restaurant in Ontario, for example, your StreetPilot might
search from the North American City Navigator map family when you really want it to search from the
MetroGuide Canada map family. Change the map family by pressing the unit’s MENU key. From the Menu
page, touch the Select Map icon. A list of your installed maps that contains searchable cities or places will
appear on a Select Map page. Touch the map family you want the StreetPilot to use for the search, and it will
return a list of cities or places only from this map family.
If information for a particular search is indeed available
in another map family, a Select Map icon will appear on
the Menu page. If this icon does not appear, then search
information is not available in the other map family (or
families).

CompactFlash® data cards are widely available over the counter, and you may purchase additional cards at many different
retailers. Because Garmin does not manufacture these cards, it is possible that CompactFlash cards by certain manufacturers
may generate radio frequency signals that interfere with the operation of your StreetPilot. These circumstances are beyond
Garmin’s control. If this occurs, please use a CF card from a different manufacturer.

Appendix
The StreetPilot 2610/2650 complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital devices
FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide more reasonable protection against

Appendix
Warnings and Cautions
CAUTION: It is the user’s responsibility to use this product prudently. This product is intended to be
used only as a navigational aid and must not be used for any purpose requiring precise measurement of
direction, distance, location or topography.
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete
and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental
and private data sources which we identify as required in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree.
This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not
available or prohibitively expensive. Because the map data may not be perfect, consider verifying the unit’s
map with your actual surroundings to confirm that you are arriving at the exact destination.
WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is
solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin StreetPilot 2610/2650 is a precision
navigation system any navigation system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
