Garmin StreetPilot III
Portable, Color Display, Voice Prompting, GPS Navigation System

Back before in-car systems were widely available, portable units like this Garmin StreetPilot III retailed for about a thousand bucks and were worth every penny! I am the original owner of this device and I used it every day for about two years. It is still in very good condition and works flawlessly. The only caveat is the terrific MapSource CD, which is included with this item, is now about four years old and will not include that fancy new bridge or the new Super-Duper Biggie-Burger that opened last year. On the plus side, this unit has USB connectivity so you can update points of interest.

The simple, intuitive menus of the Street Pilot III offer access to the shortest and fastest routes, directions, and estimated arrival time of your intended destination. Automated voice prompts alert you to upcoming turns, course deviation, and distance to final destination. At the touch of a button, view the locations of all the nearest highway exits, gas stations, restaurants, ATMs, hospitals, and rest areas on a full-color LCD. (Note: This unit, like most, does NOT pronounce street names.)

Everything you need is included! Just place the portable system on the dash of any vehicle using the included "bean-bag" mount and plug the power cord/speaker system into your 12V socket and of you go. The included 32 MB Data Card will hold fully detailed street maps and points of interests covering approximately 150-200 mile radius from your selected "home."

Sample Screens

More than just a map, the Street Pilot III provides a wealth of information about your location, surroundings, points of interest, bodies of water, and your driving conditions. It's multi-use screen can be set to display

By using the ‘find’ key, points of interest such as attractions, restaurants, banks, intersections and many more are easily located and routed to. Simply choose the destination from the list and press ‘route to it’. The StreetPilot III will calculate the best route and talk you through to the destination.
The crisp, colorful LCD makes checking out your destination easy…even before you leave! This screen displays your possible destination of the St. Louis Zoo as well as local restaurants and emergency medical locations. It’s easy to become familiar with services provided even when you’re 244.1 miles away. Try that with a paper map!
Routes can be displayed several ways such as this turn by turn instruction screen, which highlights your next turn to make. The distance to go and time to go information gives driver’s the forewarning and confidence to watch for the approaching turn. The smooth verbal instructions will let you know when the next turn is approaching.

The trip computer screen calculates all the travel data for your trip with incredible accuracy, while verbal instructions inform you of the next turn. Valuable information like distance to destination and time to destination are constantly updated…perhaps even putting an end to the question ‘are we there yet?’
