Where You Are
The trouble with ordinary maps is, they don't know where you are. GARMIN's exclusive 12 channel receiver gives you a position fix in as little as 15 seconds, and stays locked on to satellites in the toughest of conditions-even under heavy foliage or tree canopy. There's even a position averaging feature that helps reduce the effects of Selective Availability (SA). An external antenna provides impressive reception for added security and reliability.
Where You've Been
This GPS remembers where you've been as well. Your route is tracked and stored along with names, icons and a brief description. With one keystroke, trip odometer and speed calculations are in clear view. You can even display sunrise and sunset times so you're not left in the dark.
Where You're Going
The most remarkable thing about the GPS III is it's basemap. It shows primary landmarks for North, South and Central America. And after telling you how far you are from a given point, it will figure the time required to arrive.
Getting Back
GARMIN GPS gives you added peace of mind knowing you have the TracBackª feature to create a one-touch route to follow your path all the way back home-without marking a single waypoint. If an emergency does arise, just press the MOB button and your location is instantly captured and steering guidance back to the position is computed, so help can reach you sooner.
