Garmin StreetPilot III In Car GPS Tips The StreetPilot III is able to use previous Garmin Metroguide software, but without auto-routing or voice capabilities - this is only available with the City Navigator and City Select Series and the MetroGuide Canada CD ROM.
Garmin StreetPilot III In Car GPS Description The StreetPilot III follows in the footsteps of the original StreetPilot and StreetPilot ColorMap as a portable automotive GPS navigation system with electronic map capabilities. But it goes a step further by adding turn-by-turn navigation and voice prompting on a 16-color, higher-resolution display.
Unlike other in-car navigation systems that boast portability, the StreetPilot III does not require monthly service fees, installation, or an external processor. Instead, consumers can download street-level mapsets onto a removable memory cartridge, insert the card into the StreetPilot III, mount the system on the dash of any vehicle, and enjoy the ease of stress-free driving. It is the most convenient, portable auto-navigation system on the market, and it's available at a fraction of the price of in-dash navigation systems.
The StreetPilot III offers true turn-by-turn navigation in America's major cities with its auto-routing feature. At the touch of a button, consumers will now have access to the shortest and fastest routes, turn directions, and estimated time of arrival at their intended destination. Along the way, the StreetPilot III provides automated voice prompts, alerting the driver to necessary turns, distance to upcoming turns, course deviation, and distance to final destination.
The unit ships with the MapSource City Navigator CDROM, which has 10 map detail coverage areas (DCA's) for the US and Canada. One free DCA is included with each unit. Save $$ by ordering your individual unlock codes or an unlock code for the entire CDROM from GPS City.
Backwards Compatibility: The StreetPilot III is able to use previous Metroguide software, but without auto-routing or voice capabilities - this is only available with the City Navigator CDROM.
