Digital camera reviews of Garmin GPS III Plus Personal Navigator (12 Channel)
Digital camera Review: Large enough for dash, small enough for pack
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit is the perfect size for double duty as a dash board unit and hiking companion.This is my third Garmin unit and first with a basemap. The base map makes it much more useful.
Cons:
Scrolling the base map can be time consuming. You will have to wait while map is loaded one screen full at a time. In a large city with lots of streets this can be frustrating. Editing routes is very tedious and usually requires resorting to manual to remember process.

Garmin's GPS III Plus offers cartographic capabilities formerly found only in high-end automotive navigation and marine chartplotting units. Simply plug it into a PC and download an extra 1.44 MB of map data from Garmin's line of MapSource CD ROM's to give you instant detailed maps.Whether you're cruising the streets or pounding the waves, Garmin has the maps you need. Choose the U.S. Roads and Recreation CD for city street level detail and even inland marine features such as lake and river shorelines, boat ramp and marina locations. Other CD's give you worldwide coverage of coastlines, including a database of coastal cities, navaids and inland roads.Even without additional cartography, the basemap in the GPS III Plus will get you where you're going. More than 10, 000 new towns have been added to the permanent basemap, as well as airport locations, secondary roads in metro areas and even detailed exit information for the federal interstate highway system, including information about available lodging, food and service stations.Garmin's new GPS III Plus offers cartographic capabilities formerly found only in high-end automotive navigation and marine chart plotting units.
