Digital camera reviews of Garmin GPS III Waterproof Hiking GPS
Digital camera Review: A Must Have for an Army Professional
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though the US Army provides reliable GPS systems to most ground warriors who need them, I would buy this Garmin model again if I had to. I have used this GPS all over Bosnia, the Southern US, Mexico, Honduras, and the National Training Center. And, I find that it is much quicker and easier to use than the AN/PSN-11 (The Plugger -- the current 'new' model the Army uses). And, while it can't pinpoint your position to the square foot you are standing in, I have regualarly been able to find my destination easier than any Plugger operator. AND, the ability to download topographical data into this one makes any Plugger or Magellan user green with jealousy. I keep my Garmin in my Jeep when at home. I keep my Garmin with me on the ocean. I keep my Garmin on the hatch of my armored vehicle during field manuevers. I keep it on my belt when I road march. And, I keep it in my hand when my drivers drive me around in my HMMWV. I can't recommend it enough.
