The Ultimate Marriage of Satellite Navigation and Travel Information
A highly sophisticated unit at an economical price. It contains the same detailed basemap that has made the GPS III so popular, with state boundaries, airports, cities, towns, U.S., state and interstate highways, coastline lakes, rivers, streams for North and South America. In addition, this unit shows main and secondary roads for U.S. metro areas along with roads in 10,000 additional smaller cities.
Specifications: Perhaps the most exciting feature of the GPS III Plus is the U.S. Interstate Highway Exit information. For any U.S. Interstate, you can determine which services (food, lodging, gas, etc.) are available there. You will also be able to see road names at each exit, distance to the exit, compass bearing to the exit, and the estimated time of arrival. You can even find out the names of gas stations at a particular exit, whether they offer propane or diesel, have a car wash, and where they are situated off the exit. Names of restaurants and fast-food stops are available as well. In short, you can truly harness the power of this state-of-the-art navigational tool and make it work for you. To further increase the detail of the basemap, you can purchase the U.S. Roads and Recreation MapSource CD-ROM which contains nearly every street in the entire U.S. If you are traveling to a specific city, you can download detailed street information for that city directly into your Garmin GPS III Plus. You can add or delete MapSource information to and from your GPS III Plus as you choose. No more map chips to buy, ever! Extended battery life of up to 36 hours using 4 AA alkaline batteries (not included). Comes with user manual, lanyard, Velcro™ mount and quick reference card.
