Garmin III GPS Receiver User Manual

When you are not driving on roads that are present in the maps, you may see a circle drawn
around the position pointer. This is an ‘accuracy circle’. The StreetPilot III uses both map resolution
and GPS accuracy in defi ning your location to a point within this “accuracy circle”. The smaller the
circle, the more accurate your location. More detailed map features as well as information about those
features can be displayed using a data card containing map data transferred from a GARMIN MapSource
CD-ROM. When you zoom into smaller map scales, “MapSource” will appear directly below the map
scale indicating that MapSource data is being used to draw a more detailed map.
