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 the ‘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.
