Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Garmin StreetPilot III. The StreetPilot III offers true turn-by-turn
navigation with its auto-routing feature. At the touch of a button, you now have access to the shortest
and fastest routes, turn directions, and estimated time of arrival at your intended destination. Along
the way, the StreetPilot III provides automated voice prompts, alerting you to necessary turns, distance
to upcoming turns, route deviation, and distance to the fi nal destination.
The StreetPilot III is compact and portable. This dash-mounted unit can be operated by your
vehicle’s battery using the included 12-volt power adapter, or by six AA batteries. Voice commands
are clearly heard through a speaker which is built into the power adapter cable. The StreetPilot III can
easily be viewed in any lighting condition, due to its 4-inch, high resolution, 16-color display. The
unit’s built-in basemap provides detail for interstates, interstate exit data, highways, rivers and lakes,
plus commonly used streets in metropolitan areas. With the press of a button, the built-in basemap
will provide turn-by-turn guidance to a destination via interstates and highways. When a card with
MapSource City Navigator maps is in the unit, the StreetPilot III provides turn-by-turn guidance down
to residential street-level detail.

Introduction
Welcome
The StreetPilot III uses GPS technology in order to fi nd
your precise location. GPS stands for Global Positioning
System, a group of 24 satellites, circling the earth
twice a day, at an altitude of about 12,000 miles. The
satellites transmit very low power radio signals contain-
ing position and time information, allowing anyone
with a GPS receiver to determine their location on the
earth within 100 meters or better. For more detailed
information regarding GPS, we have prepared a booklet
called “GPS Guide for Beginners” which is available to
you from our web site at www.garmin.com.
