that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the StreetPilot III is
a precision NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.

MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most
complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of
governmental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product literature and copy-
right messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete
data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate
digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.
WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided
in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional
information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.
Because the map data may not be perfect, it will help
at times to cross-check the unit’s map with your actual
surroundings to confi rm that you are arriving at the
exact destination.
