There are three main pages on the StreetPilot III: the Map Page, Trip Information Page, and Current
Route Page. Press the PAGE or QUIT key to sequence through these pages.
Virtual Tour
Let’s use the StreetPilot III’s built-in simulator to select a destination, plan a route, and see how the
unit would operate in actual use. This simulated trip will involve the use of the FIND key to show you
how the StreetPilot III guides you through every turn with audible directions. First, if you haven’t already
done so, take the StreetPilot III outside and let it determine your current location.
To determine your current position:
1. Turn the StreetPilot III on by pressing the red POWER key. Make sure the antenna is pointing upward
and you are located in an area with a clear view of the sky.
2. Press ENTER to acknowledge the power-on pages. The power-on process is complete when the Map
Page appears (see page 8).
3.
Observe the message banner at the top of the Map Page. When the message changes from “Acquiring
Satellites” to “Ready to Navigate” your StreetPilot III has determined your current position.
You may now continue the remainder of the Virtual Tour indoors. Find a comfortable chair, sit
back and enjoy the trip!
The fi rst time you use your new StreetPilot III, it will
need to search for GPS satellites and determine its
location. This process may take several minutes.
StreetPilot III is ready to guide you when the “Ready to
Navigate” message appears.
