Customer Review: Garmin GPS III Grrrreat
Summary: 5 Stars
Have you bought one of these yet? I live in the northern part of Minnesota, where trees are the only street marker. To-date I've used my Garmin GPSIII Plus for boating, snowmobiling, hiking, and hunting. I thought it would be power hungry and it isn't, I thought it would be slow and it isn't, I thought it would be hard to use and it isn't.........just set aside at least 5 hours to read the instruction book and use the simulation. But the only way is to use it.......use it for going to the store, gas or whatever after several days your friends will be amazed, it truly is a fine instrument for navigation especially for those people who don't know which way is north.Customer Review: Can't Imagine Driving Without It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I travel frequently for work and have spent my share of time trying to find my way around town. I bought this unit about a year ago and I have to say - it's the best use of new technology I've seen in years. I no longer search for client's offices, resturants, and hotels - I am able to drive like a local resident, going exactly where I need to go. I have saved countless hours of driving time, as well as eliminating loads of agrivation of driving and can't imagine driving without it. It's size allows me to take it in my briefcase and use it in rental cars across the country. This really is a great piece of gear - a must for any traveler!Customer Review: A wonderful traveling companion
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit is a wonderful traveling companion. It locks onto the sats quickly and is very user friendly. I really enjoy using it on trips in the vehicle. It also works very well when walking. I also enjoy the downloading capability from the mapping software I purchased separately. I enjoy being able to review my trips via computer, and even printing them. I make my own topo maps of various places. I have had the unit now for over a year. It is reliable, accurate, and alot of fun. You never have to worry about getting lost when you have a unit like this with you.
This would make a wonderful gift for anyone.
Customer Review: My hunting and fishing guide
Summary: 5 Stars
I first received a G.P.S. for Christmas two years ago after getting lost in the woods. I used it everywhere, But it was only the GPSII plus. It was stollen 10 months ago and I was crushed. I recently perchased the GPSIII Plus and it's amazing. I can't wait to get a topo map to down load so I can use it hunting or fishing. It's a tool that should go along with all the assentials of hunting...ie; binocolars,gun &1st aid kit. I know that's the first thing I grab when getting ready to hike the hills.I would recommend it to everyone who likes the outdoors.Customer Review: Garmin vs. US Army AN/ASN-149 GPS Nav System
Summary: 5 Stars
Several pilots in my National Guard CH47D unit have been using the Garmin GPS III for over a year now with excellent results. Due to this prior to a return flight from Fort Irwin, CA to Key Field, Meridian, MS I purchased a GPS III at the clothing sales store at Fort Irwin. During the return flight of approximately 1500 miles the Garmin consistantly out performed the installed GPS nav system in our helicopters. It out performed the AN/ASN-149 to the point I turned the system off and relied on the Garmin for over 1000 miles of the flight.
