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 in the United States, Canada and Mexico (no exit data for Mexico), 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. With downloaded maps from the MapSource City Navigator CD-ROM, StreetPilot III provides turn-by-turn guidance down to residential street-level detail.

About This Manual

Make sure you take the time to read the Quick Start Guide ﬁ rst to get acquainted with all of the basic features of the StreetPilot III. After you have read the Quick Start Guide, you can read through this owner’s manual in order to understand the operating features of the StreetPilot III in detail. This manual is organized into three sections for your convenience. The Introduction Section provides FCC and safety information and the table of contents. The Reference Section provides details about all of the features of the StreetPilot III, organized by topic. The Appendices contain information on items such as accessories, speciﬁ cations, and an index organized by subject.

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 containing 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.

Introduction

Warnings and Cautions

Your StreetPilot III is equipped with a ‘Safe Mode’ feature to improve driver safety. By default, this feature is enabled, but can be turned off to allow a passenger to operate the unit. When

your vehicle is moving, Safe Mode disables certain StreetPilot III functions which require

signiﬁ cant operator attention and may become a distraction to use while driving. See page 46 for details.

Safety Warnings and Cautions—Read This First!

WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the StreetPilot III to place and secure the GPS unit so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do not mount the StreetPilot III over airbag panels or in the ﬁ eld of airbag deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path towards the vehicle driver or passengers causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle owner’s manual. Do not mount the StreetPilot III in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an accident or collision. The mounting hardware provided by GARMIN is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.

WARNING: When used in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the StreetPilot III to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the StreetPilot III while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a StreetPilot III to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and personal injury.

Do Not Mount Where Driver’s Field of Vision is Blocked

Do Not Place Unsecured on the Vehicle Dash

Do Not Mount in Front of Airbag Panels

Do Not Mount in Front of an Airbag Field of Deployment

CAUTION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes 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 copyright 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.

CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A TRAVEL AID AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCATION, OR TOPOGRAPHY. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED TO DETERMINE GROUND PROXIM-

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.

The Map Page

Clear driving instructions are displayed when you are navigating a route.

Your vehicle speed can be displayed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.

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 an ‘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.

Map Page Navigation Information

The following navigation information can be displayed on the Map Page:

Current Direction (N, S, E, or W) - Cardinal letters indicate the direction you are traveling when not navigating a route. This is not displayed when you are navigating.

Direction To Go (Arrow) - An arrow that points to the next turn in the route when moving on an active route.

Speed - Your rate of travel which can be displayed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.

Distance To Go - When navigating a Route, the distance remaining to reach the next turn will be

displayed. When not navigating a Route, this ﬁ eld is not displayed.

Time To Go - When navigating a Route, the time to go before reaching the next turn is displayed. When not navigating a Route, the time for the current time zone is displayed in either 12 or 24 hour format.

Driving Instructions - Given in text format only when you are navigating a route. When you are not navigating, the next intersection is displayed.

Zooming, Panning and Pointing

There are three main actions you can perform on the Map Page: zooming, panning, and pointing. The map display has 24 map scales (from 120 feet to 800 miles) which are selected by pressing the IN and OUT zoom keys. The current map scale is indicated in the bottom left corner of the map display.

To change the map scale:

1. Press the IN zoom key to see a smaller area with more detail.

2. Press the OUT zoom key to see a larger area with less detail.

When zoomed in to smaller map areas, ‘overzoom’ appears directly below the map scale. This indicates the current scale exceeds the optimum resolution of available map detail. Extra caution should be used in ‘overzoom’ since some detail, such as roads, are drawn using widely spaced points and the actual layout of these details may differ from the map presentation.

The Map Page showing the panning arrow and a highlighted map feature or point of interest.

Panning allows you to move the map in order to view areas beyond the current map area. This provides a ‘look ahead’ capability which is particularly useful with smaller map areas. To pan, use the ROCKER KEYPAD to move the map in any direction, including diagonally. Once you are ﬁ nished with panning, you can quickly remove the panning arrow and re-center the map on your present position by pressing the QUIT key.

As you begin to pan the map, a pointer appears. This map pointer will serve as a target marker for the map. If you change the scale, the map is redrawn with the pointer at the center. When the pointer is placed on an object, the name of that object will be highlighted. (If the name wasn’t originally displayed, it will appear when the pointer is placed on the object.) This feature applies to everything

Once the ‘Waypoint Created’ Page appears, the waypoint is stored in memory.

The ‘Waypoint Created’ Page appears with a default three digit number for its name which can be changed to something a little more meaningful (up to 10 characters in length).

To select an on-screen location with the panning pointer:

1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight the desired item.

2. To view information for the selected item, press ENTER.

3. To exit the information pages, press QUIT.

The ‘Route to It’ function can be used anywhere on the map. If nothing currently exists at the map pointer position, a new waypoint will be created at the pointer’s location before the ‘Route to It’ is started. You can also create a waypoint on the Map Page without selecting it as a ‘Route to It’ destination.

To create a new waypoint from the Map Page:

1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to point to the desired location on the map and press ENTER brieﬂ y. A ‘Waypoint Created Page’ will appear, with an auto-assigned name (3-digit number) for the waypoint.

2. You can delete the waypoint, show it on the map, or Route to It. Select the desired option and press ENTER.

Once you are ﬁ nished with panning, you can quickly remove the panning arrow and re-center

the map on your present position by pressing the QUIT key.

To mark your current location on the Map Page and save as a waypoint:

1. Press and hold the ENTER key for approximately two seconds. A ‘ Waypoint Marked’ page will appear with a pre-assigned name, symbol, position and elevation for the new waypoint. When the ‘Waypoint Marked Page’ appears, the waypoint is marked.

2. The StreetPilot III will automatically assign a three-digit number as the waypoint name, but you may select any name you want, up to ten characters in length. To change the name, highlight the identiﬁ er ﬁ eld, press ENTER and use the ROCKER KEYPAD to enter the desired waypoint name. Press ENTER once all characters for the waypoint name have been entered.

3. To select a different waypoint symbol, which will appear on the map, highlight the symbol ﬁ eld and press ENTER. A list of available symbols will appear. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the desired symbol and press ENTER.

4. You can route to the waypoint, show it on the map page, or delete it. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the option you desire and press ENTER.

Routing to a Map Feature or Location

1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to move the arrow to the desired feature or location on the map.

2. Press ENTER to display detailed information about the item.

3. To route to the location on the map, select ‘Route to It’ on the information page for that item and press ENTER. The ROUTE preference window appears. Select Faster Time, Shorter Distance, or Off Road, and press ENTER. The StreetPilot III will route you to the selected destination using turn-by-turn navigation and voice prompting.
