Or, select a destination, and the StreetPilot III will calculate a route and display street names and turns while voice prompts tell you when to turn. Imported.The Talking Color StreetPilot III Deluxe from Garmin is like having your own personal navigator in the passenger seat. This StreetPilot III Deluxe combines the power of a 12-channel GPS receiver with a detailed base map and routing functions to get you where you need to go by the shortest, fastest route. As an added bonus, automated voice prompts from an external speaker tell you when to turn, the distance to upcoming turns, course deviation, and the distance to your final destination.

The StreetPilot III Deluxe comes with a PC cable, 128 MB data card, and USB Data Card Programmer so you can download map data from CD-ROMs. This model comes with City Navigator, which contains detailed street maps for major North American cities. Mapping software allows for automatic routing and contains information like turn restrictions. Simply enter an address or intersection, and the StreetPilot will calculate a route and provide turn-by-turn directions. Points of interest, addresses, and phone numbers are also included in the database.

This version of the Garmin StreetPilot III Deluxe offers full unlock capability of all maps for the United States and Canada. (The regular Garmin StreetPilot III comes with unlock capability for just one region.) Simply install the City Navigator CD-ROM on your PC, then enter a custom code that is included with the product box.

Other GPS features include a trip computer with odometer, timers, and average and maximum speeds. The built-in base map of North America and South America contains state and country boundaries, lakes, rivers, streams, airports, cities, towns, coastlines, state and interstate highways, local thoroughfares, and secondary roads within metro areas–plus federal interstate-highway exit information with services like food, lodging, and service stations.

    Getting Better All The Time After using the earlier Color Street Pilot for a couple years I was delighted to have the routing and talking features in this unit. I have a fair amount of experience with Lexus’ built-in GPS system as well as the Hertz Neverlost system, both of which I consider “permanently mounted”. None of these are perfect and the Talking Street Pilot certainly is a great value.Pros: Adequately accurate, adequately fast (most of the time), turn by turn instructions, audible instructions so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road, generally good routing, availability of large memory cartridges so you can keep a number of geographic areas “on line” – you can pick & choose which ones.Con: This unit seems to have trouble discerning whether it’s on the freeway or the service road, especially when first entering the freeway or driving in one of the rightmost lanes after passing a major interchange – I don’t recall experiencing this with either of the two permanently mounted…

    Great product! For several years, I have envied the owners of high end cars equipped with navigation systems. I considered getting an aftermarket in-dash system, but the price was too steep. The StreetPilot III Deluxe is just what I have been looking for. It is a reliable, well-designed, and just plain fun gadget that will please the electronics junkie and the casual user alike.The high resolution screen is gorgeous and remains clearly visible even in bright sunlight. At sundown (automatically calculated by the StreetPilot), the display switches to black and white and can still be read easily without distracting the driver. Operation is very easy once you get the hang of it. The 128 MB data card included with the deluxe version can store maps covering a radius of 500+ miles. It should be adequate for almost all trips. Programming the card is fairly easy, although the software is probably the system’s weakest link. The interface is poorly designed but functional.The system’s…
