Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin GPS III Waterproof Hiking GPS
Customer Review: Very good GPS package!
Summary: 4 Stars
The Garmin GPS III+ is a very competent performer, and has worked well in any kind of weather, even on the dash of my truck! It is very sturdy, and I frequently use it mounted on the handle of my bicycle with no trouble. It's built in maps are sufficient for most travel applications, unless you do a lot of secondary road travel, then you will need to buy the CD and download the detailed maps. My only complaint with this unit is the size of the screen. It is very hard to make out detailed locations on the screen while traveling. I find that if I'm in a pinch, I'll have to stop somewhere to really look closely at the unit. Other than that, it is a fine performer! I would recommend the 12V power adapter cord with this unit as battery life is good, but it will use up 4 in a 10 hour day.Customer Review: This was my first GPS
Summary: 4 Stars
This GPS has been mounted on the dash of my Explorer for well over a year. Being my first GPS this one has always been my favorite, but the small amount of RAM is a bit of a problem for me these days. I typically use the MAPs from the ROM, but I also have several regions loaded from Garmin's Roads and Recreation CD--though not as many as I'd actually like. The features on this unit are great and the screen is very visible. With the bean bag mount, you can position the screen for the available lighting without any trouble. If you're thinking of taking this hiking, I would recommend the eMAP (8 Meg of RAM) or the ETrex Summit (better outdoor features). For heads up vehicle navigation, the GPS III is the best choice.Customer Review: Para usarlo en Chile, Perú y Argentina
Summary: 4 Stars
El mapa que viene en ROM de Chile, Peru y Argentina (y probablemente del resto de países fuera de USA) es muy pobre y desactualizado. La pantalla de mapa es muy pequeña y difícil (y peligrosa) de seguir mientras es esta en viaje. Si tienes un Garmin II+, y vives en Latinoamérica, espera nuevos modelos, pues del II+ al III+ no es tan espectacular. El mapa por su corto tamaño, es solo un bonito juguete. Si es tu primer GPS, es una muy buena elección. Si lo vas a usar en automovil, más que pegarlo con velcro, compra la base especialmente diseñada para tal efecto. En el sitio de garmin están todos los manuales en pdf.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!
