Garmin StreetPilot ColorMap 3.5-inch Portable GPS Navigator

Designed primarily for the automobile, the basemap data of Garmin’s StreetPilot GPS ColorMap displays exit information for the federal interstate highway system, information such as available food, lodging, and service stations. It also contains a reference basemap showing interstate, U.S., and state highways, plus rivers and lakes in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with main arterial streets shown in metropolitan areas. You can plug in optional data cards (MetroGuides) for street-level map detail, access to business listings, and points of interest in your area.

The ColorMap features a high-performance GPS receiver with 12 parallel channels for quick satellite acquisition and reliable signal reception, whether you’re under dense tree cover or surrounded by high-rise skyscrapers. The high-resolution, 16-color display makes map reading easier. The Garmin StreetPilot GPS ColorMap shows text and graphics in large type for viewing convenience, and has a screen brightness adjustment and a night mode that alter the display colors for viewing in dim ambient conditions.

Some things to know… First I want to say I am very happy with the talking SPIII. It is does a pretty good job routing and if you drive off the route it will autorecalc a new route for you. I have used numerous GPS’s in the past and this does a great job for driving (for biking or hiking I HIGHLY recommend the Garmin 12 Map, my favorite GPS).Now there are some things to know about this product however. First you get a CD that allows you to download maps from your PC to your Steetpilot. It works over either serial or USB (USB goes to a 32MB memory card that you can plug in). The CD contains maps of the US BUT… you only get to select one region of the US for free. The rest of them you must pay for from Garmin for approx $116 a shot ($291 total for the total US). You can purchase this online at Garmin’s web site and they will give you a key to open up the different regions. The base map. the one built into the Garmin, on the GPS is still “good” for the whole US but the CD give MUCH…

Best Portable Navigation, Period! Before I bought the StreetPilot III I did a lot of searching around on the internet for a GPS system for my car and all signs pointed to Garmin. I bought my StreetPilot on e-bay for a considerable amount under the retail price. I also purchased the unlock code to all the DCAs because I am going to be heading down to the South in March. I was able to purchase the Streetpilot and the unlock code for less than the lowest advertised price for the StreetPilot by its self.Does the Streetpilot III work? It is simply amazing. I thought that the screen would be a bit small but it seems the perfect size for the dash. The mapping is extremely exact; even my street, which is a dirt road, was on the basemap. The voice commands are very helpfull, especially in heavy traffic when I do not want to take my eyes off the road. The voice commands are at times are a bit misleading, though. For example, at a rotary, which the GPS refers to as a roundabout (trying to be British?), the voice sometimes…

StreetPilot III Review StreetPilot III is a keeper! After quickly entering your destination whether it is a address, city, or point of interest such as a restaurant or shopping center, in a matter of less than a minute, the GPS tells you exactly how to get there. Not only does it tell you to make left or right turns, but it will notify you for instance to “bear right in 300 feet”. What is great about the directions is that it compensates for when you are driving faster such as on the highway and tells you you have to make a turn longer beforehand. I find the antenna satisfactory for acquiring satellites in a short amount of time. If you place the GPS on the dash, it is usually no longer than a minute to acquire enough satellites to be sufficient for navigation. Sometimes when I use it while driving under heavy cover of trees, it has no problem with keeping satellite reception. The color screen is pretty good. I have had a previous GPS which was grayscale which was difficult to read…
