Street Pilot III

[+oldfred]

After reading everything posted on GPS units I had to decide between the GPS V and the Pilot.

Boy am I happy with the Pilot.

I went from Atlanta to Biloxi (had to donate to the casinos so they can stay open !) and the Pilot is INCREDABLE on a trip.

 

Got back home and finally started casching and it works really well as a handheld unit.

Anyone thinking about one won't go wrong if the price doesn't stop you.

OLDFRED :rolleyes

I took the plunge with a gpsmap 176c, I would of loved to get the streetpilot, but it was out of my budget, I've also tried to brag about my 176c,

I got alot of comments that I'll need to bring a wheelbarrow and a backpack full of "AA" batteries

etc. But nothing beats the color screen, data cards, and the waypoint memory, I lack autorouting, but I can do it on my pc, and download to my unit.It works. We have many features others don't!! I have every accessory, car/marine stuff, I use it both ways. Other units

can't switch up!! Ha Ha. I also use mine for caching, It's almost like cheating, but it still

only gets me within 30 feet or so. Have fun with your new toy!!!!

It WILL work, but it is kind of big and the battery life isn't very good. I have a SPIII that I totally LOVE, but when I get out of the car I switch to my GPSMAP76.

 

By the way, no one really doesn't like your 176c! They just took your comments about the 5 the wrong way!

 

The reason I wouldn't want to take my SPIII out caching is that I'd be afraid of scratching that great screen! You can't easily drop it in your pocket when the terrain gets a little rough, etc.

 

Just my $0.02.

Hi,

I am thinking of purchasing the StreetPilot III for my husband for Christmas. The ones I've seen are about $1,000. Any suggestions on where to buy?

My dad picked one up from here and he loves it....

They seem to have the best price on the SPIII...even better than "used" ones on Amazon.com

Thanks Stunod and Trinigen - I checked the web site and it is definitely the lowest price I've seen. I'm going to order it tonight. Thanks again.
