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.

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-

ITY FOR AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION.

Introduction

Map Data

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.

Driving Instructions

The Map Page is the main operating page of the StreetPilot III. It graphically shows you map details, your current location, and marks your route to a destination with a magenta colored route line. It tells you what direction to go or the direction you are traveling. It tells you your speed, the distance you have traveled, or the distance to the next turn, and the time remaining before reaching the next turn. If the StreetPilot III has yet to calculate your location, there is a fl ashing question mark over the vehicle pointer and the status text displays, ‘Acquiring Satellites’.

The map display shows your present position and direction of movement as a triangular ‘Position

Icon’ in the center of the map. The map display also shows the map scale and geographic details such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns. You can use the IN and OUT keys to change the map scale to show more map area with less detail, or less map area with more detail. Press and hold to zoom the map scale rapidly.

The map can be displayed in a ‘square’ or

‘wide’ confi guration for custom viewing. The square confi guration is shown to the left, the wide confi guration is shown above. Both show Navigation

Information. For maximum map display, you can select

‘Full Screen Map’. This section of the manual discusses how to select between the displays.

Reference

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.

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 displayed on the map except route lines and track log data. When a waypoint name is highlighted, you can review information about the waypoint, list waypoint options, or execute a ‘Route to It’ directly from the Map Page.

Reference

The Map Page

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

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.

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).

OM REV B.indd

16 6/28/01, 9:42 AM

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

The third main page is the Trip Information Page. If you are making a long trip, you will fi nd the

Trip Information Page very useful. It indicates your current speed and many helpful statistics about your trip. The following are useful suggestions to aid in maximizing the use of the Trip Information

Page:

Be certain to reset the Trip Computer before beginning the trip. Instructions on resetting will follow.

If you make frequent stops, leave the StreetPilot III powered on and receiving satellites. This will allow the unit to accurately measure elapsed time during the trip. However, some vehicles disconnect power to the cigarette lighter when the ignition is turned off. In order to continue receiving satellites, use batteries and the cigarette lighter adapter for your trip. When external power is removed, the unit will then ask, with a screen prompt, if it can use the batteries when vehicle power is not available.

The following trip information is displayed on the Trip Information Page:

Driving Status Information - Displayed at the top of the page. Shows the next intersection (the crossroad name) or exit (if you are on an interstate) if one is approaching. Otherwise it tells you what road you are on.

Speed - This is the current vehicle speed.

Odometer - A running total of distance traveled, based upon the distance between second-by-second location readings, since the Trip Computer was last reset.

Current Direction - Displayed to the right of the speed.

Power/Battery - Displayed to the left of the odometer. If the StreetPilot III is using internal AA batteries, a battery strength bar is shown (above the bar is a label, Battery Power). Notice the shaded area of the bar. The farther right the shading extends, the more battery power remaining. When operating on batteries, the bar and the label turn red when power is low (20% or less). When operating from an external power source, a power plug symbol is shown along with the label, External Power.

GPS Information Page

The GPS Information Page provides a visual reference of GPS receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver status, and position accuracy. As the StreetPilot III locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar will appear for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite number (from

01-32) underneath each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:

• No Signal Strength Bar- the receiver is looking for the satellite(s) indicated. The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is not highlighted.

• Hollow Signal Strength Bar- the receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data.

• Solid Signal Strength Bar- the receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s) is ready for use. The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is highlighted.

Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (hollow signal strength bar, as described above) before that satellite may be used for navigation (solid signal strength bar). Once a fi x has been calculated, the StreetPilot III will then update your position, ground track, and ground speed by selecting and using the best satellites in view.

Sky View and Signal Strength Bars

The sky view and signal strength bars give you an indication of what satellites are currently visible, which satellites are being used to calculate a position fi x, and the signal quality. The sky view shows a “bird’s eye” view of each satellite’s position relative to the unit’s last known position. The outer circle represents the horizon in all directions (with cardinal heading references). The inner circle represents an elevation of 45° above the horizon. Any satellite depicted near the center is directly overhead. You can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites are being blocked, and whether you have a current position fi x (indicated by ‘2D Navigation’ or ‘3D Navigation’ in the status fi eld). You can also set the sky view to a ‘Track Up’ confi guration (instead of ‘North Up’), causing the top of the sky view to align to your current track heading.

Reference


A hollow bar (number 17) indicates the receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data.

Solid bars indicate the receiver has collected the necessary information and the satellite is ready for use.

‘Acquiring Sats’ means the receiver is collecting data from available satellites but has not collected enough data to calculate a position fi x.

Receiver Status

As soon as the StreetPilot III has collected the necessary data to calculate a fi x, the status fi eld will indicate a 2D or 3D status. (For ‘2D’, you may need to enter your elevation. Receiver status is indicated at the top left corner of the page. The status will be shown as one of the following conditions:

Searching Sky- the StreetPilot III is looking for any available satellites in view.

AutoLocate- the StreetPilot III is initializing and collecting new almanac data. This process can take up to fi ve minutes, depending on the satellites currently in view.

Acquiring- the receiver is collecting data from available satellites, but has not collected enough data to calculate a position fi x.

2D Navigation- at least three satellites with good geometry have been locked onto and a twodimensional position fi x (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. ‘2D Diff’ will appear when you are receiving DGPS corrections with a two-dimensional position.

3D Navigation- at least four satellites with good geometry have been locked onto, and your position is now being calculated in latitude, longitude and elevation. ‘3D Diff’ will appear when you are receiving

DGPS corrections with a three-dimensional position.

Poor GPS Coverage- the receiver isn’t tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fi x due to bad satellite geometry or due to a shaded antenna (driving between buildings, etc.)

Not Usable- the receiver is unusable, possibly due to incorrect initialization or abnormal satellite conditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset, and reinitialize the receiver if necessary.

GPS is Off- the unit is being used indoors and cannot be used for navigation. When the unit is being used indoors, battery life is saved since the GPS receiver is turned off.

‘GPS Is Off’ tells you the unit is being used indoors and cannot be used for navigation.

‘Poor Satellite Reception’ Menu

If no satellites are received for several minutes (or an insuffi cient number of satellites are received to determine a position fi x) a message will appear, prompting you to update your approximate location or turn off the GPS for indoor use. Updating your approximate location will ensure the StreetPilot III is searching for the correct satellites, and is useful if you have traveled over 500 miles with the unit turned off. If the unit has been stored without batteries and the displayed date is incorrect, the StreetPilot III will not know the current positions of the GPS satellites. Selecting ‘Stored w/o Batteries’ will tell the unit to search for any satellites that it can fi nd.

The ‘Poor Satellite Reception’ prompt may appear when you fi rst use your StreetPilot III. The prompt may also appear during normal use if the antenna is shaded or when the unit is used indoors.

Accuracy

The GPS Information Page indicates the accuracy of the position fi x. See Appendix E for the

StreetPilot III performance specifi cations which include accuracy.

Reference


The ‘Poor Satellite Reception’ Menu gives you several options when an insuffi cient number of satellites are received to determine a position fi x.

GPS Information Page Options

To display the GPS Information Page Options, press

MENU

(with the GPS Information Page displayed). The following Options are available:

• Track Up

• New Elevation

• New Location

Track Up- changes the sky view display from ‘North Up’ orientation to align to current direction of travel (ground track). If ‘Track Up’ is selected, ‘North Up’ will appear as an option instead.

To change the sky view orientation:

1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight ‘Track Up’ (or ‘North Up’) and press ENTER.

New Location- forces the StreetPilot III to search for any available satellite to determine its position.

This option is useful if you’ve relocated a long distance (greater than 500 miles) from the last location the StreetPilot III was used. In such instances, without initialization, the StreetPilot III may otherwise be looking for the wrong group of satellites.

To select New Location, highlight ‘New Location’ and press ENTER.

New Elevation- allows you to designate your approximate elevation, when the StreetPilot III is acquiring satellites or navigating within a two-dimensional position. By default, 2D navigation will attempt to use the last known elevation. If the elevation shown is off by several hundred feet (or more), manually entering your approximate elevation will enable the receiver to more accurately determine a position fi x.

To enter an elevation:

1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to Highlight ‘New Elevation’ and press ENTER.

2. Enter your approximate elevation using the ROCKER KEYPAD, and press ENTER.

Routing File Tab

The Routing Tab allows you to customize the routing features of the StreetPilot III.

Route Preference—Determines what criteria are used for fi nding the route to your destination. The following options are available:

• Faster Time: This setting causes time to be used as the criteria for calculating your route. The routes calculated with this setting will be faster to drive but may be longer in distance.

• Shorter Distance: This setting causes distance to be used as the criteria for calculating your route. The routes calculated with this setting will be shorter in distance but may take more time to drive.

• Off Road: This setting causes your route to be a direct line from you to your destination. This may be useful outside of detailed map coverage areas.

Reference

System Setup

The ‘Ask Me My Preference’ setting can also be changed from the Routing File Tab.

Calculation Method—Allows you to control how thoroughly the StreetPilot III searches for the perfect route. There is a trade-off here between the length of time it takes to fi nd a route and the quality of that route (or how close to the ideal route as determined by your Route Preference setting). The following options are available:

•Quickest Calculation: This will give you the fastest results, minimizing the time you have to wait.

•Best Route: This will cause route calculations to take somewhat longer, but you will get the best route.

Using the ‘Calculate Routes For’ option allows you to take full advantage of the routing information contained in the City Navigator Maps for planning the most effi cient route for your type of vehicle.

System Setup

U-Turns can be avoided when planning your route.

Routes can be calculated for emergency-type vehicles.

Ask Me My Preference—Determines whether or not you will be prompted before route calculations to allow you to change your current Route Preference (Faster, Shorter, or Off Road). This setting can also be changed from Yes to No from the Route Preference page. The following options are available:

• Yes: This setting results in the Route Preference page being displayed before route calculations. If you frequently have a different preference for your routes, this is the setting you want.

• No: This setting skips the Route Preference page before route calculations. The StreetPilot III will use your current Route Preference for all route calculations. If you usually have the same preference for your routes, this is the setting you want.

Calculate Routes For—Lets you take full advantage of the routing information built into the City

Navigator maps. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions associated with them. For example, a street or gate may be accessible by emergency vehicles only. Or a residential street may not allow commercial trucking traffi c. By specifying what vehicle type you are driving, you can avoid getting routed somewhere that you cannot legally go. Likewise, it may give you access to roads or turns that wouldn’t be available to normal traffi c. The following options are available:

• Car/Motorcycle: Self-explanatory.

• Truck: Large semi-tractor/trailer.

• Bus: Self-Explanatory.

• Emergency: Ambulance, Fire, Police, etc.

• Taxi: Self-Explanatory.

• Delivery: Delivery Vehicles

• Bicycle: This will restrict you from taking interstates and major highways.

Avoid - Let’s you avoid certain things that may be undesirable in your route.

U-Turns: If checked, the StreetPilot III will not tell you to make a u-turn unless absolutely necessary.

Toll roads: If checked, the StreetPilot III will avoid entering toll roads, but will do so if the alternatives take you too far out of your way.

Highways: If checked, the StreetPilot III will avoid interstates and major highways, but will do so if the alternatives take you too far out of your way.

Time File Tab

Time Format - Allows you to choose from a 12 or 24 hour time format. When you select the 12 hour time format, the clock will read like a standard clock with 12 hour AM and PM cycles. The 24 hour option sets the clock to display a 24 hour cycle (Military Time).

Time Zone - Can be set to one of the U.S. Time Zones, or by selecting ‘Other’ you can enter the

UTC Time Offset for any other time zone. Refer to the instructions for setting UTC Time Offset and the Time Offset Chart on page 55.

Daylight Savings Time - Can be turned On or Off or set to Automatic.

Current Date and Current Time Are determined by the satellites being received and can not be changed.
