The GPS III Pilot takes its
place among the world's best aviation handhelds. This
9-ounce wonder has the same pilot-friendly operations of
the Garmin® GPS 90 and the mapping details of Garmin's
GPSMAP 195. Yet the extraordinary GPS III Pilot occupies
a unique position—or, actually, two positions. The GPS
III Pilot's two-way display can be used in a horizontal
"heads-up" configuration atop the glare shield
of any aircraft—or, with the push of a button, can be
changed to a vertical display for use on the yoke or in
the palm of your hand.
The GPS III Pilot's basemap with Jeppesen data shows
airports, SUAs, cities, highways, railroads, rivers, and
lakes with the kind of detail only available from a
4-level gray scale display. A 3D graphic turns your
flightplan into a highway in the sky, and Garmin's
proprietary 12 parallel channel receiver gives you fast
satellite acquisition and stays locked on to provide the
finest accuracy possible under the toughest conditions
or maneuvers.The GPS III Pilot is easy to use in either
the portrait or landscape mode, while fluid scrolling
from the rocker keypad and dedicated function keys allow
you to fly through its pilot-friendly operating
software.
So, no matter how you view the GPS III
Pilot—handheld or mounted, primary or backup
navigation, Americas or International configuration,
vertical or horizontal orientation—there's simply
nothing that compares.
