Review of Garmin GPS III Plus by PK29 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Compact, Ease of readability
Disadvantages Battery eater

...probably every 3 hours when flying, so investing in the power cord is a must. You'll also need a Data Cable from Garmin for the specific model which works out fairly expensive after a while. Now though I use it mainly for use in my car, it's has the same functions as the 3 Plus but is alot mor precise than the non - aviation version. As a budget Moving Map GPS it don't think it can be beaten if you overlook the fact that it is nearly 10 years old and still has a black and white screen.... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

Garmin's GPS III Plus offers cartographic capabilities formerly found only in high-end automotive navigation and marine chartplotting units. Simply plug it into a PC and download an extra 1.44 MB of map data from Garmin's line of MapSource CD ROM's to give you instant detailed maps. Whether you're cruising the streets or pounding the waves, Garmin has the maps you need. Choose the U.S. Roads and Recreation CD for city street level detail and even inland marine features such as lake and river shorelines, boat ramp and marina locations. Other CD's give you worldwide coverage of coastlines, including a database of coastal cities, navaids and inland roads. Even without additional cartography, the basemap in the GPS III Plus will get you where you're going. More than 10, 000 new towns have been added to the permanent basemap, as well as airport locations, secondary roads in metro areas and even detailed exit information for the federal interstate highway system, including information about available lodging, food and service stations.
