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 grayscale 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.
