INTRODUCTION
About This Manual
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 which could
affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the GPS III+ is a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: For vehicular applications, it’s the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the GPS III+
to secure the GPS unit so that it will not cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do
not mount the GPS III+ over airbag panels or in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to have an
impact with it in an accident or collision. The mounting hardware provided by GARMIN is not warranted
against collision damage or the consequences thereof.
WARNING: For vehicular operations, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of the vehicle to operate
his or her vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and never
become distracted by the GPS III+ to the exclusion of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to operate the GPS
III+ while you are driving. Failure by the operator of a vehicle equipped with a GPS III+ to pay full attention
to operating the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or
collision with property damage and personal injury.
MAP ATA 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.
