Street Pilot III Delux

[RJ2]

Got the Street Pilot III delux version --It is incredible. The price dropped from 1200 to $695. They also give you the new mapsource($199), a 128 MEG card($299), a bean bag mount ($40 ),

extra hard mount. They are not mentioning this deal as of yesterday on the garmin site. It is certainly going to **** off the

previous buyers. You can get them direct order from circuit city,for 995 but I found mine at GPS.com , (Garmins largest distributor)

for $695 . Thanks to the TDR person that back in April told me to wait till the end of June because something was happening

at Garmin. I cannot fool this thing, and it recalculates your routes on wrong turns so quick . It speaks to you on upcoming turns.

I still enjoy getting lost with torn up/out of date maps!!

Does that thing do well for Off-Road applications also or is it just for the paved roads.



For @700 bucks it better drive for me too... .

I'm thinking of getting the same thing. I have a friend with one and the display is very easy to read in comparison to others I have seen. I would also be interested in how it performs off-road.

As far as off road it will show your position and heading in relation to roads, bodys of water. You can back out from feet to 800 miles.

RJ2 - Will the Garmin work on a boat? Do they have different databases besides streets? Can it be used as a handheld? How do you like it? Got a picture of it mounted in your truck yet? Sorry for all the questions, but I thought I'd get them all out of the way at once. Thanks.

I also have one ?

Is the streetpilot setup the way that RJ2 is referring to also called " UNLOCKED "?If so they have been going for $750 on e-bay

RJ2-



I tried the website you listed. GPS.com. It redirects to some other site. Could you check and let us know? The cheapest place I know of right now is gpscity.com but they still want $779. 95. Thanks for the info.



Dave.

The link is GPSDiscount.com The capital letters have to be exact. I have just been informed by the wife that the total for the unit was $779. Sorry about that guys. They are an

authorized Garmin dealer. Sent a tee shirt also.

We would like to see it mounted in your truck and how. Can you take some pictures for us?

Right now it is on the bean bag mount , which is really nice.

I will mount it on a hard mount to get it off the dash,but have to order the remote antenna wire.

No, they don't. Domain names are case-insensitive. The following are all equivalent:

GPSDiscount.com

gpsdiscount.com

GPSDISCOUNT. COM

GpSdIsCoUnT. CoM



The portion of a URL AFTER the domain name (e. g. the "forums" part of www . turbodieselregister . com/forums/) MAY be case-sensitive - it would depend on the server.
