Garmin GPS III Pilot, among the best

Have you heard about the hero pilot named Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III? I guess you do because he managed to save all his passengers on board when he calmly and intelligently ditches his plane safely at the Hudson river. This guy is definitely one of best pilot in the world.

Ok, now lets talk about one of the world's best aviation handheld GPS, the Garmin GPS III Pilot.

The Garmin III Pilot is a pilot friendly handheld aviation GPS. It is considered one of the world's best aviation handhelds. It is light as it weighs only about 9-ounce yet it is an extraordinary GPS that can be used in different ways. Its two-way display can be used in a horizontal "heads-up" configuration atop the glare shield of any aircraft or, with a simple push of a button it can be changed to a vertical display for use on the yoke or in the palm of your hand. The GPS III Pilot is easy to use in either the landscape or portrait mode. Likewise its fluid scrolling rocker keypad and dedicated function keys allow you to navigate through its user friendly operating software.

Its impressive 3D graphic turns your flight plan into a highway in the sky and the Garmin's proprietary 12 parallel channel receiver provides fast satellite acquisition and locking to give you the finest accuracy possible under the toughest maneuvers and conditions. The GPS III Pilot's basemap is installed with Jeppesen data that shows airports, cities, highways, SUAs, railroads, rivers, and lakes with the kind of detail only available from a gray scale display.

It doesn't matter if you want it mounted or handheld, primary or backup navigation, Americas or International configuration, vertical or horizontal orientation, there's simply nothing that compares with the Garmin III Pilot's versatility.
