What are the differences between the GPS V and the StreetPilot III?
A. Although the GPS V and StreetPilot III both provide autorouting capabilities, there are many other important similarities and differences between these units. The StreetPilot III utilizes a proprietary, removable flash data card that is available in 8 to 128 MB to store detailed maps. The GPS V uses internal flash memory (19 MB) for the same purpose. Both units come with detailed street-level mapping software (MapSource City Navigator for the StreetPilot III and MapSource City Select for the GSP V) which allows you to view mapping detail on your computer, real-time track, mark waypoints, view track logs, select and download maps, and much more. Both units are also equipped with built-in, permanent basemaps that cannot be altered. These basemaps come in a variety of global designations (i.e., Atlantic basemap). Please see your local dealer when purchasing a Garmin mapping unit to ensure that you purchase one with a basemap that’s appropriate for your location and needs. Factory-insta
