This review is from: Garmin Gps III [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Throughout this video, the producers keep chanting the phrase "Refer to the manual". I agree - you should refer to the Garmin GPS III+ user's manual and skip this video. My reasons for this are as follows:

- very few of the GPS's features are explored, and of those that are covered, there is not enough depth.

- the computer interface is briefly mentioned but not described in any detail. Again, the viewer is referred to the manual.

- the video is rather short and is lacking in essential detail.

I gave this video two (2) stars because it does show you how to use the built-in simulator mode fairly well and, during the brief video, they associate the buttons you need to push and the screens you will see with the instructions. If they had spent 30 - 45 more minutes covering all the key features, I probably would have given this video a four star rating...
