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 Pilot 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 Pilot

to secure the GPS unit so that it will not cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. For auto-

motive use, do not mount the GPS III Pilot 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 conditions at all times, and never become

distracted by the GPS III Pilot to the exclusion of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to operate the GPS III

Pilot while flying or driving. Failure by the operator of a vehicle equipped with a GPS III Pilot to pay full atten-

tion to operating the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion could result in an accident.
