I am going quietly mad. I fired up my Garmin III Plus this afternoon
and plugged in the airport, and behold! The airport is to my south,
and the compass needle pointed north. Then I realized that if I turned
360 degrees, the display never changed: the needle always pointed to
the bottom of the compass rose, and north was always at the top.



Does the GIII have a 'sats tracked' page? My 295 does, and it will
tell you if you are in simulator mode, Searching for a fix, 2D or 3D
fix.

Does the GIII have a moving map display? Where does it show you
(relative to the airport)?
