Other than a few very intermittent system hangups, the Garmin iQue3600 has greatly exceeded my expectations. I use it at work for PDA functionality, during my off hours for travel guidance and many other things I never I thought I would use this unit for. I've discovered there are even fun things to do such as going GeoCaching (a hobby of finding treasures hidden by other GPS users - see...
Strengths: GPS functionality, turn-by-turn voice directions, PDA functions, voice recorder -- all in one device.
Weakness: Some reliability issues and initial programming problems.
I love this device as both a Palm PDA (my first Palm OS system) and a GPS navigation system. I can now travel without printing all kinds of maps or renting a car with navigation option. The maps are excellent and, once you understand the system, fairly easy to load [but you must have an optional SD card, the larger the better, to store detailed maps]. The car kit is essential. I'm still finding...
Strengths: -Screen size and clarity. -Mapping has been flawless. -Huge database has everything in it, including phone numbers -Half the price of most other navigation systems -It's a PDA too!!
Weakness: -Application Interface is a bit tricky at first -A decent car mount will run you $70. -Need to buy additional memory card
I was skeptical when I puchased this from Buy.com. I had used a GPS system from Magellan in a rental car and was hoping it would be almost as good. I initially figured it would be not so good at either being a PDA or a navigation system. I was proven wrong. Where do I start? It's a nice Palm Pilot PDA. Colors and screen clarity are excellent. In addition, the mapping database in this unit is...
Strengths: Excellent all-in-one system. Perfect for those people looking for a PDA with GPS capabilities.
Weakness: Occ. soft resets, but they do not disrupt any data.
Reading the prior reviews, I was compelled to write one also. This unit is designed as a PDA with GPA capabilities. And Garmin did at tremenidous job jumping into the PDA arena. This unit is not designed for the outdoors, it is a PDA. With the on-dash mount that Garmin sells, it charges the battery while you drive and includes an external speaker that has plenty of volume (I have no problem...
Strengths: map software is excellent; large, bright display; Operating system is bullet-proof
Weakness: You will have to wait for a 2gb SD card before all the maps of US will fit in at once.
I have owned several other GPS devices, including Street Pilot, Garmin GPS 3+, and the NavTech system that comes standard in the Mercedes S-500. The I-que 3600 is the best GPS I could imagine. Small, lightweight, fits anywhere and has strong sattelite reception even when not directly under the windshield. Palm OS is more fault-tolerant than PocketPC, and the I-Que is more tolerant than even a...
Strengths: PDA size which slips into pocket or purse. Take unit into home or hotel and plan and enter next day's destinations. Entry can be by name, address, intersection, city, etc.
Weakness: Not designed to be used for long periods of time as "stand alone" GPS. Requires external power for extended GPS use, but battery life ok for general PDA use.
Probably best there is in Market Place. Garmin has upgraded software in Release 3 which can be downloaded at Garmin site. Now can be loaded with waterway navigation software. Also, product specific PDA chat room directs you to great freeware that allows automatic brightness control, tide chart and graphs, and speed warnings (this unit measures your travel speed and adjusts arrival time based on...
Strengths: Just one word - WOW! Exellent Voice Guidance, maps. Good price. Easy to use.
Weakness: Screen glare at day time, so I have to buy "screen protection/anti-glare film".
I love it! With this unit I don't have to go to yahoo maps any more and not just this, I don't have to look and afraid to miss road exits, i.e. perfect Voice Guidance. You have to buy optional AUTO nav kit ($54) + extra CD memory 256MB - $25. My total cost for UNIT + Auto NAV kit + 256 Memory = $509.00
Strengths: Small, easy to use, full set of travel and PC accessories available. Very detailed routing, normal PDA functions, and plays audio files.
Weakness: Battery life and as yet I have trouble using the word processing and accounting software. Would like to have expense software for taking down info on travel.
Very powerful PDA/GPS device, my first! Bright screen for maps and routing. Audio directions are what I use the most. I will never get lost again! All my geeky friends want one when I bragg and demo it for them. Buy accessories direct from GARMIN recommended.
Strengths: Compatible with Palm OS and easily loaded with my Palm personal data Excellent GPS routing, with clear color-vibrant screen, super mapping & menu options, clear voice and display instructions
Weakness: Very unstable SW, will lock up frequently when routing. Short battery life for PDA use.
Beta level software, untested, will lock up frequently, requiring full initialization. Finally, after several days, the unit locked up for good and will not turn on again. This product is prototype level, unworthy of the GARMIN name. Should not have been shippped without much more testing. Taking mine back and waiting for improved version. After 1hr 45 min wait on the phone with GARMIN tech...

GPS accessories for PDAs have been quite popular for the past few years. Now Garmin, a well known GPS manufacturer has introduced the first PDA with an integrated GPS. The iQue 3600 runs Palm OS 5, has a high res + 320 x 480 color display, an SD slot and 32 megs of RAM. Not a bad PDA to say the least, and at $589 list price, it's no more expensive than what you'd spend for a similar high end PDA...

Garmin iQUE 3600
Strengths: Great GPS at a very low price. I was able to link with my Goldmine Contact management software with no problems.
Weakness: The travel navigation sand bag tends to slide around on the dashboard. Dislpay could be a little brighter in day light.
Regarding the Travel Kit for the car, I have attached velcro to the inside of my vents on top of the dash. Doing it this way, you do not see any velcro pieces attached to your dashboard. I have then run a strap to help hold the Travel kit in place. I don't know if you can develope a cradle to attach to either vents or the rear view mirror. All in all great device. The 32 meg of memory is not...
