Garmin iQue 3600 Car GPS Receiver

Pros: will orient any traveler, good directory of locations, good screen size

Cons: long time to synch sometimes, data can get old, short battery life

The Bottom Line: This is a wonder GPS unit to take with you wherever you travel. Easy to read and use, it gets you where you want to be.

Review: A couple years ago my friend started working for Garmin as a technical writer. When my husband found this out he got really excited because that meant she could get an employee discount on products, for us. After researching a few of the gps products ...

Pros: Integrated Palm PDA, color display, speed, flexibility

Cons: Short battery lifetime, complexity

The Bottom Line: If you're a current or potential Palm PDA user, the iQue 3600 is a fine choice--not as featureful as current devices, but the GPS receiver is a real bonus

Review: (This is a "late" review in that it's been discontinued. One of my favorite price-saving strategies is to wait patiently for discontinued but otherwise useful gadgets and buy tham at rock-bottom prices.) The iQue 3600, like any PDA-based GPS receiver, ...

Pros: Fantastic integration between a GPS and a PDA, well worth it.

Cons: Not waterproof, a few other minor things, see the review

The Bottom Line: Bottom line, try one, you'll like it. If you like it, you'll buy it and not be sorry!

Review: It was the bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, down by 3 and the bases are loaded. Up steps Garmin and hits a home run! I mean it. This PDA/GPS combination is the neatest thing since sliced bread! Its list of features is as impressive as is its execution of those ...

Pros: Performances as good (if not better than the 2610), excellent PDA performance, Price, SIZE!

Cons: Needs additional accessories (memory cards, mounting unit) to be fully functional in vehicle.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for the cutting edge in portable GPS equipment, then this is your answer! Garmin is set to be the benchmark for all other integrated units.

Review: Note: This is a re-post due to account changes. The Garmin iQue 3600 is the world's first integrated PDA/GPS combo system. I purchased it as a Christmas gift to myself this year. After looking and looking for the "perfect GPS unit" for my vehicle, I ...

Pros: An outstanding device which bundles a PDA, GPS, and voice recorder into one small package!

Cons: Short battery life and fairly steep initial learning curve.

The Bottom Line: Essentially Garmin hits one out of the ballpark with this device!

Review: After owning several Palm Pilots, filling them up, finding that my 4,500 addresses (literally) slow down the processor and finding that I often needed a couple of other functions other than just a PDA, Garmin comes through again with another winner! ...

Pros: combining PDA and GPS is a very clever idea, only $300!

Cons: has some limitations, you have to learn them to use it well

The Bottom Line: Highly functional unit. One of few combined PDA/GPS gizmos. Some folks complaining about this should have gotten a stand alone unit, as this is not for everyone.

Review: OK, my wife had 2 items on her Santa list: new PDA to replace her ancient one, and GPS unit for her car, as she gets lost easily. Initially I thought I would have to spent at least $1000, but then I learned about Ique. $300 would buy a new one ...

Pros: So easy to use all the features it is dumbfounded many people!

Cons: If you dont have one yet GET ONE NOW and don't walk,,,RUN!

The Bottom Line: BUY THIS UNIT NOW AND DONT HESITATE! It is the one unit that will do almost anything you need except your laundry!

Review: Let me give you my history. I am a 48 year old male who had a problem and ended up with amnesia. Now I had to learn alot of things over again but navigation around my home town of Tampa Fl was made so easy it was rediculous that it is hardly worth ...

Pros: Easy to use, lots of features, very reliable.

Cons: Need to keep brightness level low when looking to conserve the battery charge.

The Bottom Line: Get this product if you leave your house to do anything. Really.

Review: I did a lot of research before buying. Hands-down this is the best GPS for the money and features I could find and it took very little time to get used to using it. Buy a 256 MB flash card ($40-$60) and the car kit (~$40) and you will be set. This ...

Pros: gps, mp3, palm

Cons: slight learning curve

Review: is now complete. I have had mine for the last 3 years with no problems at all. She keeps my travel schedule on the palm softwatre and never makes an address mistake. Keeps me efficient and saves me gas and time. Although you might find a slight learning ...

Pros: Very Portable, Overall Works Well,

Cons: Battery Life, No Mac Support, Small Memory

Review: After reading some very negative reviews I was a bit leery about purchasing this unit. I drive from Boston, to New York to DC and also need to travel to San Francisco and Atlanta. I found the Street Pilot to large to lug around on a flight and was ...
