PDAs : Garmin iQue 3600

great features for a pda, but it is incredibly delicate and will break almost immediately.
the charging cradle breaks on the first or second use.
The auto nav charging cradle breaks on the second use.
Garmin has incredible support thou, and mailed me replacements-both of which don't work-new out of the box.
Do buy the 512-1gig sd card, it has NO MEMORY for anything other than your immediate location. Unfortuntely, when you do add the larger capapcity card, it takes the garmin unit a very long time to display the maps for it.
It does work well thou. If you have a few minutes to wait for your maps and routing, it is a very neat toy!

be careful when downloading palm software, it doesn't work correctly with this unit. Hide Full Review

This PDA GPS modual is the best that i have had, having it for two weeks and still can't get enough of it..... Amust buy for those who get lost easily or who travels alot. However, A big SD card is neceesary if you wnat this Pda for work at its fullest ability. and the auto navigation kit is definately a neccessity, as this machine drains its power when in its gps mode Hide Full Review

I ordered the Garmin Ique 3600 from internet which was from a company called "Digital Foto Discount Club" on 1/2/04. My order number was 30123531. The reason I ordered this product is mainly for my wife's birthday, so I was paid for extra shipping charge to get a 2nd day UPS delivery which costs extra $15 instead of standard shipping. I was paitently waited to get this merchandise to be delivered, but UPS came in on 1/14/04, but My wife's birthday is on 1/8/04. However, I immediatly opened the outter box and I found out the Garmin product was an "OPENED BOX" (I don't care if it's a opened box or not as long as it works). I plugged in the power as saying in the instruction manual. I charged it for 1 full hour, but still no power and no screen, therefore, I called the next day to "Digital Foto Club" and the customer care named "Anna" at 800-221-0828 X 421 told me that there is no return policy, and they will not take back the product for credit or exchange. She told me to send it back to Garmin instead. I clearly told her that this is a USED AND OPENED BOX item, but she said she didn't care. I was very angry and disspointed about their service and irresponsible, therefore, I called my credit card company to dispute this charge.
This is a painful experience for me. I think "Digital Foto Club" shipped me a USED and DOA product. I suggest everyone SHOULD NOT buy this product, especially from "Digital Foto Club" .
p.s. check their website at: www.digitalfotoclub.com and check their warranty and return policy then you will know what I am talking about (ALL ITEM ARE FINAL).

As someone that recently moved to a new metropolitan area and gets lost frequently this has been absolutely the best investment! It has given me a chance to relax and enjoy the traffic, people and scenery without having to do risky things like try to thumb through pages on a map, or cross 4 lanes on the beltway to get to the exit I just saw. If you hit traffic or miss your exit, just let the iQUE talk you through the next best path. I even use it when I take the subway and need to navigate on foot to the final destination.
To get the full value you MUST get the Auto NAV kit and at least the 256 MB SD chip.
Everyone I show this to is amazed and wants to get one for their spouse (unless techno-phobic) and their are folks that need to have the security of a 8 1/2" x 11" 3 ring binder Hide Full Review

Great PDA. I have owned this for about 2 weeks now and can't get enought of it. All the features you need if you travel a lot. One must read the manual to fully understand how everything operates. After that, it is relatively simple to navigate through the screens. The GPS system is great and comapres to my sister-in-laws $2K system in her car. And it only cost about a third of what she paid for it. Definetly not just a PDA, but a gadget as well. Mp3 player works nicely as well. Pricey, but well worth it. Great job GARMIN! Hide Full Review
