Customer Reviews Great except the battery life I've had my iQue 3600 for about 7 months now and I really like it. It's also the only gps reciever/pda I've ever used, so I can't compare it to anything, although I've read countless reviews and did a great deal of research. Setting it up wasn't bad, but if you're not computer savy you may want to get someone that is to help you out. You also will probably want to buy a SD memory card as it only comes with 32mb internal, which should be enough for maps in your local area, but for me I wanted to expand the map coverage to the surrounding states. I also wanted to make full use of the PDA and install some palm apps. I think a 128mb card would be good, but I use a 256mb. As far as the navigation is concerned, it's great. Very accurate and never gets me lost. The estimated arrival time is almost always dead on, if not a minute or 2 off. The battery life is the big problem with this unit (and the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5). It's not something you can really leave on and carry around for while without the battery draining. You also can't change the battery out. It's built in never to be replaced. So if you plan on strictly leaving this in your car (like me) then it's a good choice. Overall, if this reciever had pre-loaded maps and battery life it would be perfect, but to me those aren't very important. I highly recommend it. Well worth the $$$$ I bought the iQue 3600 Bundle several months ago now and use it every day. The unit has operated flawlessly. I've read other reviews below (with attention to others "cons" for the product). I am always curious about overall product quality and other people's experiences. Plus, I like knowing if there is a problem that I have not experienced - if I do experience it, at least I'm not surprised or disappointed. I have to say honestly that I personally have not experienced difficulty reading the screen when driving into the sun in Michigan. Additionally, I have never lost my base maps. I do agree that purchasing the SD card is important. I bought the 1GB SanDisk card from Amazon (48$ using rebate and Amazon discount offered [...]- did not see advertised at Amazon...) and have stored detailed maps of the entire mid-west, coastal areas, portions of Canada, etc. Overall, to store detailed maps of all of Canada / US requires 1.6GB... I am waiting for a 2GB card to come out! I agree that the battery life is short. My experience with PDAs is that all battery life is short. No problem when using for business; I keep it in the hot sync cradle and its on all day. Travelling w/o constant power gives you very little time to play with your device (games, etc). And the GPS really cannot be used if you are hiking. To be fair, this is not what this model was built for. In the vehicle, I keep it in the no-friction dashboard mount with constant power and have travelled on 13 hour trips. It worked without flaw, guiding me there, all through town on my stay and on the way home. The level of detail is surprising - it tried to route me on a two-track in the Upper Peninsula! I should say - more detail than I required! I simply opted to miss that turn and Garmin recalculated quickly. This has been a real gem and I wish I bought it long ago. As for the price, considering an automotive GPS is about a grand, the multiple functionality in this unit makes the price VERY reasonable. Especially when you consider a standard PDA w/o an integrated GPS is typically $300 or more. Love Garmin, Love my iQue! PS - I was missing a part for the mount; Garmin customer service was IN the USA (what a treat!!!), I did not wait on hold for more than 20 seconds before speaking with a person! They were great about the missing part (I didn't realize it until about a month after the purchase!) - I had it 2 days later. I purchased from Circuit City so the missing part was not likely Garmin's fault... Fabulous Gadget - Works GREAT 2GB holds all NA detail maps Get a high-speed 2GB SD card and you can load a WORLDWIDE basemap plus the ENTIRE CitySelect V7 DVD (detailed maps) with 200+ MB to spare! Am doing this and it works perfectly. The iqUE 3600 is beautifully designed and constructed. Highly recommended
