    iq3600 great, but flawed too

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 30, 2003 | 25 out of 28 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: lots of useful features

    Cons: unit breaks very easily-right out of the box

    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 re...placements-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. Read more Less

    TERRIBLE PRODUCT AND BAD SERVICE

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 16, 2004 | 9 out of 15 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: Dead On Arrival when I received the good

    Cons: PAINFUL EXPERIENCE WITH "Digital Foto Club"

    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 e...xtra 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).Paul Read more Less

    Best Overall PDA-NAV product value on the market!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 16, 2004 | 3 out of 3 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: Integrated Palm features with simple to use navigation system

    Cons: battery life is everyone's first issue

    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 t...o 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 Read more Less

    Great PDA and GPS

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 13, 2003 | 4 out of 6 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: GPS, PDA, Large screen

    Cons: Battery Life, learning curve

    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 navi...gate 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! Read more Less

    Excellent GPS

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 2, 2003 | 4 out of 6 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: GPS integration with Palm

    Cons: Battery life

    This is a great palm with integrated GPS. For instance, your address book has locations that you can route to automatically. Input on this is easy since its based off the palm, as opposed to character selection from other GPS devices. It has so mu...ch information (restaurants, services, hotels) that I would not have known otherwise. The car kit is essential for car travel and the external antenae is recommended. All in all, I have not been disappointed by this. It has helped so much in my driving. Read more Less

    AB-FAB!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 20, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: SD-Card, very accurate GPS, compact, well made

    Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!

    I have used my iQue 3600 for approximately 7 months now and it has NEVER failed me or left me lost when travelling to an unfamiliar destination. Its ability to correct my errors are incredible. It is such a great unit that I purchased a second Garmin... unit of a different model for use hiking, etc. where the ability to survive in the out of doors is very important. I have highly recommended the iQue 3600 and other Garmin products to many of my coworkers and friends. I would definitely purchase another if the need arises. Read more Less

    Garmin IQue 3600

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 25, 2004 | 2 out of 2 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: Having GPS in ones pocket or dashboard

    Cons: Needs more built in RAM

    I've been using this PDA since last Christmas and have been very impressed, overall. The display cover broke out the box but otherwise, the unit seems to holding up well enough. We use it in the car and the GPS functions are a blast. It naviga...tes precisely and works great as long as you want to go it's way? I suspect only major routes have been programmed and sometimes I'd like to take another? I just need to click on 'Stop Navigation' and then 'Resume Navigation' when I get back to its route. I like te elevation and speed features especially when I'm in unfamililar terrain. It even gives an estimated arrival time on trips that it navigates. BUT, one feature I did not plan on is the ability to use it on the golf course! I stumbled on the a software called "Star Caddy". The software isn't free (about $50) plus about $19 or $20 for each course you want to use it on. Actually, it provides one course map free. It is a hoot on the golf course! My golfing partners were skeptical at first but they are believers, now! Read more Less

    Move in the right direction

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 28, 2004 | 1 out of 1 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: Many useful features

    Cons: Too delicate

    The GPS is really good with a significant accuracy. Works in cars and on planes. Signal acquisition unfortunately is slow, but after that works well. Losses satellites in areas with a lot of sky scrapers. More memory would be great.In general this is... the way the PDAs should go and make more and more features available. Read more Less

    Ique 3600 PDA

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 12, 2004 | 1 out of 1 found this Garmin iQue 3600 review helpful

    Pros: small, lightweight, PDA and GPS in one

    Cons: could be brighter in the car with sunglasses, requires sd chip to run detailed maps of areas

    I have been looking for a PDA and a GPS unit for quite a while. This unit cna do both and integrates them. I can synch to my outlook and have my meetings in my hand. I can also locate and route to the meetings. It doesn't get mad when I miss a tu...rn. It just says off route recalcultating and in 1 to 2 seconds tells me the nex correct turn to take. The detail is phenominal. I am looking for a less politically correct voice, say college student or shop rat or parent voice. (Turn left and make your bed when you get home) Read more Less
