I have had the iQUE (Windows Version) since it first came out and it is AWESOME! It is a great PDA and even a better GPS. It plugs into the standard car lighter and the external speaker is even loud enough for us old geezers. You will most likely need additional memory to hold the maps if you travel a lot and do not want to move maps in and out of the iQUE. I got a 1GB card and is more then adequate. A friend just got one and ordered the 1GB card and has stored every major city on the card. The iQUE Windows version is a bit more then others but is top quality and a great Windows PDA.

This will not be used in the field, but rather strictly in the car. I want something with the following features: 1. Larger color display with fine detail 2. Full autorouting with voice commands for turns 3. Basemap (preferably loadable with America or Europe) 4. Detailed street maps fully unlocked 5. Points of Interest for food and drink, lodging, attractions, entertainment, etc. 6. Expandable memory for maps, etc. I have been looking at the various Garmin Streetpilots (2610, 2620, 2650, and 2720) and the various Garmin iQue PDA/GPS units (M3, M5, 3200 & 3600). Does anyone have any experience with these particular units? Also, with the iQue units, there are 2 which are Palm OS 5.2 based (3200 and 3600) and 2 which are Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition based (M3 and M5). Does anyone have any recommendations on these OSs for PDAs? The iQue units are a lot less expensive than the Streetpilots, and also have the PDA capability. Are they lacking in GPS functionality compared to the Streetpilots? Any helpfull information will be greatly appreciated. Bob Renner __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It even updates road construction areas! Works great for me.

I'm very happy with it and I have a 512 MB card with mine so I have all of New England down to DC and AZ to San Diego loaded with more room left. Just used it to get to a meet in Lebanon, NH. Very pleased with it. It has all the features you're looking for. Mike > >I have been wanting to get a GPS for the car. This >will not be used in the field, but rather strictly in >the car.

I use the laptop to get me in the area of a cache, then grab the handheld SporTrak Pro to walk to the cache. The laptop has been great on the last couple of trips we've taken out of town. We spent a week in the San Francisco area looking for an apartment for our daughter. Just type in the address and it gives the best route to get to that address from your current position. We also just got back from Maine and I used it in the rental car to find our way from the Airport in Manchester, NH to Farmingdale, ME. Also lists all POI's, Hotels/Motels, ATM's, Restaurants, Airports, etc. etc. etc... I find it hard to go anywhere without it now!!! LOL Gordon Team AvArt -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
