Generally speaking, the device integrates a basic 32meg, 150mhz ARM9 CPU, with OS5 and a Garmin Flip Antenna GPS receiver. The system provides GPS positioning and automatic present location to distant address routing using Garmin's CitySelect Map system (same as Garmin GPS-V). Routing instructions are provided to the driver both verbally and by screen display similar to the guidance of the Garmin StreetPilot III and similar voice guidance navigation systems. The IQue 3600 can accept SD memory cards for Palm Computer applications and the SD memory can be used to store maps. I have no information as to if waypoints/routes/tracklogs can be stored in the SD memory. The unit will play MP3 music files and operate standard Palm OS5 applications as well.
Mapping
On the iQue 3600 installation CD, users can choose a basemap of
North America, South America, Europe or regions in the Pacific Rim. The
basemap provides the user with generalized information about highways,
major city streets, railways, rivers, lakes and state, provincial and national
borders. The user configurable basemap makes the iQue 3600
a versatile companion for the international frequent flyer who travels
between New York and London or
San Francisco and Hong Kong.
Standard applications include:
Garmin "Que" apps: MP3, GPS Clock, Street Address Lookup, Electronic Mapping, Track log, Trip Computer, Automatic Route Generation and Turn-by-Turn Voice Guidance
Palm OS 5 apps: Address Book, Calculator, Date Book, Expense, Mail, Memo Pad , Palm Reader and To Do List
Other 3rd party apps: Astraware Game Pack, Documents To Go, powerOne Personal Calculator, StarCaddy, SplashPhoto and Vindigo
