Prize Description:
The iQue 3600 is the first PDA to include integrated GPS
technology. With the power of Palm OS 5 and the dependability of GARMIN GPS
technology, this "Super PDA" redefines multi-tasking. Our integrated software
not only allows you to look up appointments or contacts, but also locates and
routes you to them with voice-guidance commands!
The differentiating feature of the iQue 3600 is its
integrated GPS capabilities. GARMIN's innovative Que technology delivers
location awareness, electronic mapping, automatic route calculation,
turn-by-turn voice guidance, and map data interface to the iQue 3600. Que
technology enables users to see where they are, find a street address, know
where the next turn is via visual and voice guidance, get back on track when
they have strayed off course, and navigate efficiently to their desired
destination.
One of the key benefits of technology integration on the iQue 3600 is its
patent-pending contact-locator feature. Enabled by GARMIN's Que technology, this
feature connects the Palm Address Book and Date Book to the GPS electronic map
to give the user the ability to navigate directly to a specific address within
the user's contact database. The iQue 3600 is built around the Palm OS 5
platform and offers standard Palm applications, such as Address Book,
Calculator, Date Book, Mail, Memo Pad and To Do List. And there is enough
processing power to search large databases of stored information and to enhance
display graphics with easy-to-read fonts and crisp electronic maps. There is
also a voice recorder for making memos, quick notes, and messages. With 32 MB of
built-in memory and an expansion slot, you can even store your favorite MP3s.
The iQue 3600 provides the proven quality and reliability of GARMIN
navigation. It has automatic route calculation, turn-by-turn voice guidance,
trip computer, and map data interface. The iQue 3600's unique, flip-up GPS
antenna automatically initiates GPS navigation and begins acquiring satellite
signals when it is extended. The antenna folds discreetly in the back of the
unit when the user is not navigating. Users can choose a configurable basemap of
North America, South America, Europe, or regions in the Pacific Rim, with
generalized information on highways, major city streets, highway exit services,
railways, rivers, lakes, and state, provincial, and national borders. The iQue
also has the added benefit of detailed street information on the included
MapSource CD-ROM, giving users the capability of looking up restaurant
addresses, hotels, local attractions, transportation hubs, emergency services,
and much more. Once a desired point of interest is chosen, you have the
capability to view more info or even show it on the map screen. The mapping
capability of the iQue 3600 makes it a versatile companion for the international
frequent flyer who travels, for instance, between New York and London or San
Francisco and Hong Kong.
