Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: The worst electronic device I ever owned! Comment: The unit's software has a lot of problems. The device is very slow. Battery does not last as long as advertised. When battery dies all saved internal information is lost. The new maps are not up to date. Customer service is terrible. Garmin's support phone line is always busy (for a reason!!!), usually you would have to stay about 20-30 minutes before you can speak to anyone. Very frustrating conversation - Garmin's employees are used to talk mean (because of many frustrated customers calls). Customer Rating: Summary: The Absolute Best!! But They Don't Make 'Em Anymore... Comment: This is perhaps the fourth Garmin iQue 3600 I've owned. I use it everyday so if I had to say anything bad about it is that it doesn't last forever. The screen on my last one broke.
But the things is packed with features that I don't think are available on any other PDA.
First the GPS system is superb. If you add a 2gb SD card you can have every street in the US or the EU at your fingertips. I just came back from a 2000 mile drive in Europe and this thing provided turn by turn directions perfectly.
The Palm PDA works great too. You can add any of the thousands of apps if you want. I hve my whole life on it.
Too bad they aren't making it anymore. If anybody knows of any equivalent I'd like to hear about it. Customer Rating: Summary: This is a lousy product Comment: This is a lousy product from Garmin. It is not "out of the box ready to use" - in fact not even close! It took me one whole day (almost) to set it up (with maps and everything) and it was not easy going through the process. I wonder why they did not pre-load the entire US map. Perhaps because it does not come with SD memory stick ($20 extra), but I would much rather have paid that extra. The antenna is VERY WEAK. Takes anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes before it locks on the satellite signal. My built-in car Navigation device does it instantly. It is an EXPENSIVE Palm Pilot....at the very best! Customer Rating: Summary: Great but discontinued; does not work with Vista Comment: This unit is first rate, but it has two major problems: it is discontinued, and the map function will not update with Vista. It also has serious power supply issues; if you want to take it between home and office, have power supplies in both places! Customer Rating: Summary: Old Friend but time to move on - If dead try hard reset Comment: Had this as my travel buddy for many years but now like the Nuvi 660 far better since I no use for the other palm functions.
It drove me batty many times trying to update maps etc but after hours of patience it always got back to working.
When the unit seems "dead" - be sure charged up or on AC power and do a hard reset. This often brings it back from the dead.
