Customer Reviews: Broken I didn't try to use my Garmin iQue for a couple of weeks after I bought it. Big mistake. The button/wheel on the left was broken - and if accidently touched, it would make the screen go crazy...jumping very fast from one icon to another. I had to leave it on top of my stove overnight because it started to get hot and I couldn't turn it off. What a piece of sh..! I am very disappointed and would like to return it, but the buyer said returns only for 1 week. If something is broken, the seller should say so in the ad. This is the first time I have ever bought anything used online, and it will be my last. Don't buy anything from this seller.
Garmin iQue Was not refurbished did not work. Wrong power cord could not load maps. I returned to where it was shipped from, have not got credit card credit. Not happy feel violated. Not even worth 1 star.
The worst electronic device I ever owned! 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).
The Absolute Best!! But They Don't Make 'Em Anymore... 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.
This is a lousy product 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!
