iQue M5 GPS
Product description from Garmin:
Mobile Office
The iQue M5 is perfect for today’s mobile professional who wants
to get from the boardroom to the hotel without asking for directions.
Featuring the latest Microsoft® Pocket PC software, Windows Mobile™
2003 Second Edition, the iQue M5 supports portrait/landscape screen orientation
for easy viewing of documents, videos, and web content. It's powered by
a 416-MHz Intel® PXA 272 microprocessor, and it also provides the
user with 64 MB of RAM, 64 MB of ROM and data back-up protection. The
embedded Bluetooth® transceiver allows the user to establish a personal-area
network with computer systems and Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mobile
phones, other PDAs, and printers. Check e-mail and view documents—then
sync seamlessly with your laptop.
GPS Navigation
The GPS antenna on the iQue M5 folds flush with the back of the unit.
Press the antenna release switch, and it simultaneously powers up the
iQue M5, acquires satellites, and defaults to the QueMap™ interface.
Once the antenna switch is triggered, the M5 prepares to navigate. The
antenna can be adjusted for optimal GPS signal reception in any vehicle
or rental car. The unit comes with a sturdy windshield mount with integrated
charger and speaker.
Detailed Mapping
Featuring a built-in basemap of North and South America and Puerto Rico,
the iQue M5 shows major highways, thoroughfares, railways, lakes, rivers,
and borders. MapSource City Select CD-ROM is a standard accessory, so
users can download detailed street-level map data, look up more than five
million points of interest (POIs), and navigate to an address in the U.S.
and Canada. World travelers can also add a European or Pacific Rim basemap
from the installation CD. International versions of the iQue M5 will feature
respective basemaps, mapping software, and language support.
Que™ Technology
The integrated Que applications enable consumers to see where they are
on an electronic map, look up a point of interest (POI), and route to
it—all the while following voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions.
If they miss a turn, the iQue M5 automatically recalculates a new route
to get them back on track. Advanced routing features include the ability
to specify roadways to avoid and find POIs near the current route. The
iQue M5 even offers intuitive POI searches that are based on user habits.
Another distinct benefit of Garmin’s PDA/GPS integration is the
patent-pending capability to attach a “location stamp” to
a profile in the user’s contact database or appointment calendar
and navigate directly to these important business addresses.
