1 comments about Garmin Handlebar Mount for Garmin II+ and III+.

1. I bought this for my motorcycle handlebars and it works great. You can't put your GPS back quickly into it's carrying case with the bracket on because it blocks your ability to fold away the antenna. But that is it's only drawback. Comes with a "spring spacer" for your batteries to counteract the affect of vibration on those batteries which may cause temporary power fluxes. Highly recommend this accessory for your Garmin II or III+

1. I can't RAVE enough about my Garmin StreetPilot 2610! I have been over 10,000 miles with this GPS and it works great all of the time! It has never been lost or confused (like my Honda in-car navigation, it stinks), it tracks well with my vehicle and it ALWAYS is within 2 minutes of time it shows I will be there. If I start a 300 mile trip and it shows my arrival time at 5:30 PM, you can bet I will arrive at the door no later than 5:32 PM! It is truly amazing! It seems to even take into account short potty breaks for the kids!
   
   If I am driving down the road and I get hungry or need gas, I click "find" on the remote and select the food or gas category and viola' it shows me how far I am from what establishment, then I click the one I want and it routes me there. That simple. :)
   
   I know it's an older product, but it still works great! The remote is VERY handing, but the touch screen works well, too.
   
   It isn't very often these days that I am so COMPLETELY satisfied with a product, but this has been one of those products. I am one of those people who like the latest electronics, but yet I am still satisfied with OLD Garmin StreetPilot.
   
   If you buy one, you will need the newest (08/2006) mapping software for it, version 8, to get the most out of your new GPS. A 2GB compact flash will store the entire US and all POI(points-of-interest) for you. Garmin will also let you use the software on up to 2 Garmin GPS's, so you could buy 2 used ones and upgrade the software.
   
   That's all I have for now. Did I mention that it works great?



2. Paid more than $600 for 2 year of usage, it was great for 1-1/2 year. After I realized the satellite signal was getting weaker, I saw more satellite drops even in the wide open area (rural area), like HWY-5. Now even for more than 10 minutes after power up, no signal at all, I updated the latest firmware, it doesn't get any signal at all. The GPS never been dropped, always put it back in the bag after usage.



3. We received this product in great condition and within the timeframe expected. The product met expectation and functions properly. We appreciate the service Burlington provided us.



4. I love this product and use it all the time. I wonder now what I would do if I didn't have my navigator. Continue to get lost I guess.



5. When I first bought it all I get was misleading route.
   I got lost more than 10 times. Not too precise in turning and very confusing route.
   Now, I have the Navigon 5100 which I am very happy with my purchase.

5 comments about Garmin iQue M3 Pocket PC integrated with GPS.

1. I've had mine for a good part of a year, so this is a good time for a review. This unit is my introduction to the world of GPS navigation. I've got 2 young kids and a wife that is map-challenged. This ofcourse means I drive and read the map while in foreign places. Safe huh?
   
   Anyway, technically this GPS unit does well to take me to places as it should. Satellite acquisition is reasonably fast and keeps a good signal during a route. Detail of the map and audio is plenty good, although if you're getting on in your years, the display would be a challenge. Sun and darkness does not detract from the display. The auto light adjustment between day/dusk/dark is fantastic. Routes are mapped out well and the audio instructions provide sufficient time for you to make the proper lane changes in advance for the upcoming turns. PDA function is also a nice to have. I use it mostly to watch movies to wait for the kids while they nap in the car.
   
   The only thing that was a bit problematic for me was that during a route, the unit would 'reset'. Yes. It would shut down and start up again. This process would take about a minute. This meant that if you're waiting for the next turn, you'll have to pull over and wait. It does resume to where it left off once it is up again. This would be its biggest problem...luckily Garmin I guess recognized this problem. If you go to their site and download the latest (last) update patch...this problem seem to disappear. In fact, the map rendering is even better after this patch.
   
   All in all, I've had such a positive experience with this that I've recommended it to 5 close friends and family. They all have one and probably would not drive anywhere without it now. There are certainly faster and better units out there now with the new SirfStar III GPS chipset and all. But without going into more detail, driving around with my trusty M3 in a less than familiar place without having to multi-task is priceless and SAFE.



2. I'm exceedingly happy that I didn't have to face the software glitches or problems with technical support that other people have, because I've been nothing but happy with this fantastic device. As a recent college graduate I received this as a present to replace an old Palm Pilot and so far it's been invaluable ever since. Getting programs (many which are free) aren't hard at all to find on the net for the Windows PPC 2003 OS (even for those who aren't net savvy), so it easily functions not only as an appointment keeper, address book, document creator, to do list, or GPS, but also as a budget diary, shopping list, an entertainment device (the games you can get for the OS is expansive!), and even a calorie counter. Also, the PPC can act like an Ipod alternative- with the already Windows Media player and other downloadable software, I'm able to listen to MP3's and watch AVI/WMA/MP4 video files on the Garmin and get a good 4-5 hours of play time (very good, considering it's not its main function.) And because of the GPS speaker, it acts like a small personal radio as well- no need to connect other speakers. (And of course, there's a headphone jack for personal privacy or to play in your car with an IPod adapter.)
   My only real problem with the device so far is that Garmin doesn't seem to have as many GPA satellites as other companies (that or they're/the PPC isn't as responsive); I used to use a Magellan roadmate and it had faster responsiveness (especially when it came to re-routing). However, considering that the GPS isn't this PPC's only function it does a great job of providing accurate directions.
   
   And unlike other people's experiences, Garmin International's support line was exceedingly helpful- after my speaker died after a very humid trip to Asia, they replaced the whole system free of charge under warranty (and were very friendly about it too). Granted, I am no business person or have a job that demands certain functionality out of a pocket PC- but if you're looking for a solid pocket PC with a lot of potential and a reliable GPS, this system is definitely worth your money (and is cheaper than an M5).



3. I liked this unit, actually I love this unit. As a "on the road" salesman I store customer data in it. I can route to and from customer sites. I use the Excel spreadsheets. I take notes on customer sites and hot sync it to my laptop in the car. I can edit my customer notes on the laptop and then sync back to the M3.
   
   A couple of issues though that will prevent me from purchasing another unit from Garmin. My unit began to develop a screen issue. I use the palm style of entering data, and the screen started doing weird things when I would attempt to enter text. To Garmin's defense, they did warranty it. However the replacment unit is barely a year old and now the screen has a dead spot in the middle that is getting larger. Unfortunatly there are things you cannot access without the touch screen so it is a problem. Garmin will sell me a "refurb" for 99 dollars. I think that buying a new unit every year for 99 dollars is asking a bit much.
   
   The other issue is that it is not possible to really manage the memory. Garmin claims you can, however I find that one needs to periodically 'reboot' the unit to free up enough ram to effectively run the GPS side. When you close programs they stay in memory and consume it. Saving data to the SD cards is a cool way to minimize the effect on the limited ram, but the operating system still stores the executable in the memory. There is a slide to select the amount of ram to reserve for operating programs, but is is not effective and always defaults to a 50/50 split. Since I use all the Handheld PC features and the GPS it gets to be a problem.
   
   Now Garmin has discontinued the line completly. Only a matter of time before support is discontinued as well.
   
   Hope Apple comes out with a GPS enabled iPod soon!



4. It is about 1.5 year that I have my iQue m3 GPS/PDA.
   This is the most easy to use GPS ever. I spend one year to find something close to this for my gf who has no interest on gadgets but nothing worked like this for her, so I purchased another one. M3 "Garmin" is the only GPS I could relay on in my trips to VI, Costs and even Germany. Best thing is that you can walk and bike and still get the directions.
   Apart of a GPS it is a pocket PC with lots of uses such as MS Word and Excel that I need. The only problem was lack of memory capacity that I simply used my cell phone memory and works perfect.



5. I purchased this GPS 2 years ago and was extremely thrilled to see the features that this GPS/PDA system contains. However, I was extremely disappointed with the system and would suggest nobody to consider it for purchase in future. It takes forever to connect to the satellite, responds slowly and often after the wrong turn has been taken, loses signal every now and then, hangs in the middle of the road and has even started updating maps in the middle of the drive- a huge safety hazard because you have to turn on the GPS again after the updates have been installed while driving. The GPS does not take the addresses from the address book correctly and tends to misguide you. Garmin is unhelpful on this and often unresponsive. Beware of this product and its nice looks.

1. I've checked this GPS out in the toughest test and I guess you get what you pay for, this model can display the profile for up to 25 miles on the screen , but when you download the data the profile is very hard to re create on the PC, I've tried using several kinds of download software and then Harvard Graphics or excel , with the same result, a horizontal scale problem.

   Every check I have made on its accuracy shows no problem , just this end of the line processing, perhaps I'm the only user trying to print off the profile




2. This GPS is a great help for any kind of GPS work you would need to do that didn't require you to be any closer than about 20 feet. Within 20 feet is is inprecise.

   I've found that the altimeter needs regular calibration to be accurate as well.

   Too bad it doesn't come standard with an A/C adapter. You'd think with all the money you're paying the least you would get is an A/C adapter!




3. I use it when I go sking, so I see how fast I can go, I use it for biking, so I can tell how far I have gone. I can be in the middle of my two story house and still get a signal (It takes about 10 minutes though) Outside it will pick up a signal in under 30secconds. Its Great!

   Pro-Easy to use
   -Lots of info
   -Can be used for rec/work
   -Very accurate

   Con-Sucks up batteries fast




4. Just keep in mind that if you buy this product, you will not have the capability to load any Mapsource data, or any map data at all. The unit does not come with even a rudimentary database, and although there is an optional (and riduculously overpriced) PC interface cable, you won't be able to upload anyting into the GPS unit. No street maps, no topo maps,... nada. Other comparably priced units have this capability, which seems to me to be absolutely essential if you actually want to use a GPS unit to be able to navigate, which, let's face it, is the only reason that you would buy one.



5. I AM STILL WAITING TO RECEIVE THE TWO GPS UNITS I ORDERED ON 9-25-08
   I SURE HOPE TO HAVE THEM BY XMAS !!
