Don't buy if looking primarily for GPS, March 28, 2005
This review is from: GARMIN iQue M5 - Handheld - Windows Mobile 2003 SE - 3.5" color TFT ( 320 x 240 ) (Electronics)
I am sending mine back despite the restocking fee. Word of advice: I made the mistake that even though I was primarily looking for a GPS device, I bought this- a PDA GPS, which ain't very smart. PDA GPS will hang, crash as they are not dedicated. Even if you would like to have a PDA but are looking for a good GPS first, buy a dedicated GOS device. I am not sure, how this product is good either as a GPS or a PDA if it hangs and crashes on you!
Pros:
Maps are good- just as rest of Garmin
Good battery life compared with other PDA GPS
Cons:
Windows 2003- I thought it to be a boon, but was a curse
Hngs up- I am sending mine back despite restocking fee as it hangs up from time to time- in fact I missed important meeting relying on this piece of crap
Reception: I live in NYC, and it loses signal very frequently in manhattan
Suction cup- Itz a hopeless cup and it keeps falling from the windscreen to the floor
