Garmin iQue 3600a Color Aviation PDA/GPS Discontinued

The iQue 3600a package includes an innovative yoke-mounted cradle as well as built-in basemap, terrain, obstacle and Jeppesen® databases - all of which turn this full-featured PDA into a premium aviation navigator without any complicated set-up procedures. In addition, the device features all of the automotive turn-by-turn capabilities and personal information management (PIM) applications of Garmin's popular iQue product line, making it a highly versatile device for aviation enthusiasts.

Ready to navigate right out of the box, the iQue 3600a combines the convenience of a Palm with the reliability of a Garmin GPS aviation portable. Instead of using a stylus for data input, simply insert the unit in the cradle and navigate using the dedicated Direct To, Nearest, Menu, Escape, Enter and directional rocker buttons - giving it the same functionality as other Garmin aviation portables. When inserted into the cradle, it instinctively selects settings appropriate for aviation use and allows aviators to transition seamlessly from personal/automotive use to the cockpit environment. Upon landing, look up an address and receive turn-by-turn directions to the front door using downloaded map data from optional MapSource CDs.

Pilots will appreciate the iQue 3600a's premium features found only on Garmin's high-end aviation portable products:
• Jeppesen, terrain and U.S. obstacles databases - along with a built-in basemap - provide the ultimate in moving-map situational awareness
• "Terrain" mode offers TAWS-like warnings and "pop-up" alerts when proximity conflicts loom ahead - for an extra margin of safety
• Detailed Sectional chart-style overview of surface features, navaids, SUAs, towers, and more along your flight route on a crisp, colorful display - along with fast redraw rates - enhance the flying experience
• Patent-pending aviation cradle mount with dedicated Direct To, Nearest, Menu, Escape, Enter and directional rocker buttons - give pilots a user-friendly interface in the cockpit

Featuring the Palm OS Garnet, including a complete suite of personal information management (PIM) applications, voice recorder, MP3 player and Secure Digital slot for memory expansion, the iQue 3600a is a full-featured organizer. On the ground, optional MapSource® CD downloads (see product compatibility table) and user-selectable formats enable the iQue 3600a to move seamlessly from plane to automobile. Not only does this "super PDA" keep track of addresses, contacts and appointments - but it can also locate and route you to them automatically with turn-by-turn voice directions and street-level mapping.
