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. |
