The iQue M5 is perfect for today's mobile professional who wants to get from the boardroom to the hotel without asking for directions.
Mobile Office
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 Europe, the iQue M5 shows major motorways, thoroughfares, railways, lakes, rivers, and borders. Included is MapSource City Select CD-ROM for Europe, so users can download detailed street-level map data, look up points of interest (POIs), and navigate to an address in the UK. and Europe.
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.
