Garmin iQue3600a

I hope Paul Remde or somebody will give us an evaluation of the latest
Garmin whiz box for soaring application if any. Only asking $1099 (Gulp!).
What about it Paul?

Hi Ed and everyone,

It looks very interesting but there are some things to know. It is a Palm
device not a WinCE/Windows Mobile/Pocket PC device so it can't run Glide
Navigator II or WinPilot but could run Soaring Pilot.

The aviation maps look very nice. It appears targeted at power pilot of
course so it won't offer final glide data.

I don't have any plans to buy one at this time. You can see details he

However, one can possibly use freeware application Soaringpilot
http://www.soaringpilot.com/

I'm not familiar with that one, but it seems to be compatible wih iQue.
However for such a cost it seems to be clear overkill.

It can be mistakenly read out that "Soaringpilot" it expencive application.
It's free. I think that iQue is too costly.

Sorry for misleading write.
