Customer Review: Big, reliable, fits the bill
This product works perfectly for what I use it for. I’ve used the GPS functionality to navigate around Boston and Massachusetts, and it has worked flawlessly in that capacity. I’ve used Pocket Word to input various notes, and that has also worked for me. I’ve used Pocket Excel to manage grading for my 100 9th grade students in my 9th grade algebra class, and it’s worked exceptionally well there as well. I’ve downloaded various PocketPC programs for this unit as well and have had no problems working with those programs either.

All in all, for a relatively fast GPS unit coupled with a very good PDA system, I can’t think of something better for me. I also own the Cingular 8125 HTC Wizard device, and I much prefer the larger display of this GPS/PDA to that device. This unit uses WM2003, not WM2005 and later versions of WM, but I have found no real functional difference in operability on the WM2003 platform as opposed to the WM2005 platform.

If I had to make one complaint, it would be that it takes roughly about 1-2 minutes for the GPS receiver to pick up a satellite signal after opening the device. I have no experience with faster satellite recognition in other GPS systems, but I haven’t seen that this has been any hinderance to finding places in Massachusetts for me. All in all, a great buy! If you can get it on sale in other venues, it might be even more attractive at its pricepoint.
Customer Review: Garmin iQue M5
Sync with Outlook dosen’t all ways happen automatically, have to reset unit. GPS can be up to several hundred yards off actual position. Dosen’t all ways recognize turn was not taken or that you are on an adjacent road
