Q. My iQue 3200/3600 has 32 MB of internal memory. When I attempt to load 20 MB of map detail, I receive an error log after synchronization indicating that I exceeded the memory limit of the internal storage. Why is this happening?
A. The 32 MB of internal memory storage is not solely dedicated to the mapping software that came with your unit. The Palm OS on your unit takes up about 10 MB of memory alone. During your initial HotSync, your basemap, voice-guidance files, and other initial Palm applications install, taking away another 6 MB of space. This leaves slightly over 14 MB of storage space for any other applications or maps. Any other software applications loaded to your iQue will take up additional internal memory. To check the amount of memory in use and the amount available in the iQue, access the "All" menu, then tap the Option soft button in the bottom left-hand corner of the iQue. (It is the second button from the left, next to the Home icon that looks like a house.) The App menu and the Options menu will appear. Make sure the App menu is selected, and choose "Info". You will see a statement at the top of the Info screen, such as "Free Space: 2.8M of 22.8M".

Q. Can I use my stylus to enter a Waypoint with my iQue 3200/3600?
A. Yes you can. While on the Map page, tap with the stylus in the location you wish to mark a waypoint. You should see a white pointer or arrow appear. Next, tap the Flag icon with your stylus. Edit the name of the waypoint if you wish, and tap "OK" when finished. The waypoint will now be added to the list of waypoints stored in your iQue and as a contact on your PC when you next synchronize the two. Also, pressing and holding the thumbwheel for 2-3 seconds will result in the unit marking a waypoint at your current location.
Q. At what point will I need to purchase an external SD card to store maps onto?
A. Even though the iQue has a total of 32MB of internal memory, the Palm OS itself consumes about 10 MB of memory. This leaves about 22 MB of memory for mapping detail, additional programs, games, and pictures you may wish to store on the iQue. During your initial HotSync, this total is reduced to approximately 14 MB due to the installation of your basemap, voice guidance files, and other applications.
There are several basemap options to choose from, and your selection will dictate where it must be stored?internally or on an SD/MMC card. Furthermore, the number of additional detailed maps you wish to have access to may dictate the necessity for an external memory card. Also, MP3 files (iQue 3600 only) must be stored on a SD/MMC card.
SD/MMC cards may are found at most electronic retail outlets.
Related FAQs:
- Can I use the Secured Digital (SD) slot to store mapping detail for the Que software?
Q. Why do I keep getting a message stating the memory is full when loading maps to a SD card in my iQue 3200/3600? I know I have enough space.
A. You may have a file in the installation tool that is trying to load to the internal memory of the iQue. You will need to remove this file from the installation tool used by the Palm Desktop program.
To do this, open your Install Tool from your Palm Desktop. You may see two map files. One will say GMAPSUPP.PDB. The PDB on the end of this file means that it is ready to load to the internal memory of the unit. The other file is listed as GMAPSUPP.IMG. The IMG at the end of the file means it is ready to load to the SD card.
You cannot change the destination of the maps once they are in the install tool. Check the available internal memory on your unit. If the GMAPSUPP.PDB file is taking up more memory than you have free space for, you will need to remove it. Highlight the GMAPSUPP.PDB file, and then click on ?Remove?. Then click ?Yes? when you are asked if you are sure that you want to remove this file. Finally, run a hot sync. The map that you chose to load to your SD card will sync over.

A. The external antenna (GA 27C) connects to the top of the iQue. There is a small round rubber cap to the right of the SD card slot, near the stylus. Lift the rubber cap, and you will see the MCX connection that the external antenna plugs into.
Q. Can I install other MapSource products, such as U.S. Topo, on my iQue 3200/3600. If so, how do I do that?
A. Yes. There are two methods of loading maps on your iQue.
1. Once you have installed the iQue software, including City Select and Palm Desktop/HotSync, you can install detailed maps using "Map Install" (found within Palm Desktop). If you have purchased a second MapSource product, such as U.S. Topo, you may install these maps via Map Install as well. After launching the Map Install application, select one of several installed MapSource products, such as U.S. Topo or City Select, from the drop-down menu above the maps. Selecting maps in this manner will allow you to create a list (shown to the right of the maps) of the different types of maps that have been installed. Use the Map Tool to select the maps you wish to download by clicking on each map. The maps will now be highlighted pink. Once you have chosen all of the maps you wish to save, click "Next" and select the user name and destination for the maps: SD/MMC or internal. Map Install will prepare the maps to be installed the next time you perform a HotSync. Now, with the iQue on the HotSync cradle and the cradle plugged into a USB port, press the HotSync button on the cradle. The maps will be installed.
2. If you have purchased and installed a second MapSource product, you may select these maps, as well as City Select maps, within MapSource for synchronization with the iQue. You must first ensure that you have updated MapSource to version 5.0 or higher. From the drop-down menu above the maps, you may choose the particular MapSource product you would like to select. Utilize the Map Tool to select the individual maps for synchronization. Once they're selected, the maps will turn pink and their names will appear on the Map Tab to the left. Once you have selected several maps for synchronization, click on the File menu and select "Save To". Then choose either "Storage Card Reader" or the iQue. MapSource will create the necessary map file that will be synchronized with the iQue or saved to the card reader the next time you perform a HotSync.
Q. Can my old Palm PDA sync with my new Palm Desktop?
A. In most cases, you will be able to use the new version of Palm Desktop that comes on the setup CD to synchronize both your older Palm-based PDA and your new iQue. As long as you have created different user names for both of your PDAs, you will be able to use Palm Desktop with both units. However, the Que functions of the new Palm Desktop will not sync with your older PDA. They'll only sync with the iQue.
Q. What kind of software applications can I download to my iQue 3200/3600?
A. The iQue has the ability to run a variety of applications that run on the Palm OS platform. Thousands exist, and many may be found by searching on the Internet. The application must be compatible with Palm OS 5 platform or later.
Q. How do I turn up the volume of the speaker on my iQue? Is there an external speaker available?
A. To turn up the volume of your iQue, select the Volume icon/soft button at the bottom-right part of the screen. You'll be able to customize the sounds of the iQue.

A. You can find the internal memory available by choosing "System" from the "Categories" pull-down menu in the upper-right corner. From the system menu, use the pull-down option in the lower-left corner and chose "Info" to see the internal memory. On this same page, you can view the memory available on the SD card by clicking the pull-down menu next to "Device". You can also find SD card information by going to "All" or "System menu", and choosing "Card Info".
Q. Does the iQue antenna have to be flipped all the way up to receive satellites?
A. The antenna will receive satellites as long as it is not locked in the closed position and has a clear view of the sky. It is adjustable to three different positions for satellite reception.
For the best reception, the antenna should be parallel to the ground as you hold it or as it sits in your vehicle. For example, in the vehicle mount, the antenna should be at a 90-degree angle to the iQue.
Q. Will the iQue work like my other Garmin GPS units?
A. The functions of the iQue are similar to other units, such as the StreetPilot III, but the iQue uses Palm software and Palm terminology. All the menus and functions of the iQue will be accessed with the stylus just like on a regular Palm device. It is easy to transition to a new iQue if you have used Garmin units and Palm devices.
Q. Can you use the Secured Digital (SD) slot to store mapping detail from the iQue?
A. Yes. You can use SD/MMC cards of all sizes to load detailed maps from your MapSource City Select software, MP3s (3600 only), etc. You may either save to the card while the card is in the iQue or while the card is in a SD card programmer.
If you want to store data on SD/MMC cards, you do need to do one HotSync with the card in the iQue before you attempt to write data to it.
Q. Can I calculate an area in an iQue?
A. Although you may collect, save, and display the track log on the screen of an iQue, these units are not able to calculate the area of a track log or route.
Q. Can I perform a TracBack on an iQue?
A. Although you are able to collect, save, and display active and saved track logs on the screen of an iQue, the iQue does not contain the TracBack feature common to Garmin handheld GPS units. The iQue is similar to the autorouting StreetPilot III in that it requires you to enter a destination each time the unit is used to perform a GoTo. You do have the option of allowing the unit to calculate a route using either "faster time" or "shorter distance", or you can perform a direct GoTo, which is listed as "off road".
Q. How many waypoints can the iQue hold?
A. The number of waypoints that can be stored in the iQue is limited only by the amount of memory you have in the unit because waypoints are assigned a name and location, and then stored as a contact. You can create waypoints until you run out of memory.
Q. How do I delete programs from my iQue 3200/3600?
A. Access the Option menu from one of the menu pages, such as "All" or "Main", by either tapping the time or selecting one of the two soft "Option" buttons at the bottom of the screen. Next, select "Delete" from the Option menu. Tap the name of the program you would like to delete, and tap "Delete".
Q. Why am I unable to load detailed maps to my iQue 3200/3600 from the MapSource software as I do with my other Garmin GPS unit?

Q. What is a Waypoint?
A. Waypoints are locations or landmarks worth recording and storing in your GPS. These are locations you may later want to return to. They may be check points on a route or significant ground features. (e.g., camp, the truck, a fork in a trail, or a favorite fishing spot).
Waypoints may be defined and stored in the unit manually, by taking coordinates for the waypoint from a map or other reference. This can be done before ever leaving home. Or more usually, waypoints may be entered directly by taking a reading with the unit at the location itself, giving it a name, and then saving the point.
Waypoints may also be put into the unit by referencing another waypoint already stored, giving the reference waypoint, and entering the distance and compass bearing to the new waypoint.

Q. My iQue displays a message that says, ?The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again.? Why can?t I HotSync?
A. The first thing to check is to make sure you have the USB connector plugged in to your computer correctly. Once you have done this, you may need to start the HotSync Manager application by selecting Start/Programs/Palm Desktop/HotSync Manager on your PC. Then press the HotSync button on the iQue cradle to synchronize. If you are still having trouble with the HotSync process, you may need to reload the drivers for the HotSync process.
You can set these correctly by going to the Control Panel on your computer and then going to the System Icon (Windows XP users will need to make sure they are viewing Classic Mode in their control panel). Inside of here, you can go to your Device Manager. There could either be a Device Manager tab or a Hardware Tab with the Device Manager as a button on that tab. Once inside the Device Manager, HotSync the unit. When you do this, you should see a device appear in the Device Manager under Other Devices named Palm Handheld. Double-click on Palm Handheld and then go to the Driver Tab and select Update or Install Driver. This process should fix any HotSync problems you are having.
Q. How do I get my saved waypoint data from my iQue 3600 into my new iQue M5?
A. At this time, waypoints cannot be automatically transferred from the iQue 3600 to the iQue M5. An alternative method is to use MapSource to manually create a new waypoint using the coordinates from the iQue 3600. The waypoint can then be transferred to the iQue M5 from MapSource.

A. Press and hold in the Thumb Wheel on the left side of the iQue 3600 until you see the ?Mark Waypoint? box, and then tap "Edit". Next, tap "Location", and then tap "Show Info". Now, tap within the Location field. You'll be asked ?How would you like to change the location?? Select "Manual" if you would like to use the Graffiti pad, "Find" if you would like to utilize the QueFind application, and "Map" if you would like to use the white arrow cursor to select the location.
Q. What is the proper way to place the iQue into?or remove it from?its cradle?
A. Align the iQue with the angle of cradle and insert the unit directly into the cradle. To remove the iQue, pull the unit forward (in a more vertical position) and lift it from the cradle. This technique provides a locking connection between the iQue and the cradle.
Q. Will all my current Palm applications work with the iQue 3200/3600?
A. Most applications designed for the Palm OS will work. And most applications that are designed to operate on Palm version 5.0 will be compatible with the iQue. Of course, Garmin has not tested every program, and we cannot make any guarantees that all programs will be compatible with the iQue, including applications designed for previous Palm versions. Please check with the software provider to determine if the program you are interested in is compatible with the iQue.
Q. Why does a different program launch when I press the Address button at the bottom of the iQue 3200/3600?
A. Any one application installed onto the iQue 3600 may be associated with one of the four buttons at the bottom of the iQue 3600. Pressing the button will then lauch the chosen application (such as QueFind, Address, Documents, etc). If you do not want a button associated with a program, you may change the association. Access the "All" menu, where you will find a list of all applications installed in the iQue 3600, and select "Prefs" (Preferences). Next, select "Buttons" from the drop-down menu in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen. Then, assign the buttons to applications from the drop-down menus, matching the picture of the button with the name of the program.
Q. Do I have to use the Map Install application within Palm Desktop to install maps onto my iQue 3200/3600?
A. No. MapSource may also be used to install maps. (Please note that MapSource does not come with the iQue's City Select software.) If you already have MapSource installed on your computer, you will be able to select maps within MapSource and create a mapset that will be transferred to the iQue the next time you perform a HotSync. Because only the latest version of MapSource (version 5.0 or higher) possesses this ability, you may need to download the most current version of MapSource.
Q. Is the iQue 3000/3200/3600 compatible with Apple Macintosh computers?
A. Garmin now offers a Palm Desktop for the Mac that is compatible with Mac OS X and above. This is a basic Palm desktop application only. Garmin MapSource options are only available in a Windows format. In the future, Garmin will offer a solution so Mac computers can work with Garmin devices in 2007.
