Fine if you don't use much power..........2007-09-14
Convenient, small and easy to use. Fine if you don't use too much power or have a LCD monitor.
Too bad Tripp-Lite is too cheap to make them out of metal. The amount of power that my laser printer uses causes my top of the line Sony monitor and my cheap Dell rebrand to shimmer. The flow of electricity causes a magnetic field to interfere with the electron gun. If they still made these things out of metal it would reduce or stop the interference. I am now trying to get my old APC metal one repaired.
Missing screws, delivered to wrong house.......2007-09-10
Ok this was my first buy on amazon.. I bought 2 of the Tripp Lite TMC-6 TouchMaster Compact Surge Suppressor.. My nabor came to me and Gave me the box that was shipped. She found it at her front door, 2 houses up the street!(UPS can't read an address) When I took out the 2 switch boxes, 1 didn't have any screws in it (a friday special?)
I needed them bad so I put my own screws in it.. so far they are working fine.. Not very pleased with my first buy from here..Oh and a week Later there 20 bucks now insted of 30.
one of the hard to find item.......2007-08-30
In this day is hard to find this type of surge suppressor in retail store, as soon as I saw it on amazon, I grasp it without think twice, been looking for one to use with all my external enclosure, so I don't have to reach to the back to turn those thing on & off. everything works fine.
GOOD ONE.......2007-06-12
THE TRIPP-LITE IS LIKE MY OLD ONE BUT MUCH THINER & SHORTER IN LENGHT.
GOOD BUY FOR THE MONEY
Good power base.......2007-05-15
I got this to replace a very old (and dying) under-monitor power box. This one was really the only one that fit my needs. Black, built-in surge suppressor, etc. Works like a charm.
Only complaint is that the master switch controls both the entire unit, and it's own plug (would have liked a seperate button).
Good buy though! Looks good too.

iQue 3200 integrated PDA/GPS.......2007-08-27
This is an excellent product. I received mine faster than expected, and as others suggested I used it on a few routes that I'm familiar with to get used to the directions. It is unfortunate that this product is discontinued, as in my opinion it is superior to the 3000 and 3600 because it includes an SDIO slot so that you can add wireless, bluetooth, or even another GPS receiver if you wanted to (at least in theory). And why would you want an MP3 player on your PDA?
The included software worked well for what it was intended, and I found that I could add more programs to the SD card leaving internal memory free. Some add-on software has a requirement for residing on the internal memory, so it's best to keep this from getting too cluttered up if you can.
I see the Palm OS as a benefit as it is a simple no-nonsense interface once you get used to it. It's been very stable for me even though there are a lot of custom-integrated apps with the GPS. Garmin did a great job in software development.
Here are a few tips to help you get started:
-I recommend buying an SD card along with this product. You can find 2GB to 4GB cards at a decent price now (depending on your budget). I've tried a few different brands--including "bulk" cards--without any compatibility issues.
-Before you install the software, register your product on Garmin's web site. I found that there is a problem with the CD registration process, but for Garmin it is a lot easier to fix problems on a web site than it is to fix problems on an out-of-date CD. Once you have registered your product, continue with the CD installation. It should go much smoother. The issue for me was that the CD software had problems communicating with their web site, even though I could connect to their site with a browser.
-As part of this registration process I was also eligible for a free map update, which I ordered on their site. Their maps purchased separately are pretty pricey in my opinion, so in the future I may think twice about buying an update.
-The product can take anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes to acquire a signal depending on your starting point. For example if you are near trees or buildings this will impact the satellite recognition. Once you're on the open road, usually the signal acquisition is faster.
-For me, the signal dropped occasionally when driving through a forest with an overhanging canopy. I've read that the signal would be better if a sirf chip was used. I found that if the signal drops, usually it's also picked up very quickly as soon as the signal becomes available. The optional antenna could help with this. Other than the expected reception quality, the unit had no problems getting me where I needed to go.
The only feature that seemed to be missing to me was a headphone jack--for example to run to the audio-in of your car stereo--but a bluetooth SDIO could compensate for this. The speaker that comes with the cradle was plenty loud, but it's nice to have connection options. The miniUSB-out that comes with the 3000 would be another beneficial feature here.
This is a very useful product and I highly recommend it. At a refurbished price it is an amazing deal - cheaper than most standalone GPS and PDA products. Even though it was refurbished the product was in excellent condition (the box was a bit marked up, but I don't buy products for the box they come in...). Garmin should strongly think about releasing an update to this product using a sirf chipset - they would have a winning combination on their hands if they did in my opinion.
Many frustrations.......2007-01-09
I had high hopes, but so far have met with frustration at every turn. First, after lots of wait times, the THIRD technical person from Garmin told me that the reason I couldn't get the darn software installed is that it will not work with Windows Media edition. Argggh. So, went to a computer with a different OS, but couldn't get the maps installed because the Amazon third party vendor order failed to send the "unlock code". Still waiting to see if I can get that. In the meantime, can't even try the GPS. And, the Palm software does not have catagory capacity on the datebook, which my OLD Palm had. Is the software moving backward?
Memory card.......2006-11-20
The unit works great for me; I use it on most of my business trips across the country. I highly recommend it to anyone considering GPS. One note concerning Ahmed's comment- I have the entire detailed may of the US on a 2 GB card (it takes about 1.4 GB of memory) and the 3200 works perfectly with it.
Worked great for me on a trip to Hawaii!.......2006-08-09
I picked this unit up on sale about a week before heading to Hawaii for a 9 day trip. I can't pronounce most of the street names in Hawaii, much less find them. I already have an eTrex Legend and had the maps and waypoints loaded in it, but when I saw this unit (along with the fact that the screen died on my IBM Palm unit) I figured I would give it a shot.
I was pleasantly surprised! I loaded the Palm desktop but use Lotus Notes for my work, so my calendar and address book needed to be synched up to satisfy my requirements. I use EasySync Pro for syncronization, and after loading the software, everything worked perfectly! I can go to the Palm Desktop and install maps from the City Select package, or I can use the Mapsource software that I bought with the Legend. I have them both installed at the same time and it gives you the ability to toggle back and forth and select either one for the maps you want to install-very nice feature. I can also install maps directly from the Mapsource product, using maps from both product. It also asks if you want to install to the internal memory or the SD card. Hit the sync button, and away it goes!
I plugged in waypoints for my hotels on 3 different islands, as well as other places I wanted to visit on the fly while I was there. It found where I was very quickly, and using the car kit that came with the unit, gave great turn by turn directions. It previews what the turn will look like twice before you get there. It was slightly off on the driveway for one hotel, and a restaurant we were looking for on Kauai actually wasn't there any more due to the flooding in March--not the unit's fault. Other than that, it calculated routes quickly, and if I made a mistake, "Betty" told me I was off-route, and recalculated immediately. The speaker is plenty loud for the car, especially if you turn up the direction volume on the unit itself. Between that adjustment, and the volume wheel on the speaker, I had no problem hearing the directions.
As far as the previous reviewer, I can't agree with the comments on the holding ability of the car kit. It worked flawlessly in two completely different cars--an Explorer and a Taurus. I never had an issue with it coming off. In fact, even after releasing the suction lever, I have to still pry it off the window. Same thing in my Accord. Could the screen be brighter, sure, but I had no problem seeing the screen in the bright Hawaii sun.
The only "con" I have is the battery life. You need to turn the brightness back down once running on the battery. The GPS runs it down pretty rapidly, but that's normal for any QPS unit.
On the Palm side of things, it has all the normal stuff you are used to if you have used a Palm before, and as I mentioned earlier, it easily syncs with my Notes and lives happily alongside the Palm Desktop.
All in all, I'm very pleased. If you have used any Garmin product before, you have very little learing curve. If you haven't, it's not that difficult. Just follow the instructions to the letter, and you will be fine. Look around for good deals, because they are coming down in price due to the introduction of the M-series.
Installation software and map downloader are amaterish, completly unprofessional.......2006-07-25
While que3200 is extremely attractive to Palm owners, it has probably the most unprofessional installation software I saw in several years. Looks like shareware. And I suspect that my problems with the unit are not unique and might be common to those who already have Palm desktop on their PC.
The installation process consists of several steps: installing Palm desktop, installing maps, selecting the initial map and syncing the unit. The last step is prone to errors and error messages are not very informative to say the least.
If you are installing on the same PC that has your existing Palm desktop, the existing Palm configuration overwrites some of the settings for Que3200: buttons is one such thing that I noticed and that you need to be aware of. You need to restore the value of the buttons manually after you did initial sync, so it might make sense to write down the settings before you sync the unit the first time.
If you have VMware or Microsoft Virtual PC you might benefit doing installation on a separate image.
Also the initial installation presuppose that that it is performed without SD card. Do not do that. Buy SD card and install everything with it. You might be able to avoid some troubles that I got into. For example if you do not have SD card you cannot load detailed maps and the unit is pretty much useless as only basic maps are installed. Moreover later you can run into problems with installing detailed maps: the important step is to delete all maps you loaded before you start loading new detailed maps on the SD. This is not documented in Que3200 installation documentation but is important.
I run into several other problems including strange errors during download of maps to the unit via Hotsync. In retrospect it was due to my mistake (I also have c320 and mixed maps) but error messages are cryptic and you probably will not be able to resolve the problem without tech support. For example after I reset the unit "just in case" and start getting strange message: after transferring maps the unit flashed an error message "Can't unlock Maps" and stops here.
I eventually resolved the problem with tech support that proved to be very professional, but I am still depressed that they come to the market with such amateurish installation software and such badly written documentation. Also during the process I discovered wonders of Garmin FAQs (the quality is pretty telling and suggest completely dysfunctional company where left hand does not know what right is doing).
I think navigational software was written by different team because it is pretty much OK.
All-in-all you need to be very careful installing the software for the unit and based on my experience might benefit from:
1. Buying CD card immediately before starting the installation ( Kingston 512M card works for me).
2. Calling tech support to help you with it if you already has Palm desktop. Be especially careful with the buttons and the switch to detailed maps (if you did not have SD card during initial installation).
Attaching the unit to the car windshield is very tricky too. The unit need to be positioned vertically and it obscures the view. The suction cup that comes with the unit is smaller than for the C320 and looks much less reliable (I wonder why they cannot unify them?). You need to be prepared that it can fall off.
Also while from this point of view it is better to put as low on windshield as possible to that it has additional support, you it the screen id too far from you cannot see the screen in bright daylight.
I ended putting it pretty high (just under rearview mirror). In this case you need to delete the flap that protects the screen and during the ride unit shakes quite substantially. I suspect that it can evertually come off on after a large bump.
Please note that my troubles were generally limited to installation and after you manage to get the unit working it works OK. Building quality of the unit itself is high and GPS picks up satellites as quickly as C320.
One problem that I have is that if you leave it in the cradle for a night with GPS "on" it discharges the battery, but if you take it with you often forget to open GPS before putting it back in the cradle. I think that problem will disappear with practice.
Navigational software works as well as in C320 (I think it is the same) and due to the fact it is on Palm the unit is more flexible than C320 although it costs approximately $100 less. There is an integration between the address book and navigation and this feature alone worth the price of the unit. Also you can modify the route using waypoints. That's very helpful and a way better that functionality of C320.
I think that Garmin is losing a lot of money due to problems with software and despite high quality of the unit itself: many user return it because of installation problems. I myself was ready to send the unit back. I still have it because I just run out on 30 days return period :-). It is a very sad situation because after you install everything Que3200 is not a bad deal taking into account a low price and high building quality of the unit. They might be well advised to spend some money on improving installation software, documentation and FAQs.
