hi guys, Im a newbie to gps, and have got an iq3600.
Anyone used these things before? Seems like i can navigate anywhere in the world, except here!! There are no garmin maps for this area, and without some form of base map to begin with...seems like i cant add routes, waypoints or anything.
Tried several other gps softwares ...but none so far work with the palm based iq3600.
Anyone living in Dubai got a couple of hours to spare??
Thanks in advance
Robert

Hi Klaus the problem I have with iq3600 is if i connect to laptop via usb... other softwares dont output to usb so i cant get a connection. If i connect via serial rs232 cable to com port on laptop..the iq being a palm device, holds up the port so other softwares cannot acess the same port.. either way i get no communication.
The mapsource stuff works ok whichever way i connect ..but its useless here
The software you use? ..did you not have these problems.
All i want to do is enter some waypoint next time i drive of the road and into the sand ..record my trip , and find my way back !! And use the rout again sometime..
