Garmin iQue 3600a -- sunlight screen readability?
Folks,
I'M about to start flying again, and so am giving the 3600a a serious look! I currently have one of the original 3600, which is nearly invisible when outdoors. I notice that the 3600a now has a transflective TFT, and so I'm hoping that somebody has tried it and can comment on how visible it is in full sunlight. Thanks! |

Can't speak about the Garmin, would never get one as it runs Palm.
That's just stupid. I have a Dell X50v that works so well with my bluetooth GPS I just sold my Garmin 96C on ebay.

I find the 3600A very readable in the cockpit. It is most readable with the
backlight on. You can select always on and the yoke package will plug into the cigarette lighter so that will not be a problem. The life without additional power is supposed to be 3 hours.

We haven't heard any complaints about the 3600A from those that we have
sold so far. -- Darrel Goheen http://www.tvnav.com "Chuck" wrote in message ink.net... Folks, I'M about to start flying again, and so am giving the 3600a a serious look!

Yes. It's preferable to calling it the "detonator plug". Jose -- Math is a game. The object of the game is to figure out the rules. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

i have a dell axim x30, and it has pretty poor visibility in
sunlight. i know the x50 has a different display - have you ever been able to compare it with the x30? jeff Newps wrote: Can't speak about the Garmin, would never get one as it runs Palm.
