Garmin,
well known for their GPS receivers
and GPS-enabled PDAs, added the GPS-enabled M5
Pocket PC to their lineup in 2004. The iQue M5 was the first Windows Mobile addition to the iQue family, comprised,
until the then, solely of Palm OS devices.
The
Garmin iQue M5 pulled double duty as it was a full-featured Pocket PC as well as a full-featured GPS. Features included a 416MHz XScale processor, Windows
Mobile 2003 SE, 64MB of RAM, and onboard Bluetooth.
The M5 did not have a VGA display, but did
have a 3.5" QVGA screen capable of displaying
over 65,000 colors.
With a built-in map of major highways in North
and South America, the iQue M5 shiped with a
CD-ROM containing detailed street maps which
can be transferred to the M5 for any particular
area.
The
integrated Secure Digital slot allowed for additional
memory for large amounts of map data storage
or SDIO peripherals.
