Just saw this release in one of my trade mags:
"Garmin has introduced a new PDA with a 12 channel WAS receiver to aid a pilot in navigating an aircraft. And on land, the same device can be used in automobiles to provide directions to destinations. The iQue 3600a displays Jeppsen terrain and US obstacle databases when connected to a special cradle that can be mounted on the yoke of a general aviation airplane. Dedicated function keys facilitate the use in the air without having to use the touch-screen controls that are designed for use in cars. The terrain mode provides pop-up alerts of terrain conflicts. .... the unit costs $1099, including the first Jeppsen update."
And the picture is an iQue with a cradle that extends up the right side that has five buttons and a four-way cursor button.
