cafemoc,
I've used both the iQue 3600 and the Garmin SP 2610. Except for a vertical vs horizontal screen layout and a slightly higher resolution on the iQue screen they are identical in software operation. The key difference is that the iQue is designed around a stylus interface and the 2610 is built for finger use. Also the 2610 is car only while the 3600 can be used as a handheld. You can use your finger on the 3600, but in a moving car it just isn't practical due to the precision required IMHO. The 2610 was faster at routing and kept a better lock on the satellites than a friend's built-in Nissan Murano system. Finally the touchscreen interface was slightly faster at entering addresses than the Murano joystick.
For me the 2610 fits just about perfectly. I use the sandbag mount and sit it behind the rev counter when in use. For storage the base unclips and both parts fit in the drivers side parcel shelf. I ran the cord down next to the steering wheel and out the back of the parcel shelf to keep things clean.
