I've got the 296 and it works really well (see other thread entitled GPS).. My only thought about the Ique is that it appears to be fairly flimisly clipped into the GPS cradle.

At least you could get an additional memory card with a road database and use it in your as well.

No point in wasting your money, unless you plan to use it in the US. None of its extra features over the 296 can be used in Europe.

I recently bought a 296, and am very pleased with it. The battery life is excellent, at over 10 hours, and the display is prefectly readable in bright sunlight.

so nothing is promised by Garmin like 396 for Europe?
