Garmin iQue M3 and GPS 60's at Rosewood Hotels


Garmin is working with Rosewood Hotel and Resorts at its properties in Dallas, Santa Fe and New York to lend guests the Garmin iQue M3 GPS device to help with directions around town during their stay. The service seems to fit well with their luxury hotel accommodations and high end services. The PDA style GPS device was launched this past summer in a flurry of product launches by Garmin (see article) and has its data entered by concierges to allow guests to get to popular attractions around the hotel. The easy to read and easy to understand directions are superior to paper drawn directions and maps.


"Maps can be cumbersome. I'm sure that it will soon change the way visitors navigate around foreign cities," said Robert Boulogne, the COO of the resorts.

We have also learned that the location in the Virgin Islands is using the Garmin GPS 60 for a similar service, but have added some Geocaching locations for guests to help them explore the island. Sounds like a great program to introduce some nice GPS products and the ease of use of GPS's in daily lives.
