iQue Launcher with Macros - Info and download
New! (Feb 25 2005) Version 1.06b1 available

Many applications are difficult to use in the car, besides being quite dangerous. There are some functions on the iQue that require stylus entry. In comparison, automotive GPS units be easily navigated and controlled with simple controls.

FastFinger is a launcher with macro capabilities. It allows you to control the iQue using hard button presses and large screen buttons. With two finger taps, you can route to home, find the nearest gas station, set a detour, or perform any number of functions.
