Does anyone know of a way to improve the accuracy of this unit. I am not
real satisfied with the accuracy when locating a USGS monument. I had
better luck with an old Garmin StreetPilot. It would get me very close
to the monument.

OK, now a really basic/dumb question. Where is the plug on the iQue
3600 for an external antenna?

Thank you, Anton. I was expecting the connection point to be quite a
bit larger, say the size of the thing on the top far left-hand side of
the unit. Do you know what the larger, uncovered opening is for?

My accuracy is typically around 10 meters or better.

What is your signal strength?
