    Garmin Quest ! A new era in GPS Navigation...

    By Tommy Hennessee  Sep 16, 2004 | 12 out of 14 found this Garmin Quest review helpful

    Pros: Portability & UseAbility

    Cons: Maps not up to date, only 115 mb, difficult to read & hear

    Even though I may seem critical of the Garmin Quest, this is the best overall street GPS on the market. This product outshines most of the high dollar factory installed in the high dollar cars. I can not think of anything else I wish this product w...ould do except call out traffic conflicts like an aircraft with TCAS. (one day I'm sure it will).After one day without reading the instruction manual, my wife and I were operating the GPS comfortably and confidently.Considering hard wiring and external antenna and power for her SUV and my truck. The plastic window mount is some what to "wirey". Wish the voice commands would broadcast over the AM / FM radio.Disappointed in the mapping software (sort of). After locating a Target in the data base, it took me to one that had been closed for over a year and could not find the new one built over 2 years ago. Also, located the nearest Maria Calendars in Dallas when I knew of one just about two miles away in San Antonio. Yes, I did an update.These were some of the "very few" grips I had. If I were to write the pros of the unit I would be here for days!!!!Will buy one for my wife and would recommend the Garmin Quest to all my friends and recommend the one I have on my iPAQ to all my enemies.

    Awesome Pocket Size GPS

    By Muthusamy N  Sep 9, 2004 | 6 out of 7 found this Garmin Quest review helpful

    Pros: compact, easy to install, nice one to have for lower price

    Cons: no option to add additional memory

    My first ever GPS system just arrived today, it was very impressive at first look. Then I was worried about its quality and installation. It took 15 minutes to read all the guide breifly, transfer city select maps, and mounting on the wind sheild gla...ss. There is no word to describe its accuracy or off route recalculation. I would write more if I find any pros or cons.. One think I want to know (learn) is how to avoid particular (specified) highway, it has the ability to choose (mark) on the map (starting point and end point to avoid). But I like to see as an option where just choose the highway I want avoid from the listed highway. Overall, if you want to buy one with compact then don't delay..Good Luck !-Muthu. Read more Less

    Excellent value and performer

    By Phillip  Jan 9, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Garmin Quest review helpful

    Pros: Size is just right and performance is unbelievable.

    Cons: None noted so far. Only limitation is memory size, but it should not pose a problem as it can contain more that enough download.

    Garmin has a real winner with the Quest. It is the perfect unit in terms of price and operation. It is easy to use and the fact that it is portable makes it very nice to work with. Performance should be on a par with any other units on the market..., but at a fraction of the price. If you are looking for a reasonably priced Vehicle GPS unit this is the one for you.

    Excellent GPS

    By Dave  Dec 15, 2004 | 2 out of 3 found this Garmin Quest review helpful

    Pros: Easily viewable screen, excellent directions, portable, easy to use

    Cons: No touch screen

    Have been using for about 1 month and I'm very happy with it. I was worried about the small screen, but mounted on my windshield I never have a problem reading it. Easily slips out of the mounting kit so you can take it with you to protect from... being stolen. The step by step navigation and mapping is fast and good.There is no touch screen, so it can be a little cumbersome to enter an address or find a place because you have to use arrow keys and an on screen keyboard. But once you have entered where you're going it works like a charm. Fast recalculation if you go off course. Accuracy is excellent, usually within 15 feet for me. Memory size is adequate. All of Colorado is about 20-25 MB I think, so I could probably have Colorado and every state touching Colorado in it at one time if I wanted. May be less for states with more roads like out east.Overall, it's a great little GPS for less money than the larger car-only models, plus you can use it outside the car if you want. Read more Less

    Garmin Quest UK

    By lee  Sep 15, 2004 | 5 out of 10 found this Garmin Quest review helpful

    Pros: Portability meets capability in the pocket-sized Garmin Quest™. This easy-to-use unit is loaded with the high-end navigation features from our most popular GPS navigators, and best of all, it's portable. So, you can use it in multiple vehicles — or slip it in your pocket for handy street-level directions when you're navigating on foot.

    Cons: None

    Automatic routing with turn-by-turn directions and voice guidance to get you where you're going High-speed processor means fast automatic off-route and detour recalculation Rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery that provides up to 20 hours of... use USB data connection for fast map downloads from Garmin's entire line of MapSource CDs 256-color, bright, sunlight-readable display makes it easy to view turn-by-turn instructions and map detail Smaller than a standard television remote, the Quest provides an ample screen viewing area, but it won’t demand a lot of room on the dashboard or in the briefcase. The unique antenna folds flush with the unit when not in use and users can connect an optional external antenna as well. Read more Less
