Garmin Quest

Type: Automobile, Display Type: TFT, Power: Adapter, Turn-by-turn: yes, Dimensions: 4.5 x 2.2 .1.0 inches, Power: B...

Built in lithium ion battery, auto shutoff, small size, bright antireflective screen.

Somewhat unintuitive interface. Sound through cigarette-lighter adapter.

The Garmin Quest is the smallest in-car GPS system we have reviewed so far. Its portability and built-in battery make it an attractive choice for those that want to use the unit outside of the car. The small screen is bright and good to see even in sunlig

Garmin Quest (GPS receiver)

Noticeably missing from the Quest, however, is an expansion slot for carrying extra maps. Although the Quest's 115MB of internal memory is more than you'll find in most handheld systems, it suffers from the lack of a CompactFlash or SD memory card slot...

Compact; strong receiver; solid mounting device; impressive battery life.

No memory card or hard drive for storage; users have to download maps.

The versatile and ultraportable Garmin Quest delivers accurate street-level directions whether you're driving or walking.

Product Specifications

The GPSMAP 76 is designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System. This unit features a built-in quad helix antenna for superior reception and can provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.The GPSMAP 76 has an internal memory capacity of eight megabytes. In addition, it comes with a built-in basemap of cities, coastlines, lakes, rivers, interstates, and interstate exit information and a database of nautical navaids.This unit has eight megabytes of internal user memory for storing optional MapSource - detailed maps, including marine cartography. This memory is preloaded from the factory with worldwide cities (populations greater than 200, 000) and nautical navigation aids such as lights, buoys, sound signals and day beacons. The GPSMAP 76 is also preloaded with tide data for the United States.An extra-large display measuring 1.6"W x 2.2"H gives users a clear view of information, while a waterproof case means the GPSMAP 76 will keep working well even if it has been submerged in water. Even more amazing, this unit will actually float if accidentally dropped in the water.
