Garmin Quest review: Garmin Quest

 

A number of portable navigation systems, such as the Magellan RoadMate 800 , claim they can be used in the car and on foot, but while they may be compact enough, their odd shapes don't make them ideal walking buddies. The Garmin Quest 2, however, is a...

The Garmin Quest 2 features a nice, compact design that can be used in the car or on foot. Maps are preloaded on the device, and it offers accurate directions in various settings.

The slightly pricey Garmin Quest 2 doesn't have a touch screen and the menus aren't very intuitive. Voice-guided directions are available only through the included vehicle mount/speaker system.

Those looking for a dedicated GPS device in the car and on foot will find the Garmin Quest 2 delivers in portability and performance.

Garmin Quest

 

The Garmin Quest is the smallest in-car GPS navigation unit we've seen yet.

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

Somewhat unintuitive interface. Sound through cigarette-lighter adapter.

This tiny handheld GPS receiver includes maps, intelligent routing algorithms, an intuitive display, and can be programmed with custom data sources or integrated into enterprise applications. Quest is a good alternative to more complex location-aware...

Great GPS for the budget-minded rover

 

The Garmin Quest is a compact, easy to use and helpful multi-purpose GPS. It can be mounted in your car, where it has a friendly voice, or hand-held for your on-foot adventures.

Inexpensive, compact, portable, easy to use

Limited memory size requires you to manage mapsets on your PC

If it can help me cross Los Angeles, it can do anything!

 

My wife bought me the Garmin Quest for my birthday. I travel for business, and often end up in some very remote/rural areas, so this was a great item for me. And, the timing was perfect, as I would be traveling to California from Missouri the next week.

Small size, easy to read screen, perfect performance

Would like a screen protector and, as always, more memory

Quest versus GPS V, a comparison

 

I recently replaced my trusty Garmin GPS V with the Garmin Quest. This review compares and contrasts the Quest to its GPS V predecessor.

small, light, fast, color, good UI, USB, re-charge while in car

car mounting system, possibly a bit slow to get a position fix

This is a very good product. The only downfall is that you must update the cd prior to roaming out of the areas you have already loaded. Sometimes, due to new road construction, it routes you off but the most fantastic part of this is that if you make...

Durable, Easy to use, Good Value

Exceeded expectations in every way

 

Just bought this last month for a two week road & trail trip through Adirondack Park and New York. Let me caveat by saying this is my first GPS so I don't have anything to compare to. I purchased this unit because of favorable reviews and the desire...

A very versatile unit at a great price with very good bundled software

Lack of internal memory, location of speaker
