Don't Let the Small Size Fool You!

Pros "Via points", highly customizable, easy-to-use, excellent maps, sturdy mount,...
Cons Memory not expandable; battery cannot be replaced. No 3-D view, no touchscreen.

Within a week I purchased a Garmin Streetpilot c330, a Magellan Roadmate 300 (RM300), and the Garmin Quest. I kept the Quest -- it's not just a better value priced at hundreds less, it's actually a far better GPS. The Quest is effectively a miniaturized Garmin Streetpilot 2610, one of the best and...

I've used many, this is the best!!

Pros Great screen, quick processor for routing & redrawing. Fantastic value.
Cons No carrying case included, more user memory is always helpful.
Recommended it? Yes

Wow. That's all I can say. I've been a GPS fan for almost 5 years now. I've owned a Garmin eMap, Garmin eTrex Vista, a Socket Bluetooth GPS that I used with my old PocketPC & laptop, and an iTrek Mouse GPS for use with my Treo 600 and laptop. I've used several different software packages, from... Read full review »

Great product, compact design, so-so manual

bysamasalabamas Jul 27, 2005
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, great screen, lightweight.
Cons Manuals leave quite a bit to be desired, some mapping data is out-of-date.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this for an upcoming road trip and have been testing (playing with it) for a week now. I'm really pleased. It has done everything I was expecting it to do.

First Impression

The unit is smaller than I expected. The whole thing is only about 4.5" by 2.2", and less than... Read full review »

byfritz_t_coyote Jul 20, 2006
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Inexpensive, compact, portable, easy to use.
Cons Limited memory size requires you to manage mapsets on your PC.
Recommended it? Yes

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.

What's In The Box

The Quest comes with an AC-charger and USB cable (for when you hook it up to your... Read full review »

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

Quest Pros, versus GPS V:

A Great Product....

bywhispertoo Oct 7, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Economical. Easy to use after short learning period- Excellent audio- quickly...
Cons Screen a tad small but OK. Expandable memory desirable but capacity is adequate.
Recommended it? Yes

Took it to Las Vegas on the second day I had it and it got me to my hotel at night in spite of 3 construction detours which forced me to repeatedly ignore the unit's voice commands- but no worry- it quickly recalculated each time and rerouted me perfectly. I used it for a week in the Las Vegas-... Read full review »

Exceeded expectations in every way

Pros A very versatile unit at a great price with very good bundled software.
Cons Lack of internal memory, location of speaker.
Recommended it? Yes

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 for handheld use on trails as well as for the... Read full review »

How did I live without this thing?!?

Pros Works perfectly, small size, voice prompts, easy to use
Cons None!
Recommended it? Yes

I moved to Boston about nine months ago and was having the worst time driving around. Basically, I was constantly lost. I couldn't drive anywhere by myself because I always had to have someone there to navigate for me. That was until I received a Garmin Quest for Christmas.

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

Pros Small size, easy to read screen, perfect performance.
Cons Would like a screen protector and, as always, more memory
Recommended it? Yes

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.

After some testing of the routing... Read full review »

Great GPS for traveling with a rental car

byham_radio_dude Aug 8, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros pocket sized, downloadable maps, color screen, voice prompts, lithium battery
Cons small screen size, voice prompts only with 12V charger
Recommended it? Yes

This very reasonably-priced GPS has the color screen and routing features of the big guys, but small enough to slip into your shirt or coat pocket and run off the built-in lithium-ion batteries. It's 100+MB memory will hold detailed maps and points of interest (e.g., restaurants, attractions) for... Read full review »
