The StreetPilot 2610 is the newest entry in the line of automotive GPS navigation units from Garmin, one of the leaders in consumer GPS units. It is the successor to the StreetPilot III, which is still being sold and was at the top of Garmin's line of car navigators. The 2610 is a sibling to the... Read full review »

I work as an analyst in the mobile technology industry, and Location Based Products (like the 2610) is one of the areas I cover. I have found this unit to be extremely well designed, and a joy to use. That's from a guy who has tried about 12 similar products.

Never (ok hardly ever) get lost again

Pros (1) Price; (2) Does it all, and generally very well
Cons (1) Small screen; (2) flash memory
Recommended it? Yes

I won't replow the same ground as the other reviews. Most of the other reviewers have compared this to other portable GPS units -- I'll deal with how the Garmin stacks up against the $2000 units. Speficifcally, I have the one from Alpine that is an option on Honda cars these days, and have seen a... Read full review »

I wanted a portable GPS navigator for my car for a long time but due to cost and lack of functionalities I had not acted upon it until now. I recently retired the old car and replaced it with a new one. I almost bought the GPS option but I wanted something portable that I can use in my car, the... Read full review »

Pros Garmin service, memory chip upgrades
Cons Price, map cost, signal loss in large cities, data transfer rate.
Recommended it? Yes

I picked up a new 2610 about nine months ago. One of the primary reasons is because I travel frequently and often arrive in a new city with only a street address and hotel name and limited directions. I figured that, instead of trying to read directions from Mapquest or Yahoo, I would listen to a... Read full review »
