 Nice GPS for the Money May 19, 2007
Very nice product, but the routing seems to take you on all kinds of side trips no matter what your settings. I've used this in a small aircraft, in a personal vehicle, handheld, and in my work vehicle to track my location and movements.. I would buy it again.
 MAPS HOPELESSLY OUTDATED MAKE THIS USELESS! April 13, 2007
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have had a quest for about 6 months now and find this a very frustrating unit to work with.
Recently went on a trip to California from Arizona and all went well until I got to California. Although I had maps loaded for the location I went to (Sacramento) the maps were outdate by as much as 2 yrs.
Here in Arizona where I live south of Phoenix there have been a lot of new developments and there's a loop that's been completed and in existence for about a year and a half and it doesn't show on the map.
Garmin will go to great lenghts to ask you to report the issue but will not do anything to resolve it.
This is pretty much useless as the area I drive around has been much developed but there are no street or road displays anywhere on the most current version of the map.
FORGET GARMIN!
RUN AWAY from this product unless you want to be frustrated out of your mind.
Great all around navigator April 1, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My first GPSr's where Garmin V's, which were a little dated with slower processor, black screen, small storage capacity etc. I did like the horizontal format though, so was attracted to the Quest. I have had this unit for 2 years, and it has performed flawlessly. The screen is superb, and the controls are easy to use. The unit is so small it is easy to pocket. The only negative I can think of is the built in rechargable battery, which can't be swapped out on a hike. The battery has good life, but on multi-day back packs this unit stays home. A 60C is better for multi-day treks and has the same great screen. The quest mounts better in a car though, and can talk to you in that sexy Garmin lady voice. It is a nice little navigator, and comes with the full North America road maps.
 Garmin Quest problem to boot up March 25, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you have problem to boot your Garmin Quest recently, don't panic, your system is fine. The only problem is that Garmin's technical support sucks, they should have let us know what have happened.
I was trying to use my GPS system this morning and it cannot boot up. After hours searching on internet and i found nothing. I finally found my manual and read it through again. There is a reset keys combination -- hold power key and In key at the same time. It will reset the unit and it can boot up. However, if you turn it off, it won't come back. You still have to reset it next time.
I got some feeling this has to do with the day light savings time. You know, this year's day light savings time started on March 11th. I went to Garmin's website try to find if they have software updates for the unit. Unfortunately their Webupdater software always got an error when I tried to install it(sucks). I then found out their latest software for the unit is 4.0 and was released on Aug 07, 2006 and I already have it on my unit.
Now I realized I might need change something in my unit. I went to Menu -> Time Setup and found out the time is still not changed to day light savings
time. After some thoughts, I finally figured out the problem. I had the
Daylight Saving as auto. Since the unit's software still keep the old rules
about the Daylight Savings time, the time on the unit is 1 hour late than the time on satellite. I guess this actually cause some confusions and the unit got locked up everytime you use it.
The good news is after I changed the Daylight Saving to "Yes", the time become current and i don't have problem to boot it up anymore.
If you have the same problem, today is your lucky day. I spent couple hours and finally figured out the problem and I am really happy about it. I almost went ahead to buy a new one and hope this information will help you as well.

The Garmin Quest is a great GPS, I use it on my motorcycle and in my car without any problems. The only disadvantage it has is difficulty in entering addresses while driving. Which isn't really a big deal if you're patient. Excellent product.
