 Worth the investment October 13, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I travel a great deal for work and the directions you pull online often are not very accurate. As a result I decided to invest in GPS. I did alot of research and settled on this unit based on the price and the reviews. Overall I am happy with the purchase. This unit is small enough that I can bring it on a plane and use it in rental cars. The maps are easy to lose and pretty accurate. The storage is sufficient for what I need it for. It is easy to set up and program. There are units out there with more "bells and whistles"- but for the price this unit does the job well.
 good product but I like Garmin i3 street pilot better. October 7, 2006

This a good GPS, but only good. It is fairly inexpensive and very portable. However, my father has the Garmin i3 Street Pilot and I feel that it is a better option. Even though the Quest has more option than the i3, it is so hard to navigate through that most people will not even use those options. The i3 is simple to use, quick and does the job.
Nice Product, But Garmin has TERRIBLE Customer Service September 7, 2006

I have a problem with mine, and I have tried to call their CS line 6 times, and all 6 times I was put on hold for over 45 minutes. I finally gave up. In fact, once I left the room, and came back 90 minutes later, and I was still on hold.
I also e-mailed them and got zero response.
 Everything exactly as advertised August 28, 2006

This GPS is perfect for those who want a little more than just A-to-B navigation. I'm used to programming routes with multiple waypoints (not just individual segments), and the Quest is, as far as I can tell, the ONLY car GPS in this price range that will do that. It's quick on the recalculations and accurate on directions. Most people have complained about the database, but no database has all updates--try comparing w/Google Maps.
PROS:
Programmable routes--not just single legs. (The main reason I bought this--this feature is only found elsewhere on MUCH more expensive models. I wonder why Garmin doesn't seem to push the Quest...?)
Quick & Accurate Positioning
Route calculation very fast
Suction cup sticks like glue
CONS:
Can't hold the entire US (although the Quest II can)--though carrying a laptop solves that.
Interface not entirely intuitive (but quickly fixed w/practice)
Suction cup sticks like glue ;-)
If you want a practical all-purpose GPS that gives you flexibility to do more than get directions to the next point, this is the one for you. It doesn't have audible street names, a touch screen, or large size (but I think a lot of experienced GPS users--including me--consider those a low priority anyway). But it has everything anyone used to aviation GPS's could want for the road, and at an incomparable price. If it could hold the entire map database, I'd give it the full five stars without any reservation.

Purchased Garmin Quest on the advice of Fred Langa (LangaList)....was not disappointed....for a relatively low price, the Garmin Quest fills all my GPS needs....software install was flawless....learning to program and use the device took about an hour....have used it on several trips two months after purchase with no mapping errors noted....solid product!
