 not happy with the unit April 22, 2006
14 out of 24 found this review helpful
I am a little disappointed with garmin 2610. Several issues:
1. the satellate signal is weak. I have to put it on the dash to get reasonable satellate signal. I wish it can work by sitting on the seat.
2. no built-in speaker. only with external speaker.
3. use car power supply, no built-in rechargeable batter.
4. the voice prompt does not mention the street name when I need to make a turn. It just says the distance before the turn.
I am not sure whether I will return it eventually.
 Unit works great, but customer service has no clue. April 17, 2006

I have Sp2610 for a while, it wroks great for what I want. It even gives more information than my wife's Lexus factory GPS system. But one thing bad about is their customer service, I have their mapping software City Navigator North America Version 6.0 and update version 7.0. Although V 7.0 is a upgrade from 6.0 and give more POI from 5 Million to 6 Million they claimed. But when you actual do a POI search, V 6.0 will give you more locations. For instance I search Verizon Wireless, Chart House in So Cal, V 6.0 even has older information but it showed you more locations. Locations still in business doesn't show up on V 7.0. I checked on both my SP 2610 unit and Map Source software they provided to run on PC, same thing. Anyway to make a long story short, I emailed Garmin to see if I did somthing wrong when I upgrade from V 6.0 to V 7.0. I got a few emails from their technical people and claimed they purchased their Mapping software from outside vendor, they didn't know why V 7.0 showed less POI and Garmin can't change it. Sounds like pointing finger to their mapping supplier, instead of trying to find out why new mapping software issue. They are even selling $75 for mapping software upgrade.
I don't recommend to buying any software upgrade from Garmin. Cross your finger your unit works, don't count on their technical support which is a joke.
 Motorcycle related GPS March 25, 2006

At the $459 price, the Garmin 2610 GPS is a great GPS for motorcycle use. I acquired a 2 GB Sandisk and put all the maps on this one card. I've already taken a trip from MA to SC using the GPS and it didn't miss.
The reason its a 4 instead of a 5 relates to trying to use the touchscreen on a motorcycle. I feel this is unsafe so I have to pull over to locate nearest gas stations/coffee, etc. Other than this minor inconvenience, its a great product.
 The best GPS for Mac users, but you'll still need Windows March 18, 2006

I have had the 6210 since 2003 and have been very happy. I take this with me all over the country in a video camera bag. Perfect for putting in the rental car in a strange city. You find where you are going plus restaurants and attractions.
Garmin issues regular firmware updates. I upgraded the map once for $75 (the price drops 6 months after release). The best investment was a 2GB CF card which holds all of the US and Canada (Mexico is not an option). As a Mac user I found that VirtualPC was required. There is no Mac compatibility. VirtualPC will recognize the USB connection to the 2610 but will not transfer map data. The workaround is to use a USB 2.0 CF card reader. Just copy the maps directly to the card. Works fast and cleanly. The lack of USB compatibility makes upgrading firmware a process requiring a friend with a Windows machine. Firmware upgrades are fast and do not require software licenses.

I'm quite pleased with the Garmin StreetPilot 2610 In-Car GPS Receiver. The ease of use, accuracy, fast update, and visibility in all lighting conditions are everything I had read. Excellent performance. The touch screen works very well. I'm happy with the purchase.
