I was about to buy a Garmin Quest 2 for motorcycle use, when I found a web site offering the StreetPilot 2610 at £15 less than the Quest 2!

I have studied the specs again and again and both seem to be good

Which is the better buy (for a motorcycle)?

Quest2

The screen on the 2610 is no good* for outdoor use in sunlight.

Also the Quest can be used off the bike. i.e. in the hotel room / bar for planning tomorrows route.


*The Quest screen is far, far, better.

Thanks for the reply!

I thought of that, below is an extract from the review of the 2610 on this site:

"One of the best points about the Street Pilot 2610, 2620 and 2650 is it has an anti-reflective coating on the screen. Coupled with it's superb brightness and contrast, this really is one of the better screens I have seen in a PDA type system. Even in the brightest of sunlight where a Pocket PC (even a HP!) starts to white out, the Street Pilot 2610, 2620 and 2650 seemed to be unaffected, and I was really amazed at the quality of the screen!

That's got to have been written before the Quest appeared.

Put a Quest and a 2610 side by side in the sunlight and there is no contest.

The 2610 may have a coating but the Quest has a differnt type of screen.

And the Quest 2 takes the speed camera database. Realy important if you have a wrist that is just a tad heavy Laughing
