I'm a noob to the GPS stuff and have sort of narrowed down my search to the quest 2 or 2610 series, I like the portability of the Quest 2 and rechargable batteries but the 2610 seems to have a better memory , does anyone have experience with these 2 models? Thanks
I own and use a Quest 2. I've never used a 2610. What kind of information are you looking for specifically? Jamie
I'm looking for something that I can take on the bike, in the car as well as some hiking wheter it be in cities or on trails, not too worried about 3d or barometer etc. just a decent GPS with maps, color would be great I have an old Magellen 2000XL that was useless without a map. Do you find the screen on the Quest 2 OK to use on the bike? It seems like it may be too small? How long do find the batteries to last?
I've been using the 2610 for a while now and it's a fantastic piece of kit. I've had a play with a mate's Quest and there's no comparison from a use-ability point of view. The Quest's screen is way too small, and the lack of a touch screen makes it very tedious to enter data.
I have no experience with the Quest 2 but the 2610 has no internal power source, you must use a 12V source from the vehicle or an aftermarket battery pack. That plus the size of the 2610 would make it awkward for hiking.
