Garmin Quest 2


Preloaded with North American Map Database

If you're looking for a powerful companion to lead the way on your next road trip or your next trip across town, the Garmin Quest 2 is worth a serious look. With a brilliant 256-color display, and a massive points of interest database, the Quest 2 has all the basics covered. Plus, with a weight of just 5.5 ounces and a width of 4.5 inches, the unit is compact and transportable,


Navigating to nearly six million preprogrammed points of interest is quick and easy.


The Quest 2's trip computer keeps you up to date during your travels.
making it easy to use wherever your travels take you.

The Quest 2's control pad has been designed to make it easy to make selections and switch between modes, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road. The bright, 2.2-by-1.5-inch display is readable in bright sunlight and features 240 x 160 pixel resolution. Both the display and the keypad are backlit for night driving. An included speaker attachment that is built into the 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter enables the Quest 2 to deliver voice prompts, while an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers 20 hours of power when you're outside your vehicle. A flip-up antenna that communicates with up to 12 GPS satellites is provided, as is a USB port for PC connectivity. There's also an MCX-type connector for hooking up an optional external GPS antenna. And if you need waterproofing, the Quest 2 is up to the challenge; it meets IEC 60529 IPX7 standards, which means it's submersible in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.



The Quest 2 packs a lot of functionality into a small package. See its features in detail.
You can choose between a map view or a trip computer mode that provides a large speed display, odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. The Quest 2's route planner lets you save 50 routes and preview all the maneuvers you'll need to make on a given route. Plus, you can automatically sort multiple destinations to provide an efficient route for deliveries and sales calls. Or if you know where bad traffic exists, you can tell the device to avoid certain areas. And with the Quest 2's One-Button Home feature you can find the quickest route home no matter where you are.

Another time- and frustration-saving feature of the Quest 2 is the database of preloaded maps and points of interest. Gone are the days of uploading partial maps from your computer to your GPS device: the Quest 2 has them all built in. The unit comes preloaded with Garmin's highly detailed City Select NT street data of the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Finding points of interest along your route is made easy with the Quest 2's huge built-in database of nearly six million hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin has also made it easy for users to upload custom points of interest via a PC, as well as up to 500 waypoints with names, categories, comments, and graphic symbols. Last but not least, the Quest 2 has 140 MB of extra storage space for uploading supplemental Garmin map products like U.S. Topo, U.S. Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots, and BlueChart.

garmin quest 2 purchase

This is a great device. You just plug it in to the car lighter, put the holder attachment to the windshied, and turn on , and you are ready to navigate.
It works in the vehicle and out. The instructions are clear. it is FUN to use. Whenever i use it I find something new with it. The voice is very pleasing to the ears and the Garmin Quest is very accurate.


Garmin Quest II

I have owned many handheld and car GPSs over the past 15 years, many Garmins and a few from other manufacturers. This one is the best. Handsdown. Very good battery life, and since it comes pre-loaded with all the roads in the USA there is no need to fuss with Garmin's very quirky (read difficult to load and get running) software. This one works great in your car with the lady telling you where to go and what to do, and it also works great as a hand held. I recommend it with no reservations.


Serves a specific need

This unit has everything I was looking for in a GPS nav.Preprogramed detailed maps,portability and ability to operate independent of any external connections.Additionally,the thing fits in my shirt pocket.Suction mount is secure and adjustable.Speaker is crisp,vioce is understandable and not too annoying.I do not use the verbal feature.Map drawing is more then acceptable,but could be faster.Same goes for reroute time.Purchased it through the market place.Got a great deal


Garmin Quest II

Order this for my boss and he loves it. It seems to be working great.


It's OK But.......

I had a Quest which was recently lifted from my luggage at the airport. I was going to replace it but decided to get the Quest 2. I wish I had gone with the original Quest.
(1). The U.S. maps are locked in. I cannot remove them. As long as you are in the U.S. of A. you're OK but I'm in Europe. I do not have enough memory (35mb) to create the maps that I need. I now have to take my laptop on every trip to upload the next section of maps that I need. With the Quest, I could load much more (115mb). As I am going back to the states eventually, it won't be that big a deal but I still like the option of having full control over the maps.
(2). There are minor changes to the unit from the original Quest. One is the routing. When you select a waypoint and tell the unit to route to it, the unit does not give the indication that it's doing anything. The old Quest would display "Calculating" and a percentage done at the top of the screen until finished. The Quest 2 shows a tiny question mark with the cursor.
All in all it's not a bad unit but with the option of memory cards in other units and some of the other features I will be going with one of them when it's time...
