Garmin Quest II

[Devils Advocate]

I gather the II has been out a few months now - does anyone have any experience of it (not the original Quest)?

Also any deals anywhere?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply - it appears the Quest II might be a bit new (or unpopular?!)

The feature you mention is one of the features I was keen on (for touring).
A few of the others that the Quest II has that were of interest to me were:

1. Multiple waypoint route planner preprogrammable on PC

2. Waterproof (in an open top car!)

3. Slim pocket size (again easy to take with you when leaving the car)

4. I'm told there is a POI with speed cameras on it available from www.pocketgps.co.uk (maybe you can get one there for the Quest I ?).

5. It has an earphone output (for intercom headset connection)

6. It has full Street Level mapping of Europe included

7. There's also a Bike Kit available that could be useful in an open top car.

My only concern at the moment is that I've not found anyone else who's got one!

Daz, As I understand it the Quest II has full postcode search (and touchscreen) so seems to cover most requirements.

Adam, thanks for that, at least one other person has one
Did you manage to find anywhere to get a good deal on it?

Racefan, not sure of any other differences but the II does have full UK postcode and OS grid ref search (that I don't think the 'original' one supports?

I think the (speed camera) POI's are available free from several places.
