I spend 9 hours to figure out what was going on i couldn't download the map i had to call garmin then i called seller no help at all no one knows what was error finally i figured out but then i tryed on highway you know what there is no signal at all i had to wait for about 10 minutes to get a signal i shipped the item back to seller he refused to accept it but thank god Amazon.com A-Z guaranted claim.
And when I am off the bike, I just took it with me in seconds.Great GPS. almost the whole day working (depending on the light function). I mean. the screen is little, but is all that I need. This GPS is the best device I have on my motorcycle. Is light weight, backlight, doesn't have to be connected to the bike, battery life is great. and is rain resistant.Yes.
The Garmin Quest GPS is very easy to use and has a lot of options for creating more than one route. On some of our trips we can't quite download all the maps that I would like, however with that being said it didn't stop me from buying the second unit. This recent purchase, Garmin Quest is the second Quest unit I have purchased. My only wish is that it would hold more than 115K of information.
for around[.]. it does not really hurt the hip pocket. Here in the mid-west I was able to add 23 maps which covers the majority of the 4 states around my location which works for me.I mounted it to my clipon handlebars using a RAM-B-149-GA15 / RAM U-BOLT MOUNT W/ GA15U HOLDER setup (customer image uploaded) from [.]. With all that said I would probably get a Quest II as my next purchase as there are no maps to download if you travel a lot.
Waterproof, lasts hours on a charge, nice and small but viewable especially with auto-zoom enabled and for [.]. It probably has scores more adjustable settings than is really required. A great investment for a small price tag. I might also add that I have ALL sound turned off as I would not be able to hear it due to wind noise whilst riding and the speaker plugs into a 12v outlet which I dont have nor want on my bike.This quest has basic interstates and highway for the whole US but if you require more detail like streets, names, POI, etc then you must have maps loaded into it. It Appears to be brand new except for the 'newly overhauled' sticker on the box.This unit is no where near as easy to operate as my touch screen Garmin C330 in my truck and I suggest sitting down for a couple of hours just playing with it and you should become very conversant with its operation and features. For most users the default options will probably be all that is required. The number of maps you can add largely depends on if there are major cities which are larger. It does give an adjustable and convenient motorcyle solution though which can easily be removed to stop theft.Using it with gloved hands is not easy but I just put in the destination and of I go.
Configuration and MapSource software is a little hard at first but within a couple of hours I found I was flying around the menus and software with ease. Firstly I bought this as an additional aid when sport/touring on my Suzuki SV650S to be used in conjunction with a map on my tank bag.My criteria was:WaterproofBattery powered and rechargeable (I did not want to run a 12v outlet)Small (but still able to read easily)PriceThe re-manufactured Quest fit all these criteria.I was pleasantly surprised when I received it. For battery operation on a motorcycle a few power saving options need to be set to maximize battery life between charging. I dont need to touch it after that.Conclusion: I love it.
I like the screens and functions of the Garmin V, and this unit is very similar, with notable differences of a color screen (although ever-so-slightly smaller than the V), automatic changes to a night vision screen, greater memory capacity, is more compact for ease of carry and has a really long built-in battery life. My only complaint is I wish the screen was a little larger, similar to the Nuvi models Garmin makes. I bought this as a replacement of my older Garmin V, and is primarily used on my motorcycles. The Garmin V requires 4 AA batteries, and went though them pretty fast.Thus far it's been functioning perfectly, and receives satellite signals faster than the V.
