I also took a while in deciding between the Quest and the 2610/2620 and finally decided on the 2610 for a couple of reasons - I chose it over the 2620 due to it having a memory card vs. the mini hard disk (I upgraded to a 1GB card from the shipped 128MB for less than $100.00). I suspect the CF card will be a little more stable off-roading. Though I cannot load the entire US into, I can load the entire northern half of the US into it which is far more than I need.

I have used the Garmin GPS-V for a couple of years now for both the woods and navigating roads (this unit is essentially the B/W version of the Quest less a couple of features). I gotta say...the screen is definately smaller and you won't appreciate that until you see one side-by-side - I didn't realize by how much until I received the 2610 - what a difference! As I also use the GPS for hiking and hunting, I was considering the Quest partly because it allows for portability due to re-chargeable batteries, unfortunately they are permanent and cannot be replaced with a fresh set - re-charge only. My GPS-V uses AA batteries and the 19MB memory holds all of the Topo sets I need (which almost all of Vermont, NH and Maine). I will be using this waterproof model for trekking the Great North woods.

I also went with the 2610 over the Quest because I was sold on the voice-guidance feature which I am now quickly finding to be an awesome feature while driving - I now look at the screen only a couple of times during a guided route.

All-in-all, no regrets. Oh yea, I only paid $850.00 for it with an external Titan III (how fitting is that?) antenna and am axiously awaiting a $100.00 rebate which I believe is good through October and maybe into early November.

Whatever you go with, I'm sure it'll be right for you!

my .02 + tax.
