StreetPilot GPS

we have the 2610, awesome for street navigation, finding places to eat/sleep/shop etc. if you put in a nme such as "hungry jacks" find the one you are looking for, it even has the phone number of the place! in the bush, its ok! canopy cover can make it lose satalites (dont know what its like for other units, guess it would be the same). one thing it cant do is load bush maps!!! like buying a HP ipaq second hand and get the gps thing for it and then you can buy the roof top maps, and they are awesome offroad

Hi, yes I bought one last year, have to agree real good, never used one before and have found this easy to use, even has a nice Lady telling me where to go, wow ah, it does not cover all minor roads but even then it does show where you are and what direction you are going in, can keep a log of trips, eg speed travelled etc, all in all, very pleased with it.

Hi Capt. Wrongway,
I have had a Garmin Street Pilot 2610 for the last two years.The best $1700-00 i have spent.Would advise using an external arial as you can lose the signal without it in amongst high rise buildings or canopy cover in the scrub.
I have the progam downloaded in my lap-top and it is exellent for working out Routes and way points at your leisure on the Computer then download them in a few seconds to the 2610. I tow a 24foot van and drive with complete confidence in any of the Capital Cities, something i would not have attempted with out it. Exellent Unit!!

I reackon the 2610 is the wrongway..lol Before you buy you should check out the Garmin Quest for quite a few reasons, 1 smaller and compact, 2 has trackbac, 3 has a 20hr internal recharchable battery , best you read the info at this link
www.ja-gps.com.au/garmin_quest_1.html A few of the truckies I work with say they won't stay where they put them on a Kenworth Dash ,also the Quest would be better on a bike also read this post No 33470

Garmin 2610 top unit, need city nav 6 covers all highways and byways, had mine for 3 years. City nav 5 does not cover byways. Metro guide does not auto route.

Hi Bazza

You may recall our earlier contact regarding buying/selling a 120.

We'll be driving Melbourne to Sydney on the 8th June. (and back again on the 12th)
Just wondering if there's a chance we could take a quick squiz at your Prado 120 on the way through?
We might be interested in buying it at the end of the year.
