valeriek Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Received my Quest2 about a week ago . . . great machine. Only problem is smallish screen - need my reading glasses to get the detail. However, glasses not needed to follow turn directions so it is quite functional. I am going to Nova Scotia next week - it had sufficient detail built into the maps to get me to Cape Bretton, but was a bit lite on POIs. Link to comment
TampaJim Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 You did't day if you hooked it up to power. Makes a BIG difference I found . I also remounted mine back to almost touching the tankbag. That helped . Link to comment
Couchrocket Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Does the Quest 2 have a microdrive that stores all the map data? If so, have you had any problems w/ vibration on the bike causing problems w/ microdrive? TIA Link to comment
valeriek Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 I plugged the automobile power plug into a power socket in my tank bag - seems to work great. Have had no problem with the microdrive (i.e., no skipping, etc.) I cannot hear the voice commands as I am hard of hearing anyway - but don't really need them. Link to comment
smiller Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I would have to believe that the memory in a Quest 2 is completely solid state. Garmin has done away with the microdrive in all the new models, even the larger units. Link to comment
