Garmin StreetPilot 2610

Pros: Garmin quality, excellent mapping, ability to optimise lists of destinations and touchscreen

Cons: No batteries, somewhat non-standard antenna connection SLIGHTLY limits external antenna flexibility.

The Bottom Line: Buy it - you will not regret it. This is an excellent navigation unit. I personally prefer the 276c, but read the review to find out why.

Review: This is top-based posting, so you need to read what follows to know what the history is. Update: September 15, 2005 Finally (10 weeks after it began) I received my replacement unit from Garmin - to unjam the system I wrote a letter to upper ...

Pros: ease of use using touchscreen interface, cheap alternative to factory navigation

Review: Well I purchased my Garmin 2610 in May 2004. From a well respected GPS specialist in Queensland. A dealer whom I purchased my Garmin eMap from a few years before hand. I live on the Central Coast of New South Wales in Australia. This GPS is my ...

Pros: Great display and re-calculation speed, rich feature set.

Cons: Requires car adapter, should come with larger CF card standard

The Bottom Line: The 2610 is a worthy choice if you are considering a built-in navigation system or if you travel extensively. If your needs aren't as robust, consider the Garmin QUEST.

Review: If you're evaluating the Garmin GPSV, GPS 60c, Quest or 2610/2620 units for auto-navigation use, this review might be of interest to you... I work with the sales staff of a software company whose territory is the entire US and Canada. As such, it is ...

Pros: Fast processor, great touchscreen, easy to use, intuitive, flexible configurations. GPS routing is wonderful.

Cons: The Mapsource software that goes on your PC works, but is complex and non-intuitive.

Review: I work as an analyst in the mobile technology industry, and Location Based Products (like the 2610) is one of the areas I cover. I have found this unit to be extremely well designed, and a joy to use. That's from a guy who has tried about 12 similar ...

Pros: Small, Great Screen, one wire, excellent remote control, great bean-bag mounting system, accurate.

Cons: takes a minute or two to locate satelites. should come w/ a bigger CF card.

Review: ** Before I walked into BestBuy and purchased the Garmin 2610, I spent a few weeks researching after-market GPS devices for use in my new Land Rover, including the Garmin StreetPilot III, the Magellan 500 and 700, among others. ** I'm that guy who ...

Pros: Portable, can be used in multiple cars. WAAS-enabled. Touch screen greatly simplifies controls

The Bottom Line: The Garmin 2610 is a great GPS unit that really works

Review: I wanted a portable GPS navigator for my car for a long time but due to cost and lack of functionalities I had not acted upon it until now. I recently retired the old car and replaced it with a new one. I almost bought the GPS option but I wanted ...

Pros: Entire US map, touch screen, voice directions, speedometer, works on cars & motorcycles.

Cons: Takes hours to initially load maps, software hangs, difficult to find some details.

The Bottom Line: Driving with a GPS is great, and this one is better than most. The touch screen & voice directions really set it apart, and it's worked well on my cars/trucks/motorcycles.

Review: Men don't like to stop & ask directions - with this device they don't have to! ... ergo, man's best friend :) This is the greatest/favorite toy I have -- and I have *lots* of toys :) I'm including any/all of my negative experiences here, but that's ...

Pros: Fantastic directions, voice guided, crisp display, and loads of options.

The Bottom Line: Excellent portable unit with large database of points of interest. Great nav instructions including correct lanes.

Review: I go on frequent business trips and invariably I get lost at least once. I wanted a portable nav unit for finding my hotel, business contacts, and restaurants and shopping. I got the Garmin 2610 for Father's Day and have used it on several trips. I ...
