How did I live without this thing?!?
Date of Review: May 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: I HIGHLY recommend this product...it's inexpensive (for a GPS unit) and it works wonderfully.
I moved to Boston about nine months ago and was having the worst time driving around. Basically, I was constantly lost. I couldn't drive anywhere by myself because I always had to have someone there to navigate for me. That was until I received a Garmin Quest for Christmas.
I honestly think this is one of the best and most useful things I own. I love it and use it all the time. It was easy to set up (downloading the maps from the CD to the unit), and the actual unit setup is very user-friendly as well. You can manually enter addresses or you can have the Quest search for items by either requesting a specific place (like Petsmart) or you can have it find the closest bank, gas station, etc. I've used the search function many times on the unit and it has ALWAYS had what I was looking for, and it's always directed me there flawlessly.
The really cool thing about this unit is the voice prompts, which make driving a heck of a lot easier. The speaker is actually built into the cigarette charger, which is quite clever because it allows the unit to be much smaller (and thus it can be used as a handheld GPS as well). However, if you don't like the voice prompts, you can always just look at the screen; the screen size, color and clarity are excellent.
I never leave home without my Garmin Quest!
