I'll second that. Have had several Garmins over the past few years and
the 2610 is my favorite. Have the Quest as well to take on trips
(flying to destination and renting car) and haven't had a problem with it.

Another nice feature is that Garmin just lowered their price of the map
DVD upgrades to $75 and that's for TWO units, not just one. $75/yr and
I'm assured of having the most recent mapset for both the 2610 and the
Quest.

I've always had good luck purchasing my Garmin's through www.gpscity.com

Standard disclaimer: No financial interest. Just happy with the prices
and service of this company.

Nice thing about the 2610 is that it will fit quite nicely in the
storage console beneath the radio on my 2006 Accord EX. Now, all I have
to do is figure out how to remove some of the trim so I can drill a hole
in there to run the external antenna and power cable to it.

Don't suppose you've done that yet, have you, Seth?
