Garmin Quest for South American tour... Yes or no ??
 

Hi, im very close to buying a Garmin Quest GPS for a full South American tour.

Has anyone done this?, would you recommend one?,are there any other maps available other than "worldmap" ?

Cheers in advance ,Ed

Hi,
well I have done a trip in south america for 4 months crossing the andes several times between Chile and Argetnina as well as in Peru and Bolivia, in areas where you would not find your way just with a map.
Anyway, I have just had an old GPS III Puls from Garmin and it was enough to find my way easily. So do not invest too much money in a incredibly expensive GPS. You might need that money elsewhere. I was completely satisfied with my GPS, beeing able to read out the cooridantes and backcheckmy position on the paper map I had with me. So I found all the routes I wanted.

all the best and have a nice trip

Hi Ed,
If you do buy a quest and want the bits to adapt it to the bike (ear piece and various bits of wires etc) i've got a set that i'll sell for £30 ono. Shop charged me £49.99. Never used.
Happy travelling - L

Hi
I have a Garmin quest - which mounting brackets do I need for a Honda Varadero 1000?
Also, how do I connect the unit to an earpiece - I haven't got an ear piece connection on the unit?
