serialbowl00 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 anyone have any tips I should know? Head over to GPSCity.com and try to get a RAM mount for that thing and mount it to the SV :-) Small world, bro. I thought your name looked familiar. I this name on SVR also. Quote Link to comment
+DonB Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Just got it hooked up yesterday. anyone have any tips I should know? Just read your manual from cover to cover. I think the 2610 was the best auto-routing gps Garmin ever made. I think they designed the newer models for the yuppies with the MP3 players and xm radios. I'll never get rid of mine unless I'm absolutely forced to. Quote Link to comment
+YBLee Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have owned my 2610 since it first was released in September of 2003. I had the Streetpilot III Color before that. The 2610 is the best road GPS I have owned. I have used in coast to coast in the car and on a motocycle in all kinds of weather. I've used it in western Europe, Germany and Italy and never felt lost. I had a problem with moisture breaching the case and affecting the screen last year but Garmin replaced it in 3 days with a new unit. The CF Memory cards are very cheap now and I just put the entire City Navigator North America 2008 Update (not the NT version, won't work with the 2610) on a 2 GB card. Only drawback is that it cannot be battery operated and requires direct power at all times. When I first got it I wondered why one would need a remote when it has a touch screen. Believe me, the remote is way-better to use than the touch screen to the point that I even use it on the motorcycle. When released it sold from GPS City for $860 and I'll bet you paid under $400 - an excellent deal! The best of luck and I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years to come. I use my 2610 to road-route me to caches and then my 60CSx for the off-road portion. It makes for a great combination but, the routing on my 2610 is definitely better because of the optional preferences than the 60CSx even though I have City Navigator North America v8.00 NT for the 60CSx. I recently bought a Nuvi 660 for my daughter and although it works very well, I still prefer the flat maps as opposed to the new 3-D style and it isn't waterproof. Best of luck and feel free to ask questions. Lee, Assonet, MA Quote Link to comment
