Had my 2820 for 3 days now and I've got to be honest, I don't find it noticeably better than my 2610. The screen size really annoys me... the tabs take up far too much screen space compared the 2610 and for me, the displayed map is much smaller than my 2610. I'll try get some pictures posted to show the difference in the displays. I'm blowed if I can find how to change the screen display on it and if I have to RTFM, I consider that bad product design. Keep it simple ( or my favourite... keep it short, keep it funny hehe ) is how it should be and a 2820 is nothing of the sort. The menu system is also far more complicated than the 2610 - I don't like it.
I don't think the 2820 is worth £400.00 over the 2610 - I'm definately not overly impressed by it. It's certainly no quicker than my 2610 and the extra features aren't all what I thought they'd be cracked up to be.
If you're in the market for a Garmin GPS, in my book, the 2610 is a far more practical option for everyday use and it's £400.00 cheaper than the 2820. Make sure you see both in the flesh before you buy one
