Downloading routes to a Quest?

Hi I am currently using a Garmin Street Pilot 3, great bit of kit but I need something more compact that I can use on my sports bike as well as my GS. I was considering a Garmin Quest.

Can anyone tell me if I can plan routes etc on my pc and download to a Quest as I do on my Street Pilot? Or does it all have to be done on the unit?

Advice appreciated as always

Short answer, yes.

Quicker and easier as the Quest uses a usb lead for both maps, waypoints and routes.

Check the screen size is ok for you.

IMHO the Quest is halfway between a SP3 and 2610.

Cheers for the fast response John

Screen isnt a big issue, I use the voice direction in the main. My mate has just purchased a 2610 and I would go for the same but no space to fit it on my 'summer bike'

No problem, just don't expect each other to easily work the others GPS. In some ways very similar, in others completely different.

The Quest is a great unit for most sports bikes, and if you mount it closer than the "above the clocks" position on a GS........... works well on that bike too

If you have a GS and a sports bike, and can't justify two GPS units........ then the Quest is the one for you
