What's the difference?!

[ROLLINSDAN]

I've just received a Garmin 2610 from an Ebay seller I bought using "buy it now" a few days ago....... There were no photo's of it, just a list of the bits to come with it (not everything, hence a good price).....

What I've just removed from the delivery box is a BMW Navigator II, it has the set up disc with it, but the OEM cradle is not there........

Please fill me in on the differences!!!!

I wouls search, but BMW and II are not searchable options.......

Thanks,
Dan

The standard card size on the Nav II was 512Mb and on the Nav II+ it was 2Gb, whereas on the 2610 it was 256Mb.
The Nav II has a pre-loaded list of BMW dealers (which is probably out of date- but you can download them again off the BMW website).
It has a compass page.
There are one or two cosmetic differences.
Basically you have done well out of it.

It has been advertised as a NavII and it had arrived without the BMW cradle one would have gone ballistic.

Okay.... next issue...... I don't have the yellow piece of paper (with various codes) as I do have for my Quest, is the registration code unique to the unit? Can I not use the unit properly without it?! HELP!!!

Garmin might be able to provide a reg, code if there is a serial number on the back of the unit that you can give them. You can unlock the mapping for your Quest to a 2nd unit owned by you FOC so hopefully that should see you sorted out.

AFAIK, the cradle with screws/nuts and power lead is Garmin part, 010-10495-00 (approx £35) .. the cradle has a four hole AMPS pattern, if using RAM mount parts, to attach, use RAM-B-202, but if you want to use with shorter screws, as with the SPIII adaption use RAM-B-202-G1 as the mating fixing kit .. IMV ..its neater and shorter for when you need to get fingers behind the device.

On Sunday I placed an order for the gpsw 2610 motorcycle kit, is it different to the parts list you have kindly provided? Should I have asked here first

Dan, it should work as the previous reply is based upon using the OEM cradle .. the gpsw 2610 bike kit has the RAM GA9 cradle which uses a diamond base instead of the round base ..
