2610 or street pilot 111?

silver fox · Jun 25, 2007

As the title says, which one is preferable??? Will probably be selling my C550?

, and looking for the easier option rather than the pain in the arse of trying to chase my tail getting the one i bought sorted to use on the bike( waterproof cover and mount etc!!!)
Many thanks

2610 recalculates your routes in seconds

SP111 takes all day

2610 holds all of Europe

SP111 needs a pocket full of spare cards

Prefered my SP111 though

Still getting use to my 2610

I had an SPIII and now have a 2610.

Neither is still in production. Functionality is similar on both although the 2610 has the edge.

Biggest points to consider are that the SPIII uses Garmin-specific memory cards which are relatively small and relatively expensive. 2610 uses CF cards which can be bought in tesco

even.

The processor on the SPIII is too slow. If you vere off-route, it can take the SPIII several minutes to recalculate whereas the 2610 does the same in a few seconds.

Go for the 2610.

Thanks guys, was looking at the SP111's on the for sale section. Think i'll wait a while!!

The best bit of the SPIII is the buttons rather than the on screen ones on the 2610 but other than that (Oh and the batteries) the 2610 is very fast in comparison just what you need when you want to find a petrol station before the lights change....
