Quest 2 - When will it be released in the UK?

Going back a few weeks I spoke to someone at Garmin who inferred the Quest 2 would be released in the UK very soon - has anyone any info in this respect?

It is already in the shops in the Netherlands for almost 2 weeks now. Since garmin is UK based, it would be odd if things were different there...

News just in from Garmin Europe:

Good Afternoon,

In regard to your email, the Quest 2 will be shipping early next week which
covers the back orders and it will be available in stores within the next
3/4 weeks. The RRP inc VAT is £588. :o

I wonder how much this will actually be on sale for? As we all know there are usualy a big difference between rrp's and actual prices.

me that's a lot of maps!

I may have to reconsider my needs and settle for something less expensive instead.

The 2610 is £520 in Comet and comes with full EU maps unlocked. You can't load the entire EU into the standard CF memory card but you can get a bigger one cheap enough.

The Quest 1 is about £320 and comes with 243 Meg of memory (not upgradable) and full EU maps unlock (UK maps are about 150 Meg)

Neither of these do POI alerts (ie speed cameras).

You could also consider a StreetPilot 320 or Nuvi

Thanks

Postcode search is THE one thing missing from the quest 1 in my opinion.
Could garmin add it with a software update or is it hardware dependant?

Thanks for all your help out there. I will probably take the plunge after Christmas. Smile
