Hi folks,
I've just placed the winning bid on a Garmin 2620 and after some research (why the heck didn't I do it before buying) I see that the 2620 has a microdrive and isn't best suited for Motorcycle use, doh !

Is it correct that only the early 2620's are able to accept a CF card or can the later versions be tinkered with too ?

I was under the impression (possibly mataken) that the 2620 has a 2.5mm jack for speaker outlet, I was hoping to plug into my Autocom via this.

If anyone can help me with the above then that would be great.

OK I'm sorted with the audio jack, still unsure about if the cf card can be fitted internally in place of the microdrive though. Anyone ?

The 2620 was rebadged for both Triumph and BMW for use on their motorbikes, I thought. What I don't like them is the lack of internal battery but I've never heard any complaints about their lack of reliability.

Thanks Tim, I'm just going by what I've read on some Motorcycle forums. Something to do with vibration which is why the microdrive isn't best suited.

I haven't given my 2620 a decent try yet. :D

The 2610 is the model designated as motorcycle friendly by Garmin in the 26** series. I believe they actually state (or stated) that the 2620 was not suitable for motorcycle use due to problems with vibration.

A bit late but the 2620 works fine on my motorcycle.
