| Hello Everyone,
Today I just purchased a Garmin Quest for $699 CND + Taxes at my local Best
Buy. From all of the reviews I have read, this is a solid unit, very
accurate and with the most up to date maps for the Canada/Toronto area.
However, when I went into Best Buy to purchase this unit, they had a
Roadmate 700 on selling, and when it was all said and done I would have been
almost double the price I paid after taxes and credit fees in order to pick
that unit up.
Now, the guy told me I had 30 days to play with it, and if I chose to, I
could bring it back in within that 30 days in order to upgrade to the
Roadmate 700.
I run a service business, and I am driving all over the city daily. I'd say
99% of my travel will be in Toronto and around the municipalities
surrounding Toronto. I also want a unit that is accurate, has the latest
maps with map updates in the future, with the fastest routes, and capable of
inputting 9 destinations and it maps out the best route to take from 1-9 and
end back at 1 with the least amount of travel. A unit that will serve it's
purpose.
Can anyone with experience on both of these units give me the pros and cons,
and opinions on whether they would stick to the Quest if they were in my
shoes, or would they shell out double the money in order to get the roadmate
700?
Any support would be GREAT as this is a big purchase for me at this time,
and I put my trust in this forum's hands.
Respectfully Yours!
