Steve who rides a Panigale did have a Garmin Zumo for sake recently for a very good price. Can't think of his username ATM but I do have his mobile number . Pm me if you would like the number.
What sort of thing are you after? I've got a Garmin Quest that I don't use any more, that I keep meaning to stick on eBay. You'd have to pay to get the latest maps from Garmin, but I was updating it with free OpenStreetMap-based mapping. It's a bit limited for storage space, so if I was doing a trip to somewhere in Europe I needed to be quite selective about which map tiles I installed.
The Garmin Quest uses pre NT mapping data which Garmin stopped supporting in 2009. OpenStreetMap is a good option to run a Quest with current data, although as stated, storage space is limited and with no memory expansion you need to select mapping tiles carefully. With Garmin mapping data, no matter the 'flavour', each country is made up from a number of tiles. To navigate effectively you need the relevant tiles to cover your route. Earlier mapping had many more tiles for each country but as memory got cheaper the tile sizes increased dramatically. Around 2006 this coincided with the period immediately after the Quest was introduced when mapping went from the City Select name to City Navigator. The effect of this was that the tiles to complete a particular route resulted in a need for significantly more storage. A sceptic would say that this was driven by marketing trying to get users to upgrade... City Select tiles for given tour - 199.5 MB City Navigator for same tour - 533.2 MB As you can see the aggregate file size increases significantly for the 2nd set of Mapping. The good news is that OpenStreetMap data uses the smaller tiles, however, from my experience the the tile file size tends to be greater than City Select so range with still be relatively limited. There are two versions of Quest; European and US. The former has 256MB of internal storage, the latter only 128MB. Some is already allocated prior to loading mapping, ISTR that the Euro model had some 248MB free. Obviously you would need one of these rather than the US version. You would need to use Mapsource rather than the later Basecamp to manage and load your mapping to the GPS as this handles the creation of tile sets far better as it is software from the same era as the Quest. There was a Quest2 that runs NT mapping, the current type still available from Garmin. Don't get one of these though as they lack the required processing power to uncompress this later mapping (pre NT was uncompressed) and perform the required GPS and screen drawing functions in real-time and as a result are laggy beyond being anything other than a useless paper-weight. If you can run to a Zumo 550 or, even better, a 660 then that will serve you well. StreetPilot 2720 is a good alternative but with no SD/CF card slot is limited by its 2GB of internal memory in the same way as the Quest, only less so as you just need to be selective as the countries you load rather than the tiles. Current full European mapping is around 4GB the last time I looked.
Thanks Eddie, didn't mean to try and dis' your sale. The Quest is a very capable if dated GPS so long as you work within the confines of its shortcomings.
Just received my zumo595LM; no 240V charger which is annoying unlike the 660. Keeping my old 660 for the 2nd bike but would highly recommend one of them second-hand!
