Map Data Information: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is
available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature
and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. In some
countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or is prohibitively expensive.
Notice To Drivers in California and Minnesota: State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on
their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. Garmin does not
take any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California
Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.)

INTRODUCTION > CARING FOR THE QUEST
Using the Quest Responsibly
Caring for the Quest
The Quest is equipped with a Safe Mode feature to improve driver
safety. When your vehicle is moving, the Safe Mode disables all
functions that require significant operator attention and could
become a distraction when driving.
The Quest is constructed of high quality materials and does not
require user maintenance other than cleaning.
Cleaning the Case
To clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen), use a cloth
dampened with a mild detergent solution, and then wipe dry.
Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic
components.
your Quest safely and responsibly.
Battery Temperature Warning
Your Quest contains an internal lithium-ion battery, which can store
more energy than standard batteries. All batteries slowly lose the
amount of energy they can hold over time. To maximize battery
life, limit the unit’s prolonged exposure to excessive heat and direct
sunlight.
Cleaning the Screen
Clean the screen using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water,
isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. To use these
cleaners, apply the liquid to the cloth and wipe the screen.
Storing Your Quest
If Your Quest Locks Up…
Do not store the Quest where prolonged exposure to temperature
extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent
damage may result.
On rare occasions, your Quest may freeze or lock up. In this case,
reset it by pressing the Power key and the IN key at the same time.
The unit turns off. The unit will operate normally when you turn it
on again.
Avoiding Theft
To avoid theft, take your Quest with you or remove it from view
when you leave your vehicle.

BASIC OPERATION > USING TRACBACK
Using TracBack
The Quest records an electronic breadcrumb trail or “track log”
as you travel. As a result, you can retrace your recent movements
using the TracBack® feature. This feature is particularly useful
when navigational markers are not readily available.
The track log starts recording as soon as the Quest gets a location
fix. For the best results, clear the track log before you start
traveling. When the track log is full, new track points overwrite the
oldest track points.
If you have selected to follow roads (Faster Time
or Shorter Distance), the Quest create a turn-by-
turn route to the selected end point. Follow the
route just as you would follow any route.
To use TracBack:
1. Press the FIND key, highlight Where Am I?, and press OK.
If you selected to follow the track, you can use the Map page and
the Compass page to guide you along the path. See the next page
for more information about the Compass page.

UNDERSTANDING GPS > THE GPS INFORMATION PAGE
After your location has been determined, the GPS unit can
calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip
distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset, and time.
UNDERSTANDING GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based
navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed
into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally
intended for military applications, but the government made the
system available for civilian use in the 1980s. GPS works in any
weather condition, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There
are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
WAAS is a system of satellites and ground stations that provide
GPS signal corrections, giving you even better position accuracy.
WAAS corrects for GPS signal errors caused by ionospheric
disturbances, timing, and satellite orbit errors, and it provides vital
integrity information regarding the health of each GPS satellite.
GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit
and transmit signal information to Earth. The GPS receiver in your
Quest takes this information and uses triangulation to calculate
your exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the
time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was
received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away
the satellite is. With distance measurements from a few more
satellites, the receiver can determine your location and display it on
the Quest’s Map page.
The GPS Information Page
The GPS Information page provides a visual reference of GPS
receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver
status, and position accuracy. To access this page, press MENU,
highlight Settings, and press OK. From the Settings page,
highlight GPS Info and press OK.
GPS satellites are positioned throughout the sky. As soon as you
turn on your Quest, it attempts to acquire satellite signals. The sky
view area on the GPS Information page displays which satellites
are currently in your area.
A GPS receiver must be locked on to at least three satellites
to calculate a 2D location (latitude and longitude) and track
movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can
determine your 3D location (latitude, longitude, and altitude).

UNDERSTANDING GPS > THE GPS INFORMATION PAGE
A signal strength bar appears for each satellite in view; the
satellite’s number (1–33) appears to the left of each bar. The
progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:
Sky View and Signal Strength Bars
The sky view and signal strength bars indicate the satellites that are
currently visible and which satellites are being used to calculate
a position fix. The signal strength bars also indicate the quality of
each satellite signal.
•
•
•
No signal strength bar—the GPS receiver in your Quest is
looking for the satellite indicated. The corresponding number
on the sky view is not highlighted.
The sky view provides an overhead view of each satellite position
relative to your unit’s last known location. The outer circle
represents the horizon and shows cardinal heading references. The
inner circle represents an elevation of 45° above the horizon. Any
satellite depicted near the center is directly overhead.
Hollow signal strength bar—the GPS receiver has found
the satellite and is collecting data. The corresponding
number on the sky view is not highlighted.
Solid signal strength bar—the GPS receiver has collected
the necessary data and the satellite is ready for use. The
corresponding number on the sky view is highlighted.
You can set the sky view to Track Up
instead of North Up orientation. Track Up
causes the top of the sky view to align to
your current direction of travel. To change
to Track Up, press MENU while on the GPS
Info page. Then select Skyview Track Up.

The Poor Satellite Reception
menu gives you several
options when an insufficient

These options appear when
you press MENU from the
GPS Info page.
From the Poor Satellite Reception menu, you can turn off GPS
when using the unit indoors, update your approximate location, or
continue to search for the satellites. Updating your approximate
location ensures that the Quest is searching for the correct satellites
and is useful if you have traveled over 500 miles with the unit
turned off.
