Author Message   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 - 01:53 pm:        My old Garmin City Navigator North America V8 DVD finally gave up the ghost... It can't be read in any of my computers. I have the licenses and the unlock codes, and I contacted Garmin and they can't (well, won't) provide a path to download or re-buy the media. If anyone has this DVD still intact, can you shoot me a PM? I'm going to try some heroic measures to recover the one I have, but I am not optimistic at this point. This is for a Quest 1, so its NOT the NT version. Its the other one (City Navigator North America V8, not City Navigator NT V8, and not City Navigator 2008). Thanks!   Oldog Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 - 04:13 pm:        Reep When I get home I will check I may have one and a semi operational quest yours when I get back .... some day..   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 - 04:21 pm:        LOL. Thats funny... I need the disk so I can get my stack of quests all sorted so I can give one to Alex! So yes, I want the disk, but only if you promise not to give me another Quest!

I called mine Johnny, as in Johnny Quest, turn it on and its gonna be an adventure.. it lived up to that name....   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 - 05:39 pm:        I have 4 of them now, and only one still works with the internal antenna. Hard to get upset about, as the externals are $9 on ebay, get much better reception than stock anyway, and are much easier to locate in a good place on the bike.... For the record, the Q2 *does* seem significantly slower than the Q1. So the "These quests are so slow they suck" rants may be a little more justified than I previously thought... the Q1's work great, but the Q2 does feel a bit laggy often.   Oldog Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 - 05:42 pm:        just picked up a nuvi something or other for about 200$ at the local Wally world Still in Arkansas, I am a couple of weeks out Were you ever able to open the case of one and repair the antenna?   Froggy Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 - 05:51 pm:        I may have the disk too, I'm at WVBR so i went know for sure till Monday   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 - 07:01 pm:        I did, but it broke again. Now I just run the external antennas.
