All of these have long battery life which is one feature that's lacking in many car-oriented models.
The Garmin Quest? That thing is over $600! Just to go cycling with? Seems like an extreme overkill to me. And all that money with no way to add memory via expansion slots or internal hard drive with additional maps thus you have to load and reload maps all the time via a computer. The Quest has only 115mb of internal memory but in a state where you live, California, that map alone is 122mb.

The GPS V also from Garmin has been discontinued but you can still find them at a close out price of over $300. And this is worse then the Quest with only 19mb of memory, you might be able to fit the Bay area of California where you live into it.
