GPS units

I m thinking I want something tht talks to me...!!

Yeah, I like the GPS better as well, but I don't have one for my bike so I have to use a map if I need to. Not only that, I just may stop and ask for some directions so I can get even more lost..

I like the way Abby made her map book in Shovelhead Redemption. I made a similar one once with directions from map quest, then reduced & laminated the pages. It fit in my jacket pocket. Still had a road map, too.

I like the phone / map combination. After thinking about it I probably would not use the GPS often enough to justify the cost... Uless I found something that could be used easily in the car also...

I haven't had an issue with my car GPS...It works really well and I only use it when I go to the Twins.. I am not there often enough to know my way around.

Use my map to pick destination,use my tom tom to get me there. but ALWAYS take the map

Garmin has the best GPS that i've seen.
You can call them and talk to them or look at their site.
They are very friendly to talk to.

I've had a Zumo 550 for a pretty good while. Its Vibration proof, water proof and all. With it being water proof, you need to plug a cord in from the Zumo to yer radio so you can hear the lady tell you when to do what, or learn to watch it and watch where it tells you to turn.
At HD its known as a Navtech. The navtech don't come with the Auto attachments like the Zumo does.
Got a buddy that got the Zumo 665 model. He has it on his bike.

You can put a SD card in my zumo and program a route to go somewhere.
Or put music on it and listen to it threw yer radio.
You can also bluetooth yer phone into the Zumo and see when somebody calls you.
My buddy has the Sena 10 in his AVG modular helmet. He can use his Ipod to listen to music and has it in his tourpac charging.
He can take a call if he wants to talk to somebody and he can hear the lady on the zumo give him directions.
He got in on Amazon

Here is the Zumo 550 on the Handle bar mount that comes with it.
This is the 2nd bike I've had it on.
No it doesn't git in the way. And its easy to use.
I will say I'm gittin old and can't see everything everyday real good.
I can tell where its takin me and I can follow a route on it.

This picture was taken with it over cast outside with my Iphone 4

Yep...Lil Sweetie took her TomTom on our last trip around Nova Scotia,so I said "OK you tell us where to go" We got to tour some nice logging roads and some rough dirt roads then when we got back on the same Highway we turned off 2 hrs ago(just 30 miles farther down) I get this whack on the back of the head and told there are big red numbers on the screen saying we're doing 150km/hr(95MPH)...well at least I know my speedo is accurate altho my speedo is MPH
Next stop, I unplugged the damn thing,tossed it in the trunk and took out the map...only detours after that were ones I wanted to make....
My advice would be ...take a map,read the highway signs and enjoy the scenery...

Gues you didn't take the time to zoom out and look where it was tskin you
And you need to see if it's set to the shortest route
Fastest route or what
Like the zumo a lot better than a Tom Tom
But you need a general ides where yer going too

Some days when I git up , I can't see as well as others up close. Guess Age is kickin my Ass..
So trying to read the street names on the display I can't make them out, don't take me anywhere, if I can't see them I don't know where to go.
And if you think I'm riding my Bike with lined Bifocals you might as well put a dress on and git in line with the OL.
She wants me to git a hearing Aid too. I ride with Oakley Monster sunglasses.
I can see far off good,
So if you can't read the names and folks start out and don't let you know they ain't got any gas kinds screws up things.

And I was tryin to read the GPS unit and didn't have a cord to go from it to he HD radio that I didn't have at the time.


I've asked you to go riding many times, but yer too busy.
We don't ride anywhere on the bikes and eat no more.
You hide at the house.:gah:
