motorcycle gps

Are the deminsions for the TomTom Rider (motorcycle GPS) the same as the TomTom auto GPS deminsions? The monitary difference in an auto and Motorcycle GPS is about $400, I don't need it waterproof, if it's raining, I'll take it off, but it has to be able to be mounted on the handlebars. Any Ideas?

I agree with the Garmin statement. I have had a TomTom x 2. They both only lasted about a year, plus the updating on them were horrible. Me and my wife have Garmins, we have had them over a year 1/2. They have updates available every 3 months, and they are more user friendly. As far as putting it on a motorycle, you can find a mount really for any GPS to go on a bike. http://motorcycle-superstore.com has tons of great things for motorcycles. Check it out.

www.Road-Quest.com - this video will provide information on refurbished Garmin GPS units for under $100 and who on eBAY has them. You won#39;t be ...

Been riding since Feb and I LOVE Cruising Interstates and traveling to all the attractions located around Central Florida. But the GPS I use in the Car a Garmin C330 isn't waterproof, and has a short battery life.

That's why I'm looking for a GPS that can mount to my bike, is waterproof, and I can swap out batteries from Walmart or something if it dies.

Any suggestions would be apreciated.

+1 to the Zumo, but you may not have 500 bucks to spend on a GPS. Garmin makes a number of handheld models that are street route capable, but they may not be as easy to use. It really depends on the balance of user friendliness/cost you're comfortable with. Check out Garmin's website or a sporting goods store and ask someone that works there to show you what each unit can do.

I am a big fan of Garmin but I do not know if your dad will need to carry it in his pocket of mount it on his bike. Good Luck.

The speedo on my bike doesn't work, so I removed it and I'm thinking I can just get a GPS that shows my speed. Smaller is better since I just need the speed and not the map and directions. Anyone have suggestions?

A Sigma bicycle speedometer (about $25) work just fine, unless your bike is a single, in which case the vibes may cause it to reset and cycle through its menus randomly.

For a minimalist GPS, the Garmin Etrex models are about the size of a fat cell phone. A basic model should be down under $100. For all I know, there are less expensive ones around by now. The technology is getting cheaper all the time.

A GPS may be susceptible to vibration too, unless you hard-wire it to your bike's electrical supply. Be sure you get one that is weather-proof.
