Best Motorcycle GPS Navigation System - 1/26/2008 3:44:37 AM    ramarjagreb Posts: 31 Joined: 12/22/2007 From: Melbourne, Australia Status: offline I'm looking at getting a GPS for the 954, want something good without going crazy on the money side - but really want something motorcycle specific. I'm looking at the new Garmin Zumo 550, but I'm partial to the Navman as well.  Anyone else running GPS or have any input? _____________________________ 2003 CBR954RR Fireblade Fender Eliminator Kit w/Carbon Fiber Guard LCD Clear Tail Light & Signals Leo Vince Exhaust HID Headla Post #: 1

Wireless? Easy to attach and will it stay put? _____________________________ "Either take the Ass whooping or meet me at the track...........Well shut the ***** up then" (in reply to Bulldog_Msrmc) Post #: 3

I have a friend of mine that takes regular trips on his bike and uses a Garmin 376c because it has realtime satelite weather and radio. Just some food for thought.

It is not a bike model, which means don''t get it wet. I have it mounted on a ram mount, and it''s very nice and secure. When it rains, (17.5 hours the other day in the rain) I cover it with a zip lock bag. _____________________________ 2000 CBR 600 F4 Full D&D (coming off) Full M4 (going on) -1,+2 520 Speedohealer (-7.5% right now - needs 11.4%) AutoCom Pro, Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS, Cobra FRS/GMRS radios, Vortex sliders, mirrored windscreen, Cortech bags.

Easier without gloves, but certainly useable... especially if you pre-plot points before heading out like I do. _____________________________ 2000 CBR 600 F4 Full D&D (coming off) Full M4 (going on) -1,+2 520 Speedohealer (-7.5% right now - needs 11.4%) AutoCom Pro, Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS, Cobra FRS/GMRS radios, Vortex sliders, mirrored windscreen, Cortech bags.
