$888 at tandy

it comes with pretty much everything you need
(cover, house charger, car charger, discs etc)
and it's pretty

we now have to figure how to mount it to the bike

i need a new screen (the pic i put on it at boky's funeral removed a layer of tint) so might just attach it to this one and get a new one when i get back..

These guys have the mounting system you'll need:

This is what the recommended to me:

I think, however, I will leave GPS at this stage...

Miss Felix's father owns a camping store, and we went up there this weekend...we went nuts getting lightweight, compact gear, and an UberBling hiking tent - 3 person with self healing skin - poke a hole in it and you repair it by rubbing between your fingers! So we kind of blew the budget...

Thanks felix, a guy at work is going to sort out hard wiring the gps to the bike for me,, will prob ask him to sort something out, even though he rides an eyeabuser he's pretty cluey

I figured it's a lot of money, but i'll get use out of it so it'll be worth it

camping... what's that?

I'm looking for a GPS receiver for notebook(USB).
Need to travel up north to mining areas for work in Feb, and most of them don't exist on maps.

Saw a few selling for less than $100 on eBay, are they any good?
Felix, any experience with them?

No, but some people Miss Felix works with use 'em. Pretty good from what I hear. I think you can buy UBD software and the GPS can pretty much plug in and work with that? Just don't use 'em in Afganistan, or you might be mistaken for a bomb target...

And camping is what you do when you are in places too far out to have a B&B...we think it will be camping, then B&B, camping, B&B and so on...

It'll be good if you can find out the brands for me to start searching.

Thanks.
