Motorcycle GPS

Post by Disco »

Doe's anybody use a GPS on their bike?If so what would you Recomend other than the zumo $900 :shock: ......

I'm looking at a Garmin 60Csx or 60Cx ($400-$480)....Has any body used one of these on a bike,The major advantage is the 2xAA batteries.....

Here is a pic of the 60csx...

I use a cheap one from aldi, works fine, got a battery back up and MP3 player, just use ear phones and your good to go. Cost under $100.

It depends on what you're looking for. I use 2 mobile phone based systems - a Nokia N95 with built in GPS receiver and Garmin MobileXT ($25 off ebay) or my old iPaq with an external GPS receiver and iGo 6. Both work well through headphones but neither are touch screens or usable with gloves on.

:D

I ended up getting a 60Csx for $500 with city navigator (all of Aus.) and topo map's from a supplier if anybody is interested I'll put you in contact.....The map's alone are worth @ $200+.....
