I would have a back up plan. I have rented from eagle rider in the past, and they have never been able to guarantee a GPS. It has always been a roll of the dice it seems. Only 1 of the 3 i rented had the upgraded boom system. From my experience they offer to hook up a add on GPS for an extra charge.

 

I rented a bike in Hawaii and when I reserved it, I asked for a street glide with the GPS, and was told no problem. On the day I took the bike, the dealer said the only street glide left was one without the GPS, and then said, this is Hawaii for crying out loud, it's not that big. So I took it, and rode around the island, but then got lost trying to find the dealer to return the bike. I had to go back to my hotel and then ride to the dealer as that was the only way I knew how to get to the dealer. So take your Tom Tom

 

For the per diem price of the rental [$10 per day as I recall], just buy a new one.

 

They are so cheap, you can pick up one at Walmart for next to nothing. I don't use it anymore...
You can get a grease pencil and write your road numbers on the shield, erase them and put new ones the next day...

 

In Europe getting lost was the fun part as long as you have enough fuel (beverage and grub can usually be found easily). Once on the highways as long as you know the major cities it was easy to navigate. Here in the States things get more complicated and stressful.

 

My boom gps works different every time, i would use something else, turn rt, after you passed sucks, or not saying anything till you guess, then re-routing, I used it in cities im not familiar with, and it sucked

 

My HD system notifies me of upcoming turns two miles in advance, a half mile ahead and when you get to the turn.

 

I use a map. Just saying.

 

I wish mine did this, it's sporadic at best, works great then not so much, Ive been at a stop sign in a city, and nothing, then turn, taking a guess, and then it'll say re-routing, mostly have ole lady get her phone out now

 

mine always "says"right turn but the map shows a left. i have a garmin but now I've gotten used to the boom and the garmin usually stays home.
