I need a GPS

I am planing out some rides for Spring/Summer and I have come to the realization that I NEED a GPS in the worst way... My Wife on the back with map in hand screaming in my ear is no longer going to cut it!

So, that being said I can't afford the "Harley Model" in the catalog... Are any of you using an "Off the shelf model by another manufacturer that will work just as good and has a motorcycle mounting kit available with it?

Thanks!

Might want to try a search before starting a GPS thread. Almost like an oil thread!

I have the Garmin ZUMO 550 and use it in both the truck and bike as it comes with mounts for both.

Take a look at the Nuvi 550. It's a basic GPS that's water resistant for those times you may get caught in the rain.

I love my iphone with motionx GPS drive app. I listen to tunes when I ride anyway and motion x politely mutes my music and gives me turn by turn directions, and then turns the music back on. It is a big battery drain on the phone, but I only use it in the city.
