Got gps?

imported post

Oh,yeah, there's a few of us.



I have a Garmin 2610, love the unit and the feature set. Garmin has changed the

maps and anything after City Navigator 2009 reportedly won't work on the 2610.



I usually get a new map set every 2 years, so it looks like I'll start looking around for a new unit in 2011. Got the Streetpilot 2610 4 years ago off Amazon, refurbished, same Garmin warrantee as a new one forabout $200, they were around $900 when new. Will be interesting to see what is out in another 2 years.

My gps is in my trunk. It's called a road atlas.I actually enjoy reading a map and plotting my direction.

I'm with ya on the map plots! I also do that. A gps can't plot out a ride, they can basically only show you the fastest way to and from. Over the weekend I plotted out a 300 mile ride for me and my wife. I used the atlas and used only back roads. I hand wrote the directions onto a small piece of paper and covered it in packaging tape to make it rain proof. Then taped it to the gas tank for easy reading. My plotted ride went great and the packaging tape turned out to come in handy with the skys let loose. It was our first long haul on the new to us bike and it was fantastic. I can't wait until the next long ride.

I basically needed a gps for work. I'm on new jobs all the time. A gps makes it so much easier. My gps has come in handy so many other times too though.


I figured there were a lot of gps users, but I'm a newb to the big dresser bikes. I know todays bikes have all kinds of gizmos on them, so I wouldn't be surprised if some come from the factory with them. Thanks for the replys!
