I've had good luck with my cheapo lashup. I have a Dell Axim 5 PDA with a CF card GPS receiver plugged into the top slot running Routis software. A power cord with a cigarette lighter plug completes the system. It's mounted on the right glove box cover. I haven't wired in the audio to the bike's system, but it would be easy to do to get voice directions from the PDA. The screen does washout in sunlight, I've considered making a small sunshield for it but it's still useable as is. With a 128Mb SD card plugged in the side slot of the PDA I can load a map containing thestates, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, and the Canadian province British Columbia. The softwareworks surprisingly well.

I don't have a lot in it, The PDA was a refurbished unit from eBay, got the GPS card with the Routis software for around $100. All told had less than $400 for a nav system with color screen, voice prompting, automatic rerouting, etc. Been using it for over a year now in my car, truck and on the bike. If you don't load a bunch of games, ephemeris and other stuff like I do, you probably can get by without the SD memory card. My large map slows recalculating routes a bit, it takes fifteen seconds or more. Same thing for inputting a destination, it takes 20-30 seconds. With smaller maps it is much faster. When I bought my bike, I had the seller's address in Oregon (about 200 miles away) and the unit steered me right to his door.

The Garmin 2610 is great for the goldwing. Adventure Motorcycles sell a bracket as well.

Let me know if you need their website.

That would be great, if you could supply their web site, all help and comments are appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Exavid for your reply, as I am not technically minded and not clued up with GPS, I would be looking for a package, but would be willing to learn if some one local would be willing to spare some time to educate me, (in simple terms)

[align=left]Mine doesn't have the lock. I've been told by an SPIII owner who now owns the 2610 that the same bracket as minefits both models, but I can't confirm this personally so don't ask me. Someone else might be able to shed more light on it.[/align]

Hi wingnut, My Street pilot 111 is due for delivery on Friday, is the unit hard wired into the system or the cigarete lighter.

If hard wired can a novice like my self under take such a task?

Ive asked Guru's before but they reply useing long complicated words, to prove their parents money wasn't wasted on public education. I need replies in two syllable words, as my school was approved, and I need gps to get me home.:skipping::skipping::skipping:

O I just forgot my Street Pilot 111 arrived today, at least I know it works it found my home. Don't know how to fit it on the bike, the instruction don't have many pictures, how do I mount it on the dash?:?:?:?:?:?:?:?:?:?:?

as i am not a guru dont know if i am allowed to answer this one LOL - you have to get a a lead that connects the gps into the bikes audio system. Couple of places - I got mine from Cellset in the US (have a spare second hand one i m trying to get ride off ). At the other end of the aduio and power connections is a inline fuse and earth wire which are connected to the accessories terminals on the fuse box. there is also a plug which fits inbetween the 5 pin headset plug and the audio loom on the bike. It is easy enough to do and didnt take more than a couple of hours from start to finish - have you ordered the mounting bracket as well - i got mine from toura-tech and you will also need a riser block for the top of the clutch cylinder resivour. Hope thats some help to you

Links are fine, that's how we learn about these things. There are tons of posts herewith links to other sites. Have a read through the forum FAQs if you are unsure about what's allowed on the forum, the answers are there.

Found the info in the FAQ;

"Spam andrepeated flagrant advertising of your own companies products are a no-no. It's okay to post a messagegiving us a heads-upabout yournew products, so long as you don't post loads of messages about the same thing. Posting your experience about products or items you findis great, we all like to hear about these things and share the information. But repeated spamming or plugging your products is out. If you want me to post a link to your company on my links page, then just let me know and I will oblige. Posting links to other sites with products that you want to let us know aboutis fine.
