Better half is looking at buying a Sat Nav for the motorbike.We have the old Road Angel Navigator for the car which has been faultless for years. He has 'modified' it to fix to the bike and even wired it for the Scarla Headsets, but now.... wants a proper waterproof system.
Any bikers out there had experience of the Tom Tom Rider v2 or the Garmin 550/660? We have read all the manufacturers bumph but would like to hear from actual users.
Many thanks.

My mate has a system fited to his bike so i,ll ask him for you. He,s a bit of a gadget man so he should have fair idea of whats out there. I might be wrong but i think it is a Garmin but i will get back to you when i see him.

Used a Garmin back in the early days of this century - no bike anymore - the beauty of the Garmin was it was totally waterproof. Garmin now do a dedicated system called Zuomo (or something like that) BMW fit it to their bikes so it has to be good!

I have Tomtom's original Rider (version 1) for mine. Yamaha produced an official mount for another brand of GPS but the Tomtom fitted it perfectly. The Riders also come with a bluetooth ear phone set up so you can have it talking to you inside your helmet if you wish. Retrospectively I'd definitely buy the Rider again.
