Fonzie Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Next question.... Do you leave yours mounted up on your windshield all the time, or take 'em down in extreme hot/cold every time you get out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Next question.... Do you leave yours mounted up on your windshield all the time, or take 'em down in extreme hot/cold every time you get out?I usually take mine down, just for the theft aspect.

crf69 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 again.....garmin zumo 550 for the absolute fucking win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_silverfox Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) again.....garmin zumo 550 for the absolute fucking winYeah, I've got a Zumo 550 with the XM radio antenna. It's been with me for over 50k miles in every type of weather and it still rocks. I have a Touratech cradle lock and a lockable RAM mount to keep it on the bike (http://www.touratech-usa.com/shop/show.lasso?sku=065-0141). Works wonderfully and it really deters any attempt at stealing it. I will agree that it is annoying and a bit pricey to update it but I just decided I'll do it every two years instead of one; does the world really change that quickly, anyway?For non-motorcycle purposes, the Magellan GPS devices are great and if you can get one on sale, even better. (I think there was a refurbed Magellan on sale at Micro Center for $50 bucks or something like that.) My brother had a Tom Tom and it actually died on him. I haven't tried a Tom Tom myself so I couldn't tell you much.Extra note: I just pulled my Zumo off my bike after it was sitting outside in 15 degree weather (bike's not garaged because I just came back from Illinois yesterday). Started right up. Definitely Zumo FTW. Edited December 6, 2009 by the_silverfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Ok so i got a Nuvi 205 for christmas. If i was to return it which would be a good choice without going overboard. I'd like a portable, waterproof unit wit Topographical maps for trails, parks et cetera, mount it on the bike, and take it jet skiing. More like a mountable but also handheld type unit.

Gump Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I cut 20 minutes off my time from my house to my parents with it. I have no idea where I was half of the time, it was dark, but it worked. I can't tell for sure but I think it only holds one waypoint between a destination. I wish it had a belt clip and was water proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
