The folks at Garmin already had these things licked with their first motorcycle-specific GPS, the zumo 550, and it remains in the lineup. My advice is to forget about these add-ons at first and focus on the GPS unit’s main jobs-spoken and visual navigation, mounting on your bike easily, and functioning in and surviving a sometimes wet, vibrating motorcycling environment. Now we have phone dialers, media players, photo viewers, calculators, converters, language guides-it’s very easy to get lost in this stuff when you just want to know how to get somewhere. It seems that in designing a large screen in a case tough enough for motorcycling, though, the GPS makers had enough space leftover to throw in a laptop computer’s worth of extra toys and applications. Most of us have figured out that a newer model with a large, backlit, full-color 3D display is handier for everyday riding than the smaller, survival-type models. Shopping for a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) navigation unit for your bike can be a bit confusing. ![]()
