GPS or as we say SatNav
I have a Mio 269+ Digiwalker. I have used it in Great Britain (Wales, England, Scotland), Norway & USA. It has been a great buy. I have had it re-flashed to pick up anything that may have come on stream.
One thing though...It is not waterproof. Do any of you have a clear plastic box to put over my SatNav.

We use a Garmin Street Pilot C550. It has MP3 and Bluetooth, also an FM traffic receiver, which we have never used. We like it because my wife (co-rider) can input information while we are moving, unlike her car which had the GPS built in but one could not input information while the vehicle was in motion. My wife is the navigator and uses the GPS 99% of the time, so for almost 23 years, she's been telling me...where to go!

Mickey, you're an honest man. I've had the same exact experience. I think there's a "gene" going around.
We'll have to ask Nana. She's an expert...

We have an old Streetpilot III, a 2610 and a hand held.
When we upgrade it will be to the Zumo.
Love Garmin! Which the map source people would do a better job.

Zumo 550. It's a great unit made for bikes, waterproof, shockproof and easy to use.
We had a Garmin 2720 for our vehicles. Also a good unit, but don't know how waterproof they are.

We have a factory refurbished Garmin 2610. Came with the same 1 year warantee as a new one. Yeah, it is a few genertions old, but we got it for less than $200, new they were about $900! No Mp3, satellite radio, phone connection or bluetooth. It has a nice readable screen in all light levels, even with the sun behind us, it's waterproof, does a great job of navigation, and even has a remote (!) that the Admiral uses from the commanders' seat. (she actually controls the trike; I just get to hold the handlebars)
I tend to like single-purpose devices. Was looking to possibly upgrade to a new Garmin with all the toys built in, but, for example, if the navigation part quit and had to go in for service, I would be out the Mp3 or satellite radio and anything else on the unit.

After all these years and I still have not become expert at keeping my husband under control, so I couldn't possibly accept being considered an expert for you guys too. But thanks for the "complement".Mickey, you're an honest man. I've had the same exact experience. I think there's a "gene" going around.

I remember a tour book out a while ago - I believe it was called the "Inferno"
by some guy named Dante.
I've been banished to the fifth level of hell.
