I just got a GPS for Christmas and it is AWESOME!! I dont know how I lived without one!! I bought the CityGuide and downloaded my riding areas with exact detail..it is awesome!! I can use the computer to trip plan and then download my route into my GPS. I love this thing!!
I highly recommend it for anyone, either in a car or a boat, a plane..or walking!!
I really like the MAX SPEED feature so you can go out and do HIGH SPEED runs nad know exactly how fast you went and how far your total ride was from start to finish...

 

Ya, great for high speed runs ... you'll be amazed how far off the stock speedos are.

 

What type of GPS? Does it hook on the bike? Backpack? More info plz...I might want one.
Thanks,
Dragon

 

The one I recorded the 228mph on was a Garmin e-trex (sp?). For about $120 ya get the GPS, mount and 12V converter. Gotta mount a cig lighter on the bike somewhere though -- other option is many many many batteries. The e-trex didn't do maps -- just plotted where you went and how fast you did it.

 

GPS's are awseome. What model did you get limpz?

 

I got the Garmin Legend handheld unit and also the Metroguide map CD that has detailed maps of all of America, Canada, and Puerto Rico that I can download into my GPS and it shows all the streets. I have it in my car and am amazed at how acurate it is and it is fun routing myself somewhere and having it tell me ( in writing) " APPROACHING TURN" and so on...It is awesome and the speed Data is cool also, I havent had a chance to go out and blast on my bike yet to see how fast ( slow) my bike is due to record rainfall here this last week

 

Sirlimpzalot, what did you use to mount the GPS to your bike?

I just put in my tankbag..I only have it visable in the car

 

so you cant see it while riding?

 

That is correct..I can not see it while riding unless I come up with a bracket to mount it...I just use to see what my actual top speed was, and to see how far I am ( lost) from my desired location...
