Gps question?

Nate749 · 07-23-2010, 10:01 PM

So does anyone have a gps for their bike? I am looking for a gps and mount for the gixxer. I want to go out and really try and find some nice roads but find my way back safely... any ideas or suggestions?

I got the Nuvi 1200 just a basic gps has good reviews and I will post when install is complete. My sister has the 1100 and is a good unit it has a rechargable battery with a 4 hr life and we have used the snot out of it and I like it. I could have gone with a bigger fancier "motorcycle" unit but they are essentially the same thing and im not paying 5-7times more.

I use my Droid. I zip tied the belt clip to the triple tree and the phone clicks right in.
