TomTom RIDER 2: Designed Specifically for Motorcycles and Scooters

TwoWheel News said, "As far as the actual RIDER GPS navigator is concerned, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a unit that will get you from A to B (possibly by way of C, D, and E). The RIDER is easy to use, mounts quickly on your bike, and can be controlled even with gloves on, sun glaring down, and a tinted shield on your helmet. Features that should appeal to bikers are the larger controls on the screen, it being water-resistant, and the excellent bike mount. Most useful feature of the RIDER, and one which sets it apart from the non motorcycle-specific competition, is the Bluetooth voice navigation." [January 12, 2006]

Garmin motorcycle-ready GPS navigators offer rugged, reliable GPS guidance, featuring crisp, sunlight-readable colour displays, IPX7-waterproof design and detailed, street-level MapSource cartography to take the work and worry out of motorcycle navigation. The road-rugged, solid-state internal flash memory ensures better performance and durability than the vibration-sensitive hard drives found in competitive units, and Garmin motorcycle mounts are designed with a standard 4-hole AMPS pattern to accommodate the widest range of mounting options, and all Garmin motorcycle mounts feature a quick release to allow the unit to be easily removed for automotive use or safe storage. Trip planning is straightforward, with the ability to create and save routes on the GPS unit itself, or with MapSource PC software*, which allows you to transfer waypoints, routes and tracks between your Garmin GPS and your PC.
