Thinking of buying/fitting GPS

Ive got one of the Blue media "destinators"

Ive mounted it to the firestorm, by making a small alloy plate, which i have bolted via the 2 front tank mounting bolts, and it is bent and angled so it sits over the top yoke just below the ignition. Very easy to see clearly,and it clears everything lock to lock.

Will try and get some pics on tomorrow during daylight.

I bought the new tomtom go 1

well, had it for my birthday. its good. just not sure how i can attach it to the bike and how to waterproof it

this system looks quite good - the one linked by thumper.

i don't believe that any of the tomtom products other than the rider is waterproof

alot of people recomend the garmin 2610, its waterproof and has various bike mounting kits available

I've just bought a Garmin Streetpilot 2610 from GPS warehouse - discontinued model and knoking them out for Â£250 or so, which is a bargain considering they were Â£800 plus a couple of years ago.

just adding my view:

DONT BUY A TOMTOM,

Buy a decent touch screen phone such as the motorola A1000 and a GPS reciever, this can be had for as little as Â£50. Then search google for the tomtom 5 software! Works a treat exactly the same as the actual tomtom unit, only cheaper and with 1000000000000 more fuctions!

If anybody wants any more info let me know
