Can anyone reccomend one thats good for bikes. Price, usability, reliable etc...

Also, does anyone know if anywhere rents them out to save me buying one?

cheers

dunno bout for bikes but the tom tom is excellent.Gem has a good one too garmin i think it is.Would imagine you can get a bracket to fit the bikes off ebay?

i got a zumo through work its the garmin one. Very nice. but not cheap £500 off the shelf

fookin ell £500! ummm, might be sticking with the map instead at that price

all bike ones are expensive. i managed to get VAT off through work, but i use it a fair bit MP3 player etc

I bought myself a Garmin i3, the only problem is that it isnt waterproof. It sits under my screen and if I get caught out in *really* heavy rain, I stop and put it in my bag/under my pillion seat.
I bought a mount which comprises an M8 bolt with a ball on the end to mount the GPS on to. I then made a bracket to attach the mounting bolt under my screen.
it's not the most advanced GPS, but for the price you cant complain! you can get them for £130 with maps for all of the UK

re tomtom vs Garmin: A friend of mine has both, and says that the Garmin is *much* more accurate when it comes to predicting your ETA,

if you want a cheap waterproof GPS, my other half has the Garmin eTrex legend. It comes with a base map of the entire of Europe with is good enough to get you home

it depends what you want from a GPS really, you can pick up very basic ones for not much money, but they are not much more use than a compass!

if you want cheap, and arent bothered about it being waterproof - the i3 is a great little GPS

map under seat, routeplanner printout on the tank. Away we go.

Whatever happened to the great adventure? Eh? Eh?

Am I sounding old yet?

Sat nav indeed, what next, fuel injection ??

lol pupps. agree entirely.

yeah we never had a sat nav for the charity run.

I still dont believe sat nav. Think we had this discussion before, see previous comments

yeah, we've been around this one before. generally degenerates into piss taking about peoples navigational skills.
