TomTom Rider / car based sat-nav or other ?
I have a tomtom rider v2. Got it on eBay for £80 as faulty... Received it, realised the seller was trying to charge it with a usb cable... Got the right charger lead and works a dream! Pretty sure it was stolen.

Re: TomTom Rider / car based sat-nav or other ?
Had a car tomtom mounted in a waterproof case, one of the earlier ones with an SD card for dodgy updates, it was good, no complaints, but the battery was getting very iffy and I was getting annoyed with the button sizes not being ideal for riding so get a new one.
I could have got a Rider, but decided on a Garmin 660LM Zumo instead, bought by my own company for business travel It's a very good device, the Garmin software, basecamp, is a nice touch too and it has lifetime maps

Re: TomTom Rider / car based sat-nav or other ?
Well timed thread, I'm in exactly the same position as the OP. Weekly mileage has massively increased recently due to new job so looking to move on from a phone to the real deal...

One main issue I'm going to have with carrying about a Satnav is security, it's one extra thing to make me more attractive to thieves and my bike's going to be spending a lot more time parked up in the middle of nowhere off building sites and such. Still weighing up the pros and cons of getting a proper bike sat nav and I'm coming round to thinking a bit more time spent on preparation is definitely cheaper but relies on me having the time to do it. And if I need to go somewhere new without having time to check then that could spell disaster. But it's one extra thing to worry about! Such a first world dilemma Last edited by missyburd; 19-04-14 at 10:23 AM. |
