Only comment that I have is that GPS systems that use Navteq maps usually work better than those with Tele-Atlas (like this one) in the US.

Garmin FTW. Tom Tom supposedly works far better in Europe than it does here in the states.

that must use the same software as my Mio GPS, because the display looks identical.

I will second the garmin suggestion. I got my GPS super cheap about 3 years ago. If I were to get a new one, it would be garmin.

Good luck.

Not sure what else there is for motorcycles. But you get what you pay for. The Zumos are Garmin, can't go wrong there...you just go broke!

Hmm, I guess the only diff is waterproof vs not. I guess I could look for marine GPS's.

Sorry for the thread hijack, back to topic...
