Hi, I'm interested in buying a GPS unit for use on my K75RT, would be grateful for any positive feedback on the subject. Don't mind paying for quality but would like to keep the price below $250 if possible.
Cheers
Bought a Garmin Nuvi 350 thru Amazon for less than $200. Then bought all needed RAM mounts from CycleGadgets.com.
Used it all the way to Gillette (a 1,000 mile Iron Butt run) and also on the way home.
Never failed me and often bailed me out of not knowing where to gas, lodge or eat.
Won't travel without it again.
I even devised an ingenius way to enclose it in a waterproof case and continue it's use in heavy rain.
Should you get one, PM me for details and I'll send photos as well via e-mail.
Good Luck!
I have a Zumo 550, and it's waterproof. The 350 isn't? I'm surprised. By the way, I love my GPS!
Completely waterproof. Smaller screen, but readable even in direct sun. Mine has a RAM mount and is hardwired into the bike.
Loads of functionality.
Garmin 2720 and RAM mount for ~ $200.00.....eBAy. You can buy from a Garmin dealer and or certified resaler and get a 1 year warr.
I have a 2610, the predecessor to the 2720. I'd buy the 2610 again. It's great.
+1 It seems to offer more flexibility in routing than some of the newer units. I'd be interested to hear from someone who went from the 2610 or similar unit to the Zumo and the differences they found.
No it's not. You're right.
The entire NUVI line (200,250,300,350,360, etc.) from Garmin is designed for use inside a vehicle; not in adverse elements.
But the price and features were so compelling, I found a way to make it work.
Enjoy your Zumo.
