Garmin, but it is better here off road map-wise than the Tom-Tom. I had a Tomtom before and really liked it, but now I roll with Garmin because it is easier to interface with other users. Both have their quirks, both have a lot of good.
Ha ha. I think I still have the maps I used to ride from Michigan to Florida back in 1978. It rained everyday on the way back to Michigan. You could hardly tell the front of the map from the back of the map, and it was nearly in pieces. And imagine riding all that way without a phone!I prefer reading glasses and a paper road map.
Haha, this is so true. My last trip I had my Garmin and my phone on my bars, pretty much only used my phone. But I do still use a gps in the backcountry.What is this, 2007? Get a really solid phone mount, and a hands-free maps/navigation app man!
Your maps seem to be done in a completely different format than ours.Y’ll forgot sextant - maybe I’ll just get one of those!!

Exactly, and also bear in mind I’ll be going through 4 different countries (excluding mine) in the week, with a couple of different languages (and hybrids of those, what with Belgian and Dutch), four different sets of road signs and rules, not to mention they all drive on the wrong side of the roadCart paths versus grid patterns......
I like your thinking!I usually just go with bad directions scrawled on the back of a napkin.
Agreed - already ordered a Garmin, ignoring the ‘comedians’ on here!! :grin2:I have a Garmin GPSMAP 64s and a RAM mount. The thing is bulletproof old-style navigation but can do more than Google Maps. And it uses large, glove-proof buttons with positive feedback. Don't have to stop and take off your gloves or wear fancy schmancy "e-gloves" in order to use it while riding. Waterproof, charge lasts for days, runs off cheap and available everywhere AA batteries.
Sure, for putting down to a new restaurant or a couple-hour ride on the weekend the phones are fine but I suggest the real deal.
