Try the Adventure Rider forum, sub forum "layin down tracks" A wealth of info of all kinds --probably more than you want to know

Tom Tom is universally slammed there.. I'll try to post a link

I was lookin' for a GPS for sometime; checked out the BMW Navigators but unfortunately didn't have a grand lying around

I really wanted one of the streetpilots but the cheapest unit I could find was approximately Ã‚Â£450 which was alot more than I wanted to spend.

Browsing around I stumbled on gps warehouse. They had the Streetpilot 2610 for Ã‚Â£289 inc. bike kit, RAM mount and car kit. Ideal for me really so I bought it. Only other accessories I needed where a new CF flash card as the supplied version is only 256Mb; I also bought a helmet headset kit which was about Ã‚Â£23 from Touratech.

As the kit included the power lead, I got it fitted at my local dealers for a reasonable price. I was also entitled to a free DVD update from Garmin to the latest Mapsource data, v9.

I know it's an older unit but it's very very good and I'm extreamly happy with it. I be tempted to look around and make your decision for all the right reasons.

The website for gps is http://www.gpsw.co.uk

They were *quite* good and delivery was relatively prompt; not the best customer service in the world but good value for money. Checkout what else they've got too!

If there's anything else I can help with let me know.

Just havin' a quick look on gpsw; they've got the Garmin Quest for around Ã‚Â£179 which isn't bad. Nice little unit, plus they do a bike bundle.
