Hello Everyone, I just bought a Garmin i3 streetpilot GPS navigation system for my 86 vfr750f, i thought it would be a good thing on the road ? i chose the i3 streetpilot becouse of the small size, i guess i will see how it turns out so my question to everyone is ..... who has done this ? what type did you use ? and how did you like it ? https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=322&tab=spi3 I wish that i had looked into it a bit more before i bought it, this one dose not have bluetooth for my speekers in my helmet but you live and learn
Lot's of information out there on this one. I have a GArmin Zumo 550 on my 2005. I went with the Zumo due to the size of the screen for reading while riding and also the size of the buttons and touch screen which are easy to use while riding as well. Also, it's waterproof and has bluetooth. I use it all the time on the bike. I have a TechMount stem mount holder to attach it to the bike. Here is a picture of it from the Archive.
Its not water proof so keep it away from moister .... For a cheap waterproof model the Quest 2 is a good choice. Brian
I run a Garmin C550 and it works well. The Zumo is definately a better unit on the bike (waterproof and has buttons) but I'm very happy. I live in a dry climate and have no issues operating via touchscreen with gloves on. The MP3 player built in is what I really enjoy. I have a couple of 8 GB cards that I swap in while riding.
