The tall one
Hola people!
So the past few days have been awesome. I have become exponentially less productive at work because I spend most of my time thinking about my post-work ride and planning the route on google maps
In general I love feeling lost and exploring roads and places I haven't been to before. The only thing that bugs me is when it starts getting dark out (I have this irrational fear from riding in the dark) and want to get home but have no clue whatsoever how to get there.
So I've decided to invest in a GPS. I have a car unit that I keep in my pocket but it's a pain in the ass to stop every couple of miles, get my gloves off, get my helmet off cos I start boiling in it, get my gps out of my pocket, see which way am I headed, get it back in my pocket ... you get the point. It's tedious.
I am looking at the Zumo 660 (it's cheaper than the 550). I read some reviews where it's getting compared to the cheaper tomtom motorcycle gps and from what I've read you get what you pay for.
So my question is, how hard is it to hook up a gps to my bike? Are there accessory cables I could use or will I need a BS in Electrical Engineering to get it properly hooked up?
Any gps unit/installation hints/suggestions?
Cheers everyone!
P.S.
I did a search for "gps" and I was surprised nothing turned up on the results page ...
