Might be useful to someone, my gf has the car version with tomtom routes and it's damn good. Better than my cheap chinese one in a box with dodgy software. 4 times the price of course!

I've had a TomTom Rider v2 for a couple years and can't fault it, though I did prefer some of the features of a Garmin Zumo I had beforehand.
Looks like TomTom have entirely updated their bike sat nav range:
TomTom - Bike navigation - Products - TomTom
Anybody got one already and want to give us a review?

Started off with the Garmin Zumo, think it was there 400 model. Never liked it from the word go very confusing especially when approaching
a roundabout plus no bluetooth. Saying that it was there cheapest model at the time so I would imagine that if I had purchased a different model it probably would have been as good as the tom tom.
Sold the Garmin about two years ago on e-bay got back around what I paid for it. Purchased my tom tom rider 2 also off e-bay at a decent price,
never looked back with the tom tom very pleased, also came with a head set for blue tooth which gives really clear instructions.
Also got some free down loads with it which I did find useful. I still get loads of e-mails off then to see if I want more down loads but there is a charge for that. Did have one problem from which I can remember is when I tried to down load my freebies the tom tom crashed and I lost every thing.
Got in touch with tom tom who were very helpful and they quickly sent me an e-mail which then transferred me to there site with step by step instructions. And within a hour or so I managed to get all the data back. :thumbup: Would I purchase the tom tom again Yes!

I've had the TomTom Rider V2 for a few years now, very pleased with it. The Cardo bluetooth headset is fantastic and clear. I bought a TomTom Rider compatible car mount so that I can use it in the car. The mount came with car charger, as you need to plug it in for the voice commands to come through the mount speaker.
Definately recommend TomTom.
