I've been using the Lowrance 350c. Not waterproof, but like RoadieFF, it doesn't rain much down here. Got a RAM mount for it and it works fine. Getting a better set of earplugs to hear it better with my 3/4 helmet.

There have been some problems reported about people picking up viruses on their PC's from downloads on the Tom-Tom website. You might want to be aware of that.

Anytime you download something from the internet onto your computer there's always a chance of getting a virus. As long as your anti-virus system is legit and up to date, u really don't have anything to worry about. I use Mcafee--that protection system is Dy-No-Mite!!!

And since your TomTom unit is backed up onto your hard drive--if the unit crashes, you always have a backup.

I really don't think it's a major concern.

I also use the TomTom rider 2. It was a littler spendy but came with a bluetooth headset and a ram mount. You can see it in this picture.

Here's the artice regarding the virus' on some TomTom units:

Isolated number of TomTom GO 910's may be infected with a virus

It has come to our attention that a small, isolated number of TomTom GO 910’s, produced in one week in the last quarter of 2006, may be infected with a virus. The virus is qualified as low risk and does not affect the navigation performance of the TomTom GO 910 in any way. The virus can be removed safely with virus scanning software. Appropriate actions have been taken to make sure this is prevented from happening again in the future.

Affected devices
It has been confirmed that a small number of TomTom GO 910 devices, produced between September and November 2006, and shipped with software version 6.51, may be infected with a virus.

Known risks
The viruses that were detected present an extremely low risk to customers’ computers or the TomTom GO 910. To date, no cases of problems caused by the viruses are known.

How to detect the virus?
In the isolated cases that a virus was detected, it was found when the TomTom GO 910 was connected to the computer and for example, a back-up of the content on the device was being made.

What to do when a virus is found?
TomTom highly recommends that all TomTom GO 910 customers update their virus scanning software, and if a virus is detected, allow the virus scanning software to remove the ‘host.exe’ file, ‘copy.exe’ file or any other variants.

The above identified files or any variants can safely be removed from the device with virus scanning software, and are NOT to be removed manually, as they are not part of the standard installed software on a TomTom GO 910. They present no danger whilst driving with the TomTom GO 910.

Customers that do not have virus scanning software are advised to install virus scanning software. The internet offers many free online virus scanners like Symantec and Kaspersky) that will remove the virus safely from the TomTom GO 910 as soon as it is detected.

Any customers who experience problems or have further questions are welcome to contact our Customer Support department."

A lot of verizon phones have GPS in them. $10 per month. Just put it in your pocke and stick the earphone in your year. The service is great. It will also find you any type of busines from your location, or from any location you choose. Mine is on my Blackberry, but lots of their phones have it. It's called VZ Navigator I think.

One box instead of two, always up to date, no initial cost.
