I'm with you, I like to get lost too. Then I use my GPS to find my way home. Otherwise I'd still be wandering around somewhere in the backroads of Kentucky...

I had been using the Magellan RoadMate for about a year. Worked great. I recently upgraded to a Garmin Zumo, so My Roadmate with accessories, mount, etc. are up for sale. PM me if interested.

Re:auto gps on a bike 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
For what it's worth, I just picked this one up for my Nuvi 760 - only $8.99 w/ free shipping. Yes, I know it's plastic and I much would have preferred the chrome one for $40, but I'm strapped for cash. Besides, I like the fact that it comes off easily when I want it to AND it fits my 1.25" bars. I'll still attach a safety cable to the unit just in case the thing is a POS and breaks, but for the price...

Just a note to EVERYONE who uses a GPS on your bike, make sure you tether it just in case you hit the big bump and it jostles loose.

Darn You mean you don't think you would want to watch it trying to catch up to you bouncing down the highway? Good tip though!

No doubt. While heading down to the M&G last year, I had my nephews' dads GPS stuck onto my tank and I hit it with my hand. 70MPH on the highway and boy did that thing slide a ways before coming to a stop! It had road rash, but still worked. We put it away and used paper maps the rest of the way! Oh yeah!, good times.

Re:auto gps on a bike 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Ok, so got a good deal on this: http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=76&Lid=4&Category=0 tom tom go300 mapquest. It does not come with a "car charger"

I see that it takes 5 volts, DC. I find in my drawer a Nokia phone car charger, it says it is 5.7 volts, DC. Spose it's close enough? What could a feller do to knock it down .7 volts??? thanks!

I have the TomTom One 3rd Edition and I found that my charger from my old Razr worked just fine with it so went into a gas station and bought a cheap charger and now that I broke the phone and hae a different one I got a charger for the bike and one to keep in the truck.
