BamaRider Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I'm debating the new Tom Tom Rider, or 27 series Garmin. Does anyone know if the in the box bracket works ok on the 1200 RT? Link to comment
John Bentall Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hello, Guy You might find these threads from the British BMW Club forum interesting. http://www.bmwmcc.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6241 http://www.bmwmcc.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6070 It's early days yet for the Rider and I personally would go for a Garmin unit. The 2720 is around $1200 here in the UK so I'm waiting till the price comes down a little before upgrading my SPIII. Link to comment
Great_Kubuki Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Go online, Amazon, Pricegrabber.com can always find Garmin 2610 and software under $600 or less. Bought mine $550 with rebate from Garmin last year. Tom-Tom can't be routed off PC, not upgradable. Garmin has always stood behind product and software. GK Link to comment
velomoto Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Can't comment on the "box bracket" but I love my new 2720! Adjusts quickly to light changes, easy to read in bright light, and talks to me. Not sure about some of the routes which the GPS has selected, but I'm learning... Greg Link to comment
Brimoon Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'm debating the new Tom Tom Rider, or 27 series Garmin. See the review of the TomTom Rider on WebBikeWorld here. Brian Link to comment
John Bentall Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Thanks, Brimoon. That was interesting. It was a very "sad" review, comparing the Rider to the i5, when it should have been compared to the Quest 2 or 2610. The reviewer does admit that he had little experience with and was sceptical of GPS units - and it shows. Link to comment
radark1 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I just purchased the Garmin 2730 (new model) for $910 shipped. As soon as I get it, supposed to be tomorrow or Thursday....I'll get you all feedback. Link to comment
