    Default GPS for 2013 RTL

    Anyone parting with their GPS unit? I recently purchased my 2013 Spyder RT Limited and the previous owner sold the GPS unit. I have no desire to pay EBay prices. I still have the mount, just the head unit was sold.

    I guess I should also ask if the GPS is really worth buying since we all have phones with GPS....maybe none of you really use yours or it’s too outdated with the maps.

    I always like the GPS unit because Cell phone coverage can get kind of sketchy in the mountains of the North East and GPS is always on. I have a 2019 F3L that has the BRP connect on it that pairs your phone and uses apps for GPS but the issue is when you have your phone connected and using the GPS, that is all you have. No Radio nuttin.

    I got mine off Ebay, and my suggestion is if you are going for one since you have the mount I suggest the ZUMO 595. It is far superior to the 590 and a bit less expensive.

    FYI that should be the Garmin Zumo 660 mount. Few available & for sale here time to time. Can be handy unit in addition to phone. Usually more dependable at getting signal (mine has only cut out in parking garage or two)

    Many locations I travel have no cell service.
    The only time I lost GPS service (in my truck), excluding long tunnels, was approaching the Virgin River narrows in Zion National Park.

    The 2013 RT Limited had the 660. You might try calling Garmin and see if they have any refurbished ones they're selling.

    If you use your phone I know google maps allows you to download a portion of maps for offline use.
