What after-market GPS is most favored by Spyder riders?

Not the most favored but I sure like using my Samsung Galaxy 7" tablet with the Sygic GPS app. Great app and the screen size is wonderful!

I brag about it here! :yes: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?64013-Using-a-non-BRP-GPS-Part-1

Most favored? No clue
I've been using a Garmin 660 since it came out, and across 3 bikes (2 Harleys and now Spyder RT).
It's weatherproof and easily adaptable to most makes and configurations.

i have had the Garmin 660 on three spyders and been happy with them all (both the spyders and the garmins)

 

[maliamd]

Zumo 660 seems to be the brand many use. I really like mine. My only critique as with others is that it is hard to see the screen sometimes in the sunlight.

Hi,

I used the Zumo before, the Zumo based software is outdated and not as easy to use as the ZooZ 5.0" waterproof GPS.

Check out this ZooZ GPS, there are numerous Spyders in the West Coast using it, there is also a special Spyder adapter for this unit so it is very easy to install.

You can see some information on the modern advanced software at

Thanks

Thanks for the info

I am thinking if trading my RTL and I really like having a GPS. I will look into the one I had not heard of before. The 660 is what I had in mind (or the 665)

I'LL BET THIS ONE

What after-market GPS is most favored by Spyder riders?

Probably the most expensive one :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:.............Seriously tho, I have a Garmin LMT 50...5in screen..............and it was really easy to make it waterproof......one wrap around with Saran Wrap each way .......short of submerging it that's good enough IMHO.....Mike :thumbup:

So true!
I use an inexpensive LM50 I bought awhile ago from "crews or joe". It's been through a few rain storms and works good for what I need it for. As long as it keeps turning on, it will stay. Best part is that since it's cheap, I don't worry much about it disappearing while I'm away from the bike. If it does, I'm not out much.

I am using my Harley 665 on my spyder now and works fine:thumbup:

 

[Chupaca]

There you go...!!

as you can see...Garmin... a variety of models. I just pull the one from the car and go but can't justify the cost of the special for models....:thumbup:

Thanks for your post szohar, can you explain more about the Spyder adapter and if it's needed on an F3S? Where/how to order? Thx!

I did not consider the 50 LMT would be that water tight! Thanks!

It probably isn't, and who knows what mine looks like on the inside.....[emoji38] However, for the $100 it doesn't break the bank.

Just found this review on the mentioned ZooZ GPS.

Hi Blickdave, You can order it on the website, at the checkout use the coupon SPY40 and get $40 discount.

For the F3 you don't need the adapter that was developed for the RT.

Please don't hesitate to PM me and I will send you my phone number to answer any question you may have.

What software does it use for mapping? How often is it updated? Are the map updates free or is there a fee? How long has the mapping software been around in the US? I couldnt really find any info on zooz or the zg5050 you sell. Thanks!

Very similar to a lot of other GPS units coming out of China.

You have to buy maps as they do not come with them. Cannot speak for this ZooZs device by if I had to bet, you have to buy maps.
