GPS what is the best for the can am Spyder?

[Peter Aawen]

Which model & year is your Spyder, Classy?

My 2013 RT Ltd came with a Garmin Zumo 660 & mount (same GPS & mount as the retail Zumo's except with BRP proprietry wiring set-up & map set, so you can't just swap in the std retail versions! :sour: ) but I'm pretty sure that within a couple of years of mind the GPS Model had changed, then changed again just over a year after the first change, and then BRP stopped including any separate GPS & mount on the 2018's & up......

Hi,

Having tried a lot of application on my iPhone in the past years, the best I finally came with is MyRouteApp.com

they have a web site where you can make your own route and add all the waypoints you want.

And they have 2 different iPhone and Android apps. MyRouteApp and MyRouteApp Navigation. the first one is to be able to make and edit your route on your phone and the second one is their Navigation app.

With the Navigation App, you can download maps so you don't need any cell phone signal to be able to use it.

Using this combination for 2 years and it's the best I've found so far.

I use a TomTom XXL adapted from an auto.
Made a custom mount with a Ram Ball and an EBAy X-Grip.
Bought a sunshade on Ebay. Power it thru direct wiring to my battery.
Works for me. Total cost less than $100.

I bought my Spyder and the factory gps is not on it. Do you know what model it is? Want to buy a replacement.

Year and model of Spyder would be helpful.

Zumo and dash mount

[FONT=Century Gothic]I decided not to buy the original GPS as it was hard to find and expensive. Don't know how long Garmin will support it.

I use a Garmin Zumo 395 (I think). Use a "dash mount" attachment I bought from one of the forum sponsors and a Ram mount. It attaches directly to the battery, in the frunck. When it's raining I'll figure something else out. The frunck gets wet enough.
