I've been considering buying a GPS for the following applications:
1 - My wife needs turn-by-turn instructions pretty much no matter where she needs to go - even if she's been there many times.
2 - Also to mount on my 1800 for longer trips. I'm riding from MI to FL in a couple weeks and will wander through WV, KY, TN, VA, NC and GA along the way. I have a great sense of direction, use maps and hand-written notes but a GPS seems like it would be helpful, especially to find gas stations, eateries, motels, etc. I've been through these areas 3 times (always on backroads) and some of them are not well marked. Only been "lost" once. Fortunately it was not in fading light.
I have two different price ranges:
1 - Price is no object (literally). I'm inclined to buy here. I'll spend what it takes to get "forward-looking" technoligy but ease of operation is important. Remember, I'm not tech savy.
2 - Bang-for-the-buck range but don't know what features would be important to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. I wish Jon lived in my area.
