The TomTom Rider is a very nice piece of kit, I have one here. One of the only downsides is that TomTom has neglected to build an external speaker into the car mount, which means you also have to wear the earpiece in the car if you want to hear any sound. I won't even begin to tell you how stupid I think this is. There is a possibility of having an external speaker, but this requires you to invest in a Bluetooth handfree car kit of some sort, which can be pretty pricey as well.
But apart from that, the Rider is great. It has an extremely good reception, and the maps are also quite accurate.


Yeah, everything I've read echos your comments. Do you happen to have a picture of it on your bike? I have a sportbike (2005 zx6r) and I haven't found any pictures of a bike like mine with the TomTom Rider mounted to it... All BMW's and similar...

I've also read that the US maps are from 2001, and most of the data is even older than that... I think the EU maps are much more up to date...

Lastly, Archeon, is this review accurate? http://reviews.cnet.com/TomTom_RIDER_GPS...6&tag=uolst

Thanks for your help.
