    $160-affordable pocket GPS- any info on this

    Does anyone own one of these or can provide real world feedback?

    seems practical for a bike/personal use, not waterproof but nothing a ziplock can't fix.

    Wow man that looks really nice for the price, said its got all maps for canada and usa thats good, i think i saw a earphone jack which helps, and the mp3 and photo option is sick. I think that would be highh on my list to get.

    Glad wrap will take care of a light shower and relatively easy to see through.

    Yeah I use the Lowrance Iway 250c which isn't waterproof and ziplock it when it rains.

    My only advice is make sure you can find a motorcycle mount for it before buying it, sometimes it's a real pain to find them for non-brand names.

    2.8 inch screen might be a little small.

    What you pay for is what you get. A device like a GPS you don't want to skimp out on because (if you're anything like me) you use it a lot and will regret a crappy unit the moment it doesn't do half the things you thought it could. Screen size, map upgrade-ability, etc are all things you should factor in. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to look at the brands people use most:

    This motorcycle is simply too goddamn fast to ride at speed in any kind of normal road traffic unless you're ready to go straight down the centerline with your nuts on fire and a silent scream in your throat.

    I've learned my lesson the hard way. Never buy anything from TigerDirect. There's a reason why it's so cheap...

    buy a zumo 550. You'll laugh at all others that people are using on their motorcycles.
