There’s nothing like cruising the open road on a motorcycle. My friends and I especially like journeying back roads where the scenery makes me glad I’m a biker. We seek out the roads less traveled and these days we’ve found infinite paths available to us thanks to my GPS maps. You have to know more about it by reading the article below.
I have a Nuvi 350 – an old model when I bought it a year and a half ago, but it’s still going strong. It’s a nice waterproof model that I mount on my motorcycle for easier touring. And the GPS maps are fantastic.
Now here’s the exciting thing. My Nuvi lets me plan routes on my computer and upload them as GPS maps. Very nice when I want to plan out a nice ride using info from other riders. The Nuvi’s are point-to-point devices, although I can put a single waypoint in either (stop at the grocery on the way to work, for example). The higher end Nuvi units now have multiple waypoint routing, so you could fake a planned ride by just putting in waypoints at any of the big intersections on a planned ride.
The only drawback I’ve found is that sometimes roads change names in towns and back roads and the name you’re given may not be the same as the name the GPS map uses at that time. But with the GPS itself I don’t have to worry that I’ll get lost. I can just “map” my way back or find an alternative route home.
