Tom Tom Rider Satnav question

[RiffmasterII]

Ive been offered one for £40 and was just wondering if anybody has one and if they're any good? This one has UK and Ireland maps so I will need to buy the European maps

[Guest akey]

I use a tomtom rider V1 and at that price (as long as it works) even if you have to buy the fitting kit, I would snap their hand off mate.

Yep ...... ...... if not, i'll have it!

Roger that, cheers mate, any idea where i should start looking for a fitting kit? Also any idea how much Id pay for Euro maps?

[Guest]

download straight from tomtom.com for maps, unless you want to take a chance with ebay.

mounting kits .... depends what version ... if it a V1, ebay only cos they have stopped making them, i made my own. Or touratech do one for £110.00

V2 ... thats what google is for!! But they pretty much everywhere you can buy the TomTom...

I have a V2 and it's okay. I'm not a fan of the keyboard as it takes forever to actually register I'm touching anything within 0.5" of the side of the display. It also keeps loosing all the data (cheap SD cards they sell them with) which is a pain and the ram mount, while functional, is ugly as heck.

With all that said - the software works well, it's definitely waterproof and it's fairly easy to use to get from A-B without adding other dimensions into it. £40 is a bargain, I've been thinking of selling mine but keep thinking I might need it some time and don't know what I'd get for it.

I'll give you £40 for yours

Sounds like you've already made up your mind, but my dads got one and he swears blind by it. Paid a darn site more than £40 too

[houltmac]

I'd sell it just to have the fuel money right now, but I'd need more than that!

[Guest]

£40 is a steal! Mine is the V2 and I hardly use it, probably the biggest waste of money I've spent on my bike

Dont get me wrong, ace bit of kit, problem is I rather get lost and enjoy the ride!

[RiffmasterII]

[Guest]

You're welcome

[houltmac]

If you can find them

[alan29]

Here's a thing .......

get a Binatone from Tesco - £35 (It has a headphone socket, too.)

Hunt around the net and put all the Tomtom maps etc you could want for nothing.

Rig up a mounting - mine cost £15 using a satnav case and velcro straps.

£50 all sorted.

blimey youve done well there mate, did you sell it on here?

[houltmac]

Someone on another forum DM'd me on twitter

[Guest akey]

Riff, if you can get hold of a scarla rider instead of the tom tom bluetooth headset. Mind you the display is pretty good anyway so you dont really need the audio instructions.

I might have a few fitting bits knocking around (cant promise) but will have a look at the weekend - where about are you?
