I cant believe I havent heard the tom tom rider mentioned on this thread. The thing is the mutts nutts, not only does it find your route with accuracy, it has a host of features including, eg you can punch say an hotel in, not only does it find it, this thing will even give you the phone number of the hotel, then if you have headset inside your helmet you can even dial it and book a reservation (if you have bluetooth activated) check it out ;D ;D [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=banana.gif]

Newer Garmin units do things similar to Tom Tom and more.

With the Garmin unit pluged into the radio, plug on radio face, 06 SE Ultra will the voice promps come through the speakers??? If they do will they cut in while listening to music???

I have the Garmin 2820...if you store MP3 songs on the unit and are playing them through the AUX input on the HK radio (see posts for wires needed to do this) the unit will override the music and give directions through all the speakers and continue to do so until you have completed the immediate turns, etc, then return to playing music.  Or, you can do as mentioned and just switch from Radio/CD/XM on the HK to AUX when you need to hear the lady talk to you.  The techmount is chome, nicely made.  I personally would not pay the money for the HK GPS module when there are options like the Garmin.  The 2820 holds the entire North American continent in it's memory...the HK unit requires discs for different areas of the country from my understanding.  It comes on the 07's, but on an 06 there are better options in my opinion....

After reading the insightful comments from this sight, I purchased the Garmin 2820 and utilized it during our ride to Sturgis.  I had downloaded the waypoints for all of the Harley-Davidison dealers, got from this site, and received a tone alarm every time I got within a mile or so of a HD dealer.  I also had downloaded hours worth of MP3s and would listen to the MP3s whenever I needed to utilize the voice directions.  The only downside to the GPS is when you constantly are designated the lead rider and you inadvertinately make a wrong turn.   [smiley=oops.gif] The hotel, restaurant, etc. listings are invaluable when you do not preplan stops during your trip.  We found it much easier to reserve rooms by phone prior to arriving instead of pulling up with a bunch of bikes.

My 2 cents --

I like the navigationsince I dont have a map to look at....once you get used to this, it works pretty well, but there is the exception of where it says go right and you know to go left....

But you would get that with most.....

Anybody know how often they will update the discs....

I have owned the Garmin street pilot for about 4 years.  During that time they have come out with 3 udates of the discs.  They will give you a free upgrade if you purchased your gps within the year the update was released.

 [smiley=cherry.gif]Has anyone tried the Garmin nuvi 660 yet ?? My wifes wanted to get me a GPS for X-mas for 2 or 3 years now & I've put her off,but I think I'd better give up & tell her wich one to get before she picks one herself.I've always been a map guy & am sure I'll take a lot of flack from my GPS friends when I show up with one."Coarse I've never Given them a hard time when they've made what we call a GPS turn arround.

I was considering adding the GPS to my '06 SEUC Advanced Audio System, though when I checked the price online (HD) I almost choked.  I was prepared to shell out some bucks for this option but couldn't believe the $1,000 price tag (thats $1,500 Canuck-a-Bucks) for arrows and voice prompts.  Can anyone with an '06 SEUC with the "embedded" GPS convince me it is worth it...
