Riding in Beautiful North Yorkshire....
« on: 22 October 2012, 02:22:34 pm »
Visit "Bikes & Travels" - a great Biker's Blog. I've got a couple of rideout-logs on there and there's PLENTY of other interesting stuff to read.

It's the TomTom Rider V3. I've had the Garmin Zumo too and prefer the TomTom (although the Zumo comes with brilliant pre-planning software).

I've got the Zumo550 and preplanning a route on the PC is essential for long (euro) trips for me, pity the TomTom doesn't do that.

Well actually, you can now pre-plan with TomTom Home's routing software but it's not a patch on the Zumo 550 software.
