I think people stay with the same make mainly through familiarity.

I have always had TomTom for the car and use TomTom rider 2 on the bike keep them updated for maps and speed cameras I would personaly not switch to another brand and would highly reccomend the TomTom

All the riders I am in contact with on other forums would choose the Zumo. I don't own one but people who do have them wouldn't change.

Tomtom is cheaper and looks easier to use

I use my Garmin nuvi 310 car gps in a water proof bag on a ram mount ball attatched to the handlebar clamp bolt with no probs so far .
The maps are easy to handel on tomtom but i have found Garmin better for my purpose, but eatch on their on i think.
one thing i have find great with Garmin is that you dont need to have the hole map installed ,just the parts you need so you can have some mp3 music there instead .
But i think you have seen my solution on the bike mate .


Cheers Maveric

I think its called the Urban as well, I have read that it doesn't come with the headset or mounting bracket/powercable but not sure.
I have the rider 2 europe and it came with a scala headset and all mounting brackets and cables to hard wire it to the bike.
I can't fault it, have used it many times without bother. I was also looking at the Zumo but picked the tomtom purely on price and that the Zumo didn't come with a headset.
