I’m a huge fan of the Tom Tom Sat Nav, Satellite Navigation GPS systems.  There’s just something about the crystal clear navigation display that works especially well for me.  There’s a great list of the lineup in sat nav from currys. They have a number of great offerings in the Tom Tom line. Personally for my money the 910 is one of my favorites.

There’s times when I have to see the 3d image of where I’m going and then there’s times when I need the voice and sometimes I need both.
But even if you are looking to use GPS on a budget or your just doing some geocaching as a hobby, I checked out the Gizmondo device last January at CES and this gaming device now doubles as a nice little GPS unit as well. It doesn’t have as large of a display as an in car Tom Tom, but its a handheld.  It is clear and it is sharp.
I haven’t tried one of these out on my motorcycle yet, but I’ve been itching to do it. If the rain would let up for a couple of days, maybe I’ll give it a spin even head up into the hills or something and do a little trail riding.  I suspect I won’t get lost at all, just have to make sure I have enough fuel to make it back to civilization.  Its one thing to ride in but when you have to hike out and then carry the fuel back in again with you, well I’ll just be careful.  Maybe the technology will have me covered with a nice GPS route out of the wilderness to the nearest gas station.
