Can someone tell me what is the least expensive motorcycle GPS
available? I'm looking for something small with long battery
life. I saw a Garmin StreetPilot I3 Auto GPS for $200, but
it didn't say it was for a motorcycle.
-Thanks

I hope you didn't spend too much time thinking that up.

I bet those map surveys don't have the address and phone number of all
the eatin' places and hotels in the next town down the road... My 376c
does. Sure is nice to be able to call ahead for reservations at the end
of a long day of travel. :)
I bet those map surveys don't come with an XM receiver. My 376c does.
Sure is nice to be able to listen to any kind of music (or talk) I want
regardless of where I go.
Yah, I can read a map and navigate using same. When I was a youngster
I'd start packing my stuff for a hike by putting the map at the bottom of
the pack. Then I'd navigate myself away from the house using "minute
hand navigation". Eventually, a few days later, I'd pull out the map,
figure out where I was, and go shortest/easiest distance home...

Who do you think supplied the coordinates and addresses for the hotels?

And in the next post-holocaust movie, some people will be rooting though
a camping-equipment store. Some kid will say, Hey! Let's get these GPS
receivers! And Keith will be there to say, no, they shot down all the
GPS satellites.
