Who uses GPS?

Garmin Quest 1, can withstand vibration, is waterproof, small, battery back up, and come with software to "plan" your own route!  I have one, it's great!

Who uses GPS?

I have a Garmin Quest, without any maps, only towns and cities.  I think it is more fun that way.  I mounted it to the center part of the handlebars, angles just right so it isn't in the way of any gauges.  If I have a certain destination, some town, I do a search for it, and the unit maps the town.  I then set it where it shows a straight line from where I am to the correct town.  Then I know to follow that general direction and eventually I'll get there.

The benefit of doing this is that I'm not afraid to take some backroads that look fun but I don't know where they go.  I still have the adventure of getting lost too.

I also live in the fingerlakes in NY, where almost every road is a backroad...
