I have turned one on in the middle of the Atlantic and left it on till it went flat and nothing.

If you wade through all the crap it's an assisted gps.
It will narrow it down through cell triangulation then the gps should bring it down further. But if it can't do the first it won't usually do the second.

I have a iPhone 3GS a 4 and a iPad. None will pick up a signal offshore.

gps checked again in the middle of the red sea, no wireless and no network signals available. GPS fix within 1 minute and very similar to the boats gps.

all depends on which mapping software you are using, preloaded works, google maps doesnt as it needs a network to download the maps.

Android - copilot

I've used TomTom in the past but have been very unhappy with theri maps being woefully out of date. Just notified the other week that an amendment in the road layout in the city of Bristol had been changed - 2.5 years nearly after I submitted... that's service with a smile.

Currently been using Co-pilot in the car for last 18months. Excellent app and extremely reasonable given the cost c.£18-21.

I have just got hold of a waterproof case/mount of flea bay for £11 ish and will try that on the new GSA when I pick the bike up on friday . I guess that the screen is going to let it down in the sunshine, is my only concern as it's hard enough to see in daylight outdoors as it is.

If this is not a workable solution then I will look at the TT Rider or Garmin Zumo. My question is.... are the Garmins really worth the extra over the TT Rider costs? If the answer is yes, then can you justify the additional expense and on what grounds???

Regards
James

I have just bought. Zumo 220 as myTT Rider 1 finally died. I was determined to get. Garmin as I had so many problems with the TT-but to be honest the TT felt easier to use with a much clearer display IMO

TT 2 gets my vote, tried both and I recon the TomTom wins which ever you get you will probably wish you got the other
