NOT SURE WHERE TO POST

What kind of Navigation systems are you using on your bike? And how do you like it?
 
I'm also not a fan of a full time nav system. I'll research my route with paper maps and MapQuest Maps - Driving Directions - Map. Write the highlights on a card or paper that stays in my pocket until needed. Bring the map and a cheap Tom Tom GPS with me. Refer to the map as needed and turn on the GPS as a last resort. This, for me, makes for a more enjoyable riding experience than being a slave to a nav system and staring at its screen instead of the scenery.
 
I normally check the map first and make some notes of print some directions out and keep with me. If i'm going on a really long trip I will take the Garmin along just incase.
 
I actually use a Casio G'z One cell phone on the Verizon Wireless network with their built in app....VZNavigator when necessary. Other than that, I try to preroute myself using Google maps as much as possible.

Old Tech: Thomas Guide Book (ol' truckers standby) or AAA Travel Tix (if I want a pre-planned itinerary done for me). :newsmile057:

New Tech: Tom Tom (wired live all the time cigar/accessory socket to wire to my battery tender fused cord), but now they have pre-made ones at the HD dealer now. I would suggest one made for bikes (they are way expensive though...HD one I hear is 'round $700 large).:small3d031:
