Looking for a better alternative to the Garmin Zumo.
Not a fan of Basecamp trip planning.
Wondered if anyone has experience with the TomTom Rider, and can give their opinions?
Thanks.
Thanks, Brian.
I'm using a non-bluetooth 2 yr old Nuvi now.
Not waterproof, and I recently found out what a drag that can be.
But worse, it's set up to work great if you have a complete address to key in, but say you just want to enter a town 3 towns away from you, forget it. It says, "cannot locate."
It couldn't locate the town I was in! Ridiculous.
Question... Planning a route at home, on my Imac is one thing, but how is it for route changes on the road?
Bought the Rider2 shortly after getting Dirty Grrrl November of 2009.
Found the Garmin cost prohibitive.
With the device connected to your computer, in TomTom Home, you can operate your device and plan routes using coordinates or city centers or actual house numbers.
Find itinerary planning and go from town to town, coordinate to coordinate.
On the fly, tapping the screen as you near your destination will pop up your next stop in the itinerary, select it and keep on rolling.
Takes a little practice, like anything, to get familiar with how it works.
Happy with my TomTom. It's basic and that is perfect!
