Love it. Only thing I would improve is the daytime brightness and non-glare display.

Great product, great price. Tiger GPS was $100 less than a bike shop on Tom Tom. I gnerally use it to plot the best route home after a day of cruising. It's amazing how detailed the maps are! I've ridden through soaking rain and no problems. The earbud is a little hard to keep in while riding but the sound is very clear. The helmet earphone is not as loud for some reason and the helmet mike distorts my voice (so I'm told by those I call on the cell phone) A little relocation of the mike may help.It took a little configuration to get the TomTom and my Motorola Bluetooth to coexist happily on the phone but now all is ok. The cord length on both the headset setups could be a little longer. I'd like to clip the Bluetooth to my belt as I often wear a shirt with no pocket to clip it to.

The bluetooth that came with the "rider" is the only one that works with this unit. I've tried several bluetooth ear piecses...none will work. Haveing the wires dangeling to the ear piece is dangerous...therefore I don't get the enjoyment that a $ 700.00 unit shood offer. I could have gotten a much cheaper unit to work better than this one.
