[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 15214, member: 38"] I took a TomTom rider one to Australia, first time I had used one. It had a couple of issues; like if you hit a bump it would disconnect and have to start up again, drove me nuts, but once I learned that it would be back in a minute or two all was OK. I subsequently talked with them and got the software upgraded, and that problem went away; next is that there is an inherent weakness in the mount, I have grazed it a couple of times and damaged it. The TomTom Rider 2 has a very much more substantial mount but they are not interchangeable. Like others I don't bother with the Audio, I find the screen quite enough, even through Melbourne on a Friday afternoon rush hour. Besides I got tired of that prissy little voice saying "Please make a U turn" "Please make a U turn" "Please make a U turn" . It recalculates very quickly and is good for finding hotels etc. I have a Euro map that is a year or two old and plan on using it Aug Sept on an extended Woolly Euro tour! Now and then I have found out that I am on a road that doesn't exist, and now and then I have thought I was smarter than it, usually to my embarassment. I find it most useful when getting up in the morning and trying to remember through the previous evenings haze, which way is the hell out of town! I didn't need it crossing the Nulurbor. [/QUOTE]
