    Re: Welcome to GPS

    For those looking to add Nexrad weather radar overlay via XM WXWorks, the Garmin GPSMAPS 378 & 478 have come out since the 376C.

    The 376C had issues with screen top layer cracking and the contrast between roads and terrain was poor.

    About $1050 for a GPSMAPS378/478 unit and GXM30 antenna to receive Nexrad. Another $30 per month for XM subscription for the satellite feed of the Nexrad.

    I have a Garmin for the car. my droid has it too. I've never tried using one on my bike.

    1). Can you hear the GPS unit on the bike? Do you have to use an earbud?
    2). Isn't the power cord a hassle?
    3). Can you use one to stay on two laners?
    4). Note; they get real confused in the city when you have parallel surface roads and tunnels.

    The Droid is the best because it is constantly and automatically updated.
    Free traffic avoidence too.
    I use a earbud for long trips. Around town you can just look at the pics.
    You can look a few lines ahead when you are stopped at a light.


    I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
    It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
    But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly
