Garmin on the RX3...The Chinariders way!

BB, I tried using a Nuvi (car GPS) on a previous motorcycle with bad results. After getting caught in a frog strangler rain storm the screen itself took on water and stopped working. I had the unit in a zip lock bag but evidently there was still enough moisture in the air to partially kill the screen. The good news was that the Nuvi was inexpensive and thus not a big loss. Now I use a much more expensive Garmin and swap it from bike to bike. Recently I saw that someone in China is selling a motorcycle specific GPS for about $100. That might be worth looking into.
