If you’ve ever moved to a new city and found yourself completely lost among the skyscrapers, one-way streets and heavy traffic, it may be time for you to consider investing in a global positioning system – more commonly to referred to as a GPS. When I moved to Seattle a little over a year ago, I felt like I had moved to the other side of the world having grown up on the East coast. I felt turned around, backwards even, and if it wasn’t for the water’s edge my cardinal directions would have been jumbled. Needless to say, I was in dire need of a GPS.

 

After reading multiple consumer reports, defining my basic needs and my budget I was ready to make my purchase. The Garmin NUVI 370 GPS was the model I chose, and boy could it do wonders! Instantly I knew back-road secrets, as if I’d lived there my whole life, that helped me dodge heavily congested traffic areas. My life quickly changed. All I ever needed to journey through the city was the address of where I was headed – no directions required.

Never Get Lost On Your Motorcycle

Websites like MapQuest and Google Maps are very popular and convenient for finding directions to one location. You can even print them out to refer to while in your car. Before I got my first GPS system, I mastered how to drive while glancing at my directions every so often. It can be done, but having my GPS with me is much more convenient!

 

If you ride a motorcycle, referring to printed directions is not even an option. Any piece of paper you tried to hold would fly away in about two seconds. A motorcycle GPS mount is the best choice for any motorcycle rider because the GPS is sturdily attached to the bike. Look for a model that has tough, weather-proof casing, an anti-glare screen, and a touch screen that can work with a gloved hand. An extra cool system can transmit spoken instructions to you using a built-in Bluetooth audio system, via a headset that fits in your helmet
