Just saw Tomtom Rider GPS at Amazon for $209.98 Prime free shipping.
That's about what I got rid of sold mine for last year.

I haven't got lost using mine yet.

Hater's gonna hate.

For less than 1/3 the price of the alternative you got a great buy!

 
I have a Garmin 450 on the FJR and a TomTom Rider on my Tenere. The Garmin interface is better to be sure. More intuitive software and more options for data display. I've heard that the Garmin map data base is more detailed, but I've not noticed any issues with the TomTom. If you want a basic device that offers basic functions, then the TomTom will do the job. It is not the GPS you want if you are a serious and competitive LD rider. The TomTom Rider does have a computer based trip planning program, but I have not tried to use it.

For the average rider the TomTom is a great return on investment. At $210 compared to $600-800 you have little to lose.

 
All I wnat is a good gps. Not worried with the bluetooth and all the options, just something to tell me where to go.

 
They do have Bluetooth. The desktop software works fine. They are rugged and waterproof. Best thing going for the money.

If you just need basic gps, you will be perfectly fine.

Been using mine for 2 years all over the USA and Canada and never been lost or let down.

Battery life ain't great. I would expect bike power to be a requirement.

 
I have that particular model and have been using TomTom Riders for the past 10 years. Pairs fine with Sena.

Likely they are selling off current stock for cheap to make way for the newer model...

 
Mine was delivered today but I haven't seen it yet. Called amazon though and the gave me a refund of the difference. Can't go wrong for $149. Might even order a spare.

 
Holy crap at $149 that is a smoking deal!!!! My old Tom Tom 2 is still soldiering on after 70K and all kinds of ****** weather, but I don't know if i can resist this!
