My GPS Died 3 Months ago  
My old TomTom 720 GPS died. I need suggestions on a new one. I'd like to input more than one (travel via) the TomTom would only accept one. Of course it would have to be motorcycle friendly (vibrations).

So what are my Road Star folks using? Don't need a do everything GPS, just get me there. Also don't want to use my phone, it fits in my pocket where it belongs

Don't need it to get to Celina M&G, R* knows it's way by now

My Tom Tom (over 5 years old) supports "travel via" or multiple way points. I like the Tom Tom because of its route and recalc speed.

I use my iPhone in an otter box protecter. It's held by a ram mount X type phone holder clamped to the handlebar. It can be plugged into an aftermarket USB port. Then I have music, navigation and a lot more either through the stereo or earbuds.

The zumo line from Garmin are made for motorcycles, but are expensive.
