If you have an iPhone, downloading the TomTom app could be cheaper than getting a GPS... Check if this app has life upgrade, I think it does here in NZ.

Because when you don't get cellular reception, you are SOL. I know. Deep in the Rockies, the phone was useless. Heck, it was useless in the California High Sierras in Sequoia National Park (as was everybody else's phone).
I am toying with getting a GPS since I enjoy solo touring and wandering back roads is a pleasure. I have slightly different concerns than a 220 pound male, however.
Most women riders I know have no desire for this kind of unwanted attention. This video explains what I mean.
If you have cell towers and can get reception on your phone, then that's a great way to go. Out west with the vast expanses of nothing (desirable for motorcycle touring!!), I think a GPS is the way to go.

You're right Elin. I live where there isn't always cell reception. The GPS always works unless you're in a cave. I carry a portable CB in the bag on long trips.
its only important if you want to pic your own roads to route and not auto route. If you favor the back roads it is the way to go.
