I've been riding with some BMW guys lately and they have a BMW GPS made by Garmin that has a Curvy Roads mode for motorcycles. It seems to work pretty well too. So after a little googling I find that Garmin has a line of GPS' called Zumo for motorcycles that have this feature...great! Except for one thing, they START at $350 and quickly go up from there.
Now I don't consider myself a cheapskate but I'll be darned if I'm going to spend $600 for a GPS so I've been looking for alternatives.
Waze has a Motorcycle mode but in briefly trying it I really haven't seen a difference. I also just discovered that an app I already had but never quite figured out, Scenic has added a curvy roads mode so I plan to try it out.
But I wanted to get input from you folks. Has anybody found anything along these lines? Other than the inevitable "I don't use them fancy geeperessers, I jest use paper maps!"
