I run a tom tom 1 on my ST Honda, but only use it to zero in on stuff like motels or specific addresses, otherwise Im a paper map guy...mostly AAA cause they 're free.

I love my Garmin Zumo 660. It's rugged, fairly easy to use and what I like best is the routes feature. Allows me to build routes on MapQuest and transfer them to the Zumo. It wil connect to my Cardio G4 and play music or recieve and make calls.
Try it ---- you'll like it.

I can use my Bicycle one Garmin Edge 800
or iPhone 5 with this mount [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009HRV9N4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009HRV...UTF8&psc=1
although I tend to go where the road takes me on the CB1100, explore new roads all the time.
