"-Should have a trip computer with trip parameters such as max speed, average moving speed, time moving, time sitting still, odometer, trip odometer..." br / br /Apparently this consumer didn't look at the instruction book. All of this exists on the Tomtom Rider 2.

This is a good GPS for it's year. They have come out with one that is better and has more features as usually happens with electronics. Had to make a bracket to fit my bike,a HD. Sometimes it gets confused and will send me in the wrong direction, but i've heard of other GPS's doing the same thing...I like that I can put this on my bike or in the car.

I bought a Tomtom Rider 2 at the end of May. It took a week and a half to receive it after they sat on my money for a week. I had the unit for less than 48 hours before it died. It left me stranded in a strange city. When I finally got to my destination, the screen had gone blank and I could not boot it up. I called Tomtom Support and they told me to do a hard boot. I did this with no success. They then told me to charge it for at least 4 hours. I did this and still no screen. They finally gave me a RMA and had me send it back. Because I was on vacation, I did not have a chance to send it back right away. If I knew then what I know now I would have sent that unit back for a refund right away. You only have 14 days to send it back. br /After about three weeks after I had sent it back, I received a new one in the mail. It was missing the SIM card, I waited another week to get that. I finally had it back only to have it do the same thing. This time it not only did it die, but it told me to turn into a ditch before it died. It had me going down roads that I know would not take me to where I wanted to go. The bluetooth also died before the screen went. It is a total failed unit. I called them and told them that I just wanted my money back. They told me that that was not possible because I had not sent it in within the 14 days refund period. I told them that I had done everything they said to do, but that doesn't seem to matter. I am so frustrated with Tomtom. For the money that I spent on this, I should not have to be sending it back time and time again. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! If you do, just remember that you only have 14 days to return it if it is not working.

The TomTom Rider 2 is too expensive, but essentially a good product. br /- Screen is visible in sunshine br /- Menus are easily accessible, you don't need to study the manual to work the box br /- Navigation quality is good br /- RAM mount works fine (Ducati 1098 - mount on steering damper) br / br /The only negative is the price. In terms of value for money, this is not the product you'd be looking for. Yes, RAM mount works fine on all bikes, but there is nothing magic about it. Yes, the navigation quality is good, and the screen is well visible. But again, is that worth 500 bucks? br / br /I suppose it's a niche market and that makes it worth it.
