Garmin has them specifically for cycles. Waterproof I guess.
More expensive though.

Got one for my husband for Christmas and he’s still talking about.

My wife and SiL found a new use for the Garmin she got me for Christmas....

I've got a blonde headed woman that has set next to me for 30+ years. The speech function is fine, although at times it embellishes things and at other times I can't get it to stop giving directions. Sometimes it's pretty “colorful” as well.

Now ... does know where I can find a weather/vibration proof unit for my HAWG? Harley has one with its own mount ... no not going down that road with the blonde woman thing here ... but like all things Harley .. It costs you an arm and a leg Come to think of it, that blonde has cost me an arm and a leg over the years as well .....never mind.

I have that same Navigation model you do...worked fine in the early years, except it kept telling me to turn left when there was no left turn to take...even had a back seat nav unit that echoed the same directions and they were BOTH wrong.

Garmin is the way to go!

I did extensive research and then bought a Garmin. The easiest to use. No regrets. You can buy several models at Walmart. Go to Garmin’s website and check out all their models. I’d recommend the Text-to-Speech feature because upcoming street names are announced.
