GPS are pretty kool but you will need a mount for your bars it needs to be in direct view of the sky to work and as far as top speed there ok not realy that accurate I have been clocked at 70mphs walking across the back yard before :rolleyes:

If ya need a hand finding the mount let me know:) you can see my mount here well not realy a great pic of it but it works mint.

GPS is a global positioning system. It tracks satillights and gives you all sorts of info. like position speed direction maps and a ton of other useful and non-useful but cool stuff too.

[tom400ex]

you can walk 70 mph!!!!!! lol
the other day i was driving and my speedo and the gps where like 1mph different. so its seems pretty accurate. I think there is ways to callabrate it too if its really off. I have'nt got throught the manual yet. I HATE READING MANUALS
:D
thanks for the mounting info i've been searching for it. how do the mounts hold up are they secure?

[Doibugu2]

Do a search, there was a real good thread about this awhile back. A couple people posted pics and stuff and how to mount it good.

i have hered things about the mounts tho that involve vibrations shutting off or kiling the batteries fast.

Oh my dad has/had (accident) one of those in his truck. It has the map and stuff.
