Garmin Zumo XT2 Call it Sat Nav or GPS, Garmin lead the way. The importer is having another sale. As usual we have trialled, tested and torn our hair out getting to grips with Garmin Zumo XT2. While it's not perfect it is the best available 'get lost box' out there. Use it hiking or in the car too if you wish. One regular criticism is that these should come with a protective pouch. As we do, we fixed that, designing and making our own. We add a free Andy Strapz Garmin XT2 pouch with every unit bought. Here's the Garmin blurb The zumo® XT2 rugged motorcycle navigator is built for adventure with a larger and brighter 6” sunlight-readable display that is built to withstand weather and handlebar vibrations.
