Enjoy With My New Timex GPS Watch

Almost all bike riders who maintain efficiency details use some type of Polar product- I selected the Timex GPS watch due to the comparatively available protocol, 3D GPS files and lightweight.

Most people don’t think of Motorola as a car GPS maker, but the company’s MotoNav line has been on the market with limited availability. Motorola is making a fresh push into the North American market with the introduction of its 500 and 700 series, one of which has a 5.1 inch widescreen (typical wide screen is 4.3 inches). Motorola uses that screen real estate to offer split screen modes that put information such as street names, traffic updates, and contact lists up at the same time as the street map. Not surprisingly, the MotoNavs are phone-friendly, including Bluetooth wireless connectivity to ease hands-free calling. Motorola also sets itself apart from the crowd with an optional “pro-mount” dash mount that takes the GPS out of the windshield line of sight. Optional MotoExtra 3G connectivity services include traffic, Google local search, and more. The MotoNav TN765T (shown here) sells for $329. Image © Motorola
