PC Magazine have published a review of the TomTom Rider portable GPS navigation system that comes equipped with mountings to fit most motorcycles and scooters. ‘One of the biggest challenges of developing a motorcycle GPS is how to mount the device securely, since a suction cup or a beanbag mount certainly won't do the trick. TomTom partnered with Ram Mount to produce a mounting kit specifically for the Rider 2, which works with most bikes. While the assembly procedure does take longer than sticking a suction cup to your car's windshield, it took me only about 10 minutes to set up a bike. The mounting kit employs a U-bolt to attach a bracket securely to the handlebar. The Rider 2 snaps into the mounting bracket with a reassuringly solid click and is easy to remove using the release bar.’
