New TomTom Rider GPS for Street Bikes

In April of this year, TomTom will release a new version of its Rider GPS receiver for street motorcycles. This GPSr has a lot of nice features, and it costs much less than the Garmin, Zumo GPS receivers.

You can choose a 'twisty roads' route using the TomTom Rider.

That beats "shortest route" when you're on bike.

I want a TomTom just for the voices! You can select Bert & Ernie, Darth Vader, Yoda and more.

I hope I can have Samuel Jackson yelling at me. I'd waste a lot less time.

I suggest you visit the TomTom Voices Shop.

http://www.tomtom.com/en_us/shop/voices/

You can select Yosemite Sam, Wallace and Gromit, Mister T, Homer Simpson, and many others to direct you to your destination. I pity the fool who doesn't take advantage of this selection!

I would like to hear Agent Smith from The Matrix.
