From what I hear on a lot of forums, the built in GPS on the Rincon is not worth it. I did not even consider the option. I have a Garmin Vista that works great, is easy to use and has many applications and uses. I highly recommend a portable GPS to mount on your handlebars. I would also recommend getting the cigarette adapter for any portable GPS.
Factory GPS unit
Has anyone installed or have had installed the now available factory GPS unit on their Rincon? When I bought mine I lacked the patience to wait for one to come in with a GPS unit already installed. For the past 3 weeks I’ve been hounding the dealership were I bought mine about cost and they keep telling me Honda Canada haven’t got back to them yet. Any info regarding cost and availability of a GPS unit would be appreciated.

Don't waste your time or money. Buy a real GPS from Garmin and you'll be MUCH happier. I suggest the GPSMap 76S, which you can get for approx $310 from www.tvnav.com (no affiliation, but I've bought all my stuff from him).

I just got the Garmin eTrex Legend and am real happy with it. It's small & light, and has a lot of neat features like "breadcrumbs" which will take you back to your truck! It also has 8 MB of memory if you want to download additional data, and a cities map system built in.
What does anyone think of the Garmin Rino 120? I have read some good things about it but am still weary as I am older and cannot see good enough to read anymore without glasses and don't wear glasses when I ride. Any suggestions would be good, but the Rino seems like a good choice of GPS and radio.
I don't care for the Rhino for several reasons...
- Small display, so hard to read
- Limited memory for map downloads
- "Transponder Mode" (for lack of a better term) only works in half-watt FRS mode
Check out Garmin's new 60CS due in January.. it's basically a color version of the GPSMap 76S with more than double the memory (56 meg), and it's USB too.
