BoomerCPO Posted December 22, 2008 Share #3 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) I have one and it is a large unit. I put it in my truck and it performs great. Bought mine off E-bay for $125. Took less than 5 minutes to set up right out of the box. Very user-friendly! None of these GPS units like really cold temps so I keep mine in the house....once the truck is warmed up I just plug in the unit and go. Note: the SP 2720 comes with a bean bag mount for vehicles. You will have to purchase a Ram Mount to put this on your scoot. Edited December 22, 2008 by BoomerCPO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahco1956 Posted December 22, 2008 Share #4 Posted December 22, 2008 I got mine when they first came out and have over 20,000 care free miles on it. I use the beanbag in whatever car/truck I'm driving and I have it wired into the bike with a ram mount on my left mirror. I would recommend it highly.

Sideoftheroad Posted December 23, 2008 Share #7 Posted December 23, 2008 Color01, How is the display in direct sunlight? I am looking pretty heavily at the Garmin Quest2 as I know someone that has the Quest1, the display is very visable in direct sunlight and overall seems to be a very good unit. I am planning on buying a GPS for my b-day so I have a little while before I purchase which gives me a little bit of time to research and decide. Thanks.

I have no problems with the sunlight ..and I hardwired the unit ....in busy traffic I use the gps audio thru the radio speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
