New GPS receiver from Garmin...

Just found this and thought that with all the discussions that keep coming up, some people might be interested. It's a tad expensive though...

"It looks like Garmin's set to release another GPS receiver intended to sit on the handlebars of your motorcycle, and like the TomTom Rider, this unit features built-in Bluetooth for streaming spoken directions directly to a compatible helmet. Though not quite as stylish as the Rider, the upcoming Zumo does offer a few innovative features not found on other models, including the ability to calculate how much fuel you have left for automatically re-routing you to the nearest gas station when you start running on fumes. You can also listen to MP3s stored on a memory card and set the unit to act as a datalogger, letting you download route history information to a PC for perusing at your leisure with Google Earth. Sources say that the Zumo will be available for purchase sometime in October, but prepare to spend around $1,000 if you want to take one of these out on the open road."

That will be dear. The Quest is around $US400 and $1100 here, so that'll be pushing $3000. I like the sound of a bluetooth set up though, you could have a complete wireless connection with the Nolan N-Com helmets.
How would it know your fuel consumption to calculate range though?

I'm guessing that the kind of people that would consider buying one of these do a lot of touring... in which case you'd probably get fairly consistant kms per litre... I'm just guessing.
