Cost-effective GPS options...

... I can see the corner ahead of time (a good 500 to 1km) and it helps with my judgement for speed ...

I do it too, but I've learnt to be damn cautious ... just remember the GPS map is typically only 'representational' and reality somewhat different ... then there's all the other variables ( diesel, roadkill, camber, cage drivers/trucks, the biker coming the other way without a GPS !! )

I don't rely on it, I just use it as 'one of' my tools to help me, other tools being road signs, my sighting the corner and judgement etc...

in real tight twisties I don't look at the GPS at all and only my skill of judging the corner... but in glances looking at speed etc the GPS has helped

I mount a Garmin legend c on the busa, Is ok for navagation and gives you a real speed ( the buse is 7kph out at 100kph)and distance travelled, average speed ETC.
Just another fun accessory like the V one.

Pretty cool for long trips completly waterproof.

On my Honda when the Garmin GPSmap76C is recording 100kph the bike's speedo will be up at least +105kph. When I'm keeping a sharp eye on pace I use the GPS ... besides the display, and its position makes it easier to glance/read.
Thought ... for the soles who think they've reached nnn kph, but only 'cause they rely upon their wonky speedos. There's a likelihood the margin of error increases exponentially. Wonder if that's why some reprimanded speedsters think they got off 'lightly' ie perhaps their speedos were reporting a higher penalty than the lasers/speed cameras (or whatever) actually measure.

Yep ! Doing same. Just another ( handy ) input to add to all the other 'scanning' goin' on.
