Aldi Motorcycle GPS

[MonsterDorf]

OK, went for a longer ride today and can advise that the Aldi GPS works just fine.

I didn't bother with the headset as I was riding with ear plugs all day. Interestingly, it actually came up with an info "post it" as I entered some of the bigger towns with info on service stations and shops - quite neat.

Mount is strudy enough not to wobble around even when pushed hard. Bright enough to be seen in all but the worst conditions. Counts down to each turn. It zooms in as you approach the corner and puts a nice big green arrow showing which way to go.

Wasn't perfect, meaning it can't find every address I tried but neither do my other GPSs.

So was it worth the money - so far a definite YES.

Cheers

Some of this Aldi stuff is pretty good value, just bought my young bloke the helmet and jacket as he putts around on his CBR250R, better than some of the stuff out of MCA stores especially a young bloke on a budget.

I thought I'd dig this old thing out rather than starting a new topic.
Seems Aldi have this sale once a year, cause the date is almost the same as the sale they just had.
I mounted up my Go Cruise yesterday, took maybe all of 10-20 minutes with some fiddling about routing cables.

Rode to Newcastle and back with it, performance was great mounting is solid as. No vibrating or difficulty seeing the
screen. I haven't tried the headset as I was listening to music however for the investment I'm pretty happy.

Does it have a route planner? or does it take you the most direct route?

OK replaced my "old" one with a new one that now that has a BlueTooth headset and new maps and software. I think it's even better than the last. One hint download the full manual which lets you configure all the features. Mine now alerts me to find a fuel stop and suggests the closest servo.

Good thing just got better

I bought one of these from Aldi a while back and it never made it anywhere near my bike. Took it out of the box, pressed a few buttons, then back in the box it went. I am pretty sure that I will never use it.

So for anyone interested, it is for sale.

PM me, if interested.

from other places i have read

if you are going from home to somewhere then it works well

if you want to go from home to somewhere via 4 other places then its not real good

Of course that would be the smart thing to do.    Sheer laziness on my part, but I shall succumb to your brilliant suggestion none the less. 

Thanks Mmick.
