If you are looking for turn by turn directions then you will be disappointed. The GPS and map will pinpoint your pinpoint your position on a very high level map. It will tell you town to town.

I ride a motorcycle also, no turn by turn with the watch (Garmin fenix), I suggestion something like the Garmin nuvi 2455 it has audible turn by turn that you can pipe to motorcycle headset (not for music or cell phones), gives you safe hands free and you don't have to try and look at a GPS screen when you are riding. I think the watch is great for hiking, trip auditing and location bearings but not for turn by turn navigation. Hope this helped.

For the same money you could get a Nuviz helmet. It has gps in to the visor through a hud

I've never owned a GPS before. Is this a good one? Is it better to buy one with lifetime traffic updates included?

I'm using it right now to answer you. I use it while on the road, works great

no gps, it does have the ability to use wifi to determine your location with occasional accuracy. I sometimes use my phone as a hotspot and this works to a degree but, its nothing that could be used for navigation. at less than $300 (64gb) at Lenovo right now, its still a bargain imho.

Anyone who has purchased this: Can you please tell me how the software is? Does it glitch? Is it slow or fast? How does the navigation work? Is it completely different then Google Maps?

Depending on where you are, it sometimes takes a really long time to get its gps feed. I don't know if that is a problem with this device or if the signals are just too weak on some places. But I have used it for bike rides, hikes, skiing, running, and mud runs. When it gets a sattelite feed it works great.

No problem. It is a good GPS. I got it because I tow a 5th wheel with a Volvo semi and it gives me all of the routes for truckers. My rig is 13.5 feet tall so I have to watch the low bridges.

I have just played with it locally. It will plan from current location to where ever you want to go. We will be road tripping in our RV in Feb and will give it a side by side test with our older Garmin. ROGER

It performs quite well. Like any GPS, it needs to get the signal. It does not rely on WiFi connections to obtain positioning data. I have read where it adds to the battery drain. However so does use of flash and LCD brightness settings depending on how often you use them. That said, I use selectively use GPS when I'm in unfamiliar territory as it helps me recollect that special spot, especially when no landmark features are prominent. Sometimes a little slow or even non-functional when inside structures which is to be expected.

Hi Kirk, I have this 60CX, the version without the electronic compass (which can be a battery drain). The past two years, I've used it primarily in the car. I am pleased with it's performance in the car (and some on a motorcycle) and it gets me to unfamiliar places accurately here in the Houston area. The unit is surprisingly faster in satelite acquistion and route calculation than others that I have used. It won't talk to you. It beeps and flashes information on upcoming turns. That being said, I had to purchase the city navigator software from Garmin and 2 gb micro sd to do the detailed maps that the pre-loaded map that comes with the unit just won't do. The most recent city navigator retails for around $140. 2 gb cards are inexpensive. I've not had to use it for hiking or sailing. From what I've read, others have found it great for those applications. I have used it to go running and my experience is that you must hold it steady to calculate your pace accurately. This thing is extremely portable. It can fit in your pocket in a pinch. I believe this and the 76 series are the best all around gps-s. Good Luck!

You can chose to use Hwy or avoid certain road types. It will not navigate you on unverified roads. I'd highly recommend a paper map along with any GPS for that worse case scenario.

I've used mine outdoor and the GPS is disabled. Still worked (I was within WiFi connectivity for cloud syncing).

I'm not sure. I mean, wherever I was, I was able to zoom out and see a map, but not the best map I guess. I used it in the middle of nowhere in Oregon though. It always got me where I needed to go, it just didn't always tell me where exactly I was, if that makes sense. I.e., it directed me from point A to point B, but if I wanted to know what town I was in, or on what road, that information wasn't always on the screen. Hope that helps!

Yes. GPS works very well. I've used it while traveling in new york and was able to get directions.
