Is this for bicycles too? Is the Tomtom Rider for bicycles too?

Dutch cycling websites say that the Rider can be mounted on bicycles, but that it is not marketed for bikes because of problems with routing. In the Netherlands and other north European countries, cyclists can ride against traffic on one-way streets, can take shortcuts through car-free zones, and often have separate routes between cities. There are many motorized-traffic-only bridges, tunnels, etc, with alternate routes for cyclists and pedestrians. TomTom's routing software is designed only for the motorized routes, so cyclists would (and do) find it very annoying. In the U.S., this might not be a problem.

yes, you can plan multiple route points on this GPS. the price of tom tom rider is double the price.dont worry, the suction cup mount work on your bicycle. this is the great product that replace your smart phone as a GPs.

I have not tried it on a bike of any kind and ask my colleagues who have one and they havn't either. It is not GPS oriented, for that you might want the app "map my walk" which also does bikes/stairs etc."

The mini end won't, of course, but the bigger end is standard size so it will fit your computer USB with no problems. I don't have a GPS so I don't know if it'll fit your tomtom

This is pretty much a bike specific device. While you could use it for other purposes, I think it would be a forced application.

The bracket that comes standard with the mount works better for bicycles. We do have a mount for motorcycles. You can purchase the motorcycle mount here: http://www.bike2power.com/bike-mounts-accessories/biconsole-motorcycle-bar-mount.html. Please let us know if you have any other questions.Best regards,JillianBike2Power Customer Care Team

it is not meant for bicycles. It requires a motorcycle battery for operation, and the exposed unit and wires would be easily disarmed anyway

The literature says it uses Tyre for its route planning. Tyre is not Mac compatible. I am not sure if Tom Tom's maps and firmware uploading software is Mac compatible. I use Tyre because its simpler than Basecamp, but its a bummer its not Mac compatible.

I believe all the TomTom mounts are the same, but I am not sure. We have 2 different models, and they both fit both mounts.

I ended up taking back the TomTom when the Garmin 680 became available and am using the Garmin friction pad. That worked great on our long trip, and it sits really well on the console during night driving when there'd be reflection on the windshield.

Check my full review for all the details, but the quick answer is that the two units are fairly equal with each having some options the other doesn't. The Garmin supports (some) voice commands which the TomTom does not. The TomTom has daily map updated through its user community and Red Light Camera alerts that the Zumo does not. You need to look at the full specs for both units and see which one best fits your needs. Full disclosure - I run a Garmin Zumo 660 on my primary motorcycle and the TomTom on the wife's bike.

I got the TomTom 3 yrs ago and it still works well for me. The only reason I got it was the world maps. Compared to today's units, TomTom or Garmin, it's basically an antique. There are so many more features available now, you have to decide on what features are important to you.

Although I never tried to attach the wagon to my bicycle there indeed is an adapter that I used for my scooter that I'm sure would attach to a bike. I might add that I'm really tickled with the wagon. I even make excuses to make trips to the store (and other locations) to use it.

I used mine with a TomTom XXL 540 and the GPS was too heavy for the mount. It shook and vibrated enough that the image was always blurred and hard to see. Then again, what is annoying to me may be acceptible to you. I figured for 10 bucks, what the heck. You can check the weight of your unit versus the XXL540 as I am not familiar with every TomTom model. I hope this helped.

nope no tyre for mac. yes tomtom home and map loading is mac. tyre is third party. it's route planning however only allows you to download the destination, not a route. you may have to insert way points to do that.
