You need 1 to return first.

Would that be a broken one to exchange for a refurbished (NOH) one which someone else had returned because it was broken.

Best thing to do is contact them yourself if you are interested, they are very helpful

This used to be a major differentiator between Garmin and Tomtom. I hear from the forums that Tomtom have improved their service nowadays.

Its Garmin's integration with the bike that makes it interesting.

I'm guessing this feature is exclusive to the Nav VI, since I haven't seen anything like it on my Nav V.


Not sure if it would be of any use or interest to me, but it is interesting to know that the Navigator can monitor such things as front / rear brake applications - I wonder how it does that .....

It interrogates the various bike system modules that record this data. Thats the beauty of the Nav VI integration with the bike.

So when I throw my RT down the road, I can show everyone what great lean angle I achieved!  :))

I'm fairly sure it's on my Nav V. Although I haven't bothered to look since changing from a GS.
