"Look elsewhere - not a good device"
Pros: Does an OK job on the occasion that it works.
Cons: Dies randomly and often.
Summary: I have owned the TomTom Rider for almost a year. I have a dock on the handlebars of my Harley that is hooked into the charging system. In the time I have owned the device I have taken several trips with it as my guide and I have been stranded every time.
I am on my second docking unit and it charges very intermittantly and will deplete the battery while on the dock. My biggest beef however are the random lock-ups. It is very tempermental and will lock up in either the on or off mode. You must use a small paperclip to un-lock it. Sometimes that doesn't work and you have to hook it up to ac power (difficult when you are 20 miles south of Cripple Creek, CO.)
Other complaints; it doesn't give you the city names on the navigation display, It doesn't tell you which side of the street the address is on, the power button is very difficult to press.
I would rate the TomTom rider as buy at your own risk!
