What is its IPX rating? How shock-proof is it? Price? Questions
that need answering before it can compete against existing products on
the market.

Still prefer my 2610. It connects to the Autocom intercom/audio system
already on the bike and works in the car as well.

I can't stand that pseudo-3D display on the TT products either.

Looks great, main questions remaining:

- How long can the unit survive the natural vibes of a KTM LC4
large single stroke engine? Don't laugh, if you ever owned a
bike with one of those engines, you'd know it destroys almost
anything, just a matter of time...

- How well/up-to-date are the maps concerning European coverage,
as detailed as Garmin mapsource?

- Is the PC software available for *Linux*? This would be a real
reason for me to switch from Garmin (GPS II+/GPS V) units,
which work really great, but I'd get one of those soon if the
software runs on Linux natively.
