GPS on a Scooter?
Jul 29th, 2010 by Leo
There’s probably no better way to get around Manhattan on a warm day than on a scooter. A motorcycle is fine, but more work, and most don’t have the storage (and small traffic squeezing size) of scoot. And if you need extra storage you can strap a backpack onto the front and still have enough room for your feet. I always use an extra (blue) bungee (you can sorta’ see in the picture) in case the backpack strap fails somehow. It’s a good place for electronics because the bag lessens the vibration and bumps; as well as for things you want ready access to (like my camera). It’s also a good place to stick a car GPS (when it’s not raining).
Most scooter riders don’t need a GPS, but some of the streets around the Village are tricky… And it’s been a while since I’ve been to Cornelia street, and I knew I’d only have a few minutes to get there from Houston. So I plug in the GPS, and listen for the turn by turn directions while looking down at stop lights to see the name of the street I’m turning on to. Passenger helmet under the seat, and even room for a passenger jacket up front. Not bad.
