It would help a little, but realistically, starting over would be the way to go. Paint decisions look like they were made by a committee that never met. Link to comment

elkroeger Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 ...It would be better if he'd painted the back rim... Hmmm.... Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with that. Another red rim isn't gonna solve any problems there. Link to comment

I don't know whether you can install Open Street Map maps on it. Also, the mount relies on a very small tab that's kind of fragile. But hey, it's a motorcycle GPS for $20! Link to comment

That's a heck of deal for $20. You can force just about any map that you can get your hands on, on to that device (within size limit). I'll just leave it at that. Link to comment

szurszewski Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) A google search for the image shows it's been used in several ads in various parts of the country, but none seem to be active. A google search of the text shows it was used in ads on MOA and IBMWR - neither of those ads seem to be active any longer either. I'm guessing those two were real ads and the CL ad you found along with the cycletrader ads around the country were scams. edit to ad: think the price is just lazy copy of the model?

elkroeger Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm curious - how, exactly, do you google that ad's image and text? Link to comment
joeyjamb Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) In chrome you can right-click the picture and there is an option to search the image: Google Image Search Edited August 12, 2017 by joeyjamb Link to comment
lkraus Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 In chrome you can right-click the picture and there is an option to search the image: Google Image Search That's the way I do it, because Chrome is my default browser, which simplifies the search. In most any browser, a right-click on an image will offer an option to Copy the image. Once you have the image copied, go to www.google.com, and paste. Even though the main Google search may not find the picture, it will offer the "search by image" option. This may not be the most efficient method, but is the easiest to remember, without using Chrome. Link to comment
szurszewski Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm curious - how, exactly, do you google that ad's image and text? Yep - what they said - right clicked the image and searched via chrome; highlited the first sentence and right clicked it as well (actually ctrl clicked them as I was in my mac). Other than the very low price, the ad only having one pic and no visible contact info were flags. Link to comment
