bar10dah Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I've been toying with the idea of selling my EMap. Sure, there are tons of better GPS units on the market today, but when I bought it, it was pretty cool! I had this mounted on my XX and haven't had a need for it since I sold my XX last summer. I still can't believe I've been without a bike since, as I had planned on finding a nice used ST1100. But, that hasn't panned out yet. But don't fret! I still ride! Well, at least I did up until I moved here to Las Vegas a few weeks ago. I was working for an outfit in Whittman, AZ test riding motorcycles. Pretty sweet job. Usually did 400+ miles per 8 hour shift just riding around the Phoenix area and a little beyond. Basically, I was getting paid to do what I used to do every weekend, for free! But I digress... Garmin EMap, with RAM mount, and USB cable. Ebay has several listed right now starting at $20 and going as high as $90, just for the EMap. I'm thinking $50 (plus actual shipping) is a fair price to ask for this. Especially since I think I paid at least that for the RAM mount. Why would you want the EMap when there are clearly other units out on the market that does a lot more and looks a hell of a lot better? Well, hopefully you'll have a need for an inexpensive GPS just to keep your bearings while out riding and that it's easily mountable to your bike. What do I mean by just to keep your bearings? Well, the basemap is all that's installed, which gives you all the major roads. And street level is only available in the larger cities. I know I have more pictures of this EMap mounted on my bike, but I can't seem to find them. This is the only one I found, but it's such a small component in the picture. This shot was taken down some desolate road in New Mexico, when I was on my Iron Butt SS1000. What you're probably noticing after looking at the full size image is that plastic bag around the EMap. It was lightly raining that day, so I ate my sandwich and then put my EMap in the ziplock bag to help keep it from getting wet. No, none of the mustard leaked out of the sandwich, so the EMap is not crusty. Here's a current picture of the EMap. I just took this photo on my kitchen counter. Of course, when I tried to power it up for the photo, the thing beeped at me a few times and shut down. So, included with your order will be two fresh AA batteries! And, something totally unrelated. I came across my old Sony XM-4045 amplifier when I was cleaning out my garage. 4/3/2 channel power amplifier with MOSFET, high pass and low pass filters, 40W x 4 or 80W x 2. I guess the 3 channel setup would be 40W x 2 and 80W x 1. Geez, I don't even know what these go for, so how about $5 plus actual shipping? First replies to this thread takes either items or both. Just let me know what item you want and PM me your shipping address. I'll reply with what the shipping costs will be after I get these things weighed and get your zipcode.

bar10dah Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 JB4XX: Your box is on it's way! I got all the items together and headed out to the post office. I got a large flat rate priority mail box and packed it all in there. I then went to the counter and asked if they would tape my package shut. The girl behind the counter told me, "the post office no longer provides tape." What?! I said, "I'm using a priority mail box, I just need the priority mail tape that goes with it." She again said the post office no longer provides tape, and that I'll have to tape it shut myself! WTF?! So, back home I went, to get some tape. Bastards...
