Hi all -
Another GPS to sell! This is the first GPS I installed on a motorcycle, and it worked great for years. This is a non-routing GPS; but it does store street maps. What I used it for was an accurate speedometer, seeing the curve of the road in front of me in the dark, and also to keep a track/breadcrumb of all my rides. Here is a pic of the unit:

Here is a detailed review (http://gpsinformation.net/main/emaprevue.htm) of the eMap. It runs on 2 AA batteries, and can go for about 12 - 13 hours straight on a new set of batteries. If you use the backlight extensively, that cuts the time down a bit.
I have a RAM cradle for the eMap that I will throw in; I don't have an extra U-mount or short-arm. Here's a link (http://www.cycoactive.com/ram/ramemap.shtml) that describes the full RAM system for the emap. The cradle is the $12 portion.
I will include a copy of Metroguide USA v. 4.02, which has detailed street maps for the entire USA + parts of Canada. I will also include the serial cable that connects the GPS to a computer so the maps can be downloaded and the tracks from the GPS can be loaded back to the computer.
Below is an example of what I was able to do with the eMap. This is a track of all the motorcycling roads I was on with the Bandit and the ZX-12R right up until I got a color Garmin GPS just last year.
Pricing: Looking at eBay right now, functional eMaps without software are going for $50 - $75; I'm throwing in a copy of Metroguide (worth $40 on eBay), along with the serial cable, and RAM cradle, for the grand total of $75. Now you have no excuse to not have a GPS on a bike! :)
