Do you have figures to back up your claims on the reliability issue?
No, just a lot of anecdotal evidence from members of my bike club who own Garmin units. Garmin's fixed price repair service is ... |

| I had similar problems with mine before I got a refund. To get it switched on the procedure (if I remember correctly) is to press the recessed reset button for a few seconds then press and hold the po ... |

I concede that the 2610 doesn't have the bluetooth, phone integration and internal battery of the Rider, but it is much more reliable and has greatly superior backup.
The Zumo is more of a feature ... |

| Don't do it. For that money you can get a Garmin 2610 brand new complete with RAM mounts. It should also come with a free upgrade to the next version of mapsource. Garmin support and TomTom support ar ... |

The Rider also fits RAM mounts
Not strictly true. The Rider can be hacked to fit a RAM mount. The RAM diamond ball will fit the back of the Rider mount, but only two screws will fit rather than four ... |

Take the money! Read this forum and you will see that this will be the first of many problems you may/will have with the unit.
IMHO the Rider was too flawed for me to live with for the 3 years tha ... |

| Hmmm.... A lesson in reading a website before you post. I just looked at Garmin's website and it has been updated. It now confirms that the Zumo can talk to a bluetooth headset / helmet as well as ... |

| I really wanted the Rider to work - and when it did it was superb, but in 6 years of Garmin ownership I never had a single lockup or crash. OK I didn't have bluetooth or anything fancy like that, but ... |

I'm taking my TomTom Rider back today for a refund. It is just too flawed for me to want to stick with it.
The unit has locked up several times on the splash screen running 6.1 software so it has ... |
