    20S Install is a piece of cake.  Spend some time at home around the table with the directions to pair up.  They work awesome even for a short distance on the trail.  Group pairing with multiple other riders is cumbersome at first. You can have an open convo with another rider while on the trail just like you're sitting next to each other in the rig on the way to the parking area to unload.   Last year was not terribly cold so not the ultimate test but on one occasion I forgot to charge mine and was able to go 2 full days streaming music and communicating with the group on the charge from the day before.  Very impressed.

    Great, thanks very much!

    For communication Sena 20S pilot to passenger will be very good  

     

    For GPS there are others that use Zumos  as long as you can load maps you should be good to go. You can pay Trakmaps or try the free Tilou et Biscuit maps. They are both reasonably accurate to keep you on track. 

     

    Also do a lot of us load iMotoneige in our mind erasers. I have definitely used iMotoneige in the trail to make a trail fork decision as a backup to my GPS.  

     

     

    I ordered a couple of HJC CL-MAX 2 helmets. I'm going to have my motorcycle guy install the Sena 20S's..

    Thanks, I love my Wing, its an 01 with 215k miles so far. My Zumo 550 quit so I bought the latest one as of two years ago, 590 I think.The more I think about it,  I probably won't bother with GPS for the time being. Always got around fine as long as the signage was halfway decent

    I've been out for about 15 years, always rode solo.I rode a lot in Quebec, had several back to back 7k mile seasons back in the 90's. I just picked up a 2014 Yamaha RS Venture TF with 738 miles. The wife and I may not get to ride much this year, but I'm hoping this sled will give us many years of service. We ride a Honda Goldwing during the "other" season. The Goldwing has built in intercom, all you have to do is buy headsets for the helmets. We are very used to having this luxury. When I was riding, helmet communication was mediocre at best. I am certain this has improved. I'd like to know what you guys recommend for rider to rider communication, and what would be a good choice of helmets. I believe my snowmobile helmet that is stowed with other gear is a CAT modular. Also from the motorcycle world, I have a Garmin ZUMO GPS. I'm sure this technology has entered the snowmobile world, was wondering if I could make use of it, and how. Thanks very much.
