answer 4
No - you can pre-program a route and you will get turn-by-turn directino arrows to follow but you won't get a map with route displayed (you need the 705 or 800 model for that).

answer 2
No, that would be a satellite navigation system, as I am sure you are familiar with.This unit uses the same global positioning system (GPS) to track your movements/speed/altitude and record where you have been. There is no capability of entering details like post codes, addresses and riding to them.

Mine came with two mounts. Also six large and six smaller rubber O rings to fix the mount to a bike. The mount needs two O rings to fix to a bike. Plenty spares if you need them.
