And your question is?

1. Can you use one on a trike?

2. Is there one for sale?

Not the best idea - simply because unless you have a nice pod/fairing/cockpit whatever, the screen can prove fairly difficult to see.

Very nice GPS ## ##

Used is on my Aquilla and now on my GT450

Touch screen very nice and easy to use , as Dish said the screen can get difficult to see if you have direct sunlight on it , but hey you don't look at your Gps the hole time when flying ## ##
