Cheers Pitt, that does fill me with confidence and definately intend on loading up with biker routes beforehand. That was a concern as I guessed the sat nav on route would go for motorway type roads.

It does look and feel like a good piece of kit, i'm just busting to get over there now but need to curb it as there's 6 mths to go LOL!!  :rolleyes

I do take maps as a fallback , just in case !  I  also wonder if a modern phone with sat nav app would be a good emergency substitute too,and worth taking.
 
The other thing the zumo can do if its your bag, is store music on a SD card, so you can listen to music as you ride.
I think its a good idea for long motorway stretches, but have not found  a decent helmet speaker system yet to avoid wind noise drowning out the sound at 70 plus.At lower speeds , like in towns, mountains etc, I dont like the distraction !

Autocom system with helmet speakers and wearing ear plugs works for me

I have a Medion GoPal for the car with a 5" screen which just fits in the £20 Givi waterproof handlebar mounted zip up bag
 
The Medion does 44 countries and has brillainat graphics for £150 or so so I can see where I am going or plug headphones/bluetooth in for sound and MP3 playing
 
Just sorting out my 12v socket On my FZS6 with the battery under the seat it was easy to do. With the FZ6S2 with the battery under the tabk it will take me a little longer to sort- well thats what the winter weekend are for isnt it?
