Sat Navs on bikes

[Phil]

I use this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-GPS-SAT-NAV-...4d05abf652

I've got a similar holder to that from Hein Gericke.

I attached it to one like this

On my XJR1300 in the rain the holder leaked a bit and the window streamed up a bit. Its better on the Fazer8 because of the fairing. When the sun is shining from behind its a bit difficult to se the screen. The 4.3" screen Garmin Nuvi lasted 4 hours on the battery. When I went to Romania I bought a new one with more EE maps on it. It has a 5" widescreen and the battery only lasts 1 1/2 hours. It also has a press button on/off switch which has managed to turn itself on in my tank bag when not in use. The older one has a sliding switch which is better. I've since bought a connector to wire it up to the battery but haven't fitted it yet.


I only use it when I take a wrong turning and get lost (so hardly ever), know there is a town to get around and to find a pre-booked hotel. Its very useful to find petrol stations/hotels etc in areas I don't know.

Mainly I use a laminated map in the tank bag map holder.
