i use a mio digiwalker. i paid around 30 sovs for it from ebay which is about the going rate, i load up where i want to go, put it in my pocket and feed an ear piece through my jacket and listen to the instructions. cheap, effective and waterproof when in a plastic bag. i can't figure why people pay hundreds and festoon bikes with ugly mounting fixings which necessitate taking eyes off the road when this solution is available.
i also use it in my work van and mrs uses it when cycling places too.
down sides? it can sometimes take a few minutes to find where it is. it isn't a full postcode search, part postcode and then road name are required. the supplied ear piece was very uncomfortable so i bought a decent in-ear headphone set.
is it clean enough?
