Now I'm a bit younger than a lot of you guys so I've pretty much always driven in the Sat Nav age and as such all my cars have had them built in and like robbo I often use it to gauge bends on unfamiliar roads and I find it helps massively.
As for the original question about using one on a motorbike, I've used my phone as a GPS a few times but to be honest I find it much more fun to navigate using the road signs as it adds to the sense of adventure on a ride. For 90% of my 'pleasure' rides i dont even have a destination as such, just a big loop that ends up more or less where I start. Getting lost is all part of the fun and just adds to the sense of accomplishment when you find yourself back in a road you recognise haha
