Twatnav

[Kenbob]

don't know if this has been covered before but if it has, meh!
Which twatnav do you use on your bikes, looking to get one for the fazer but can't decide.
Real world opinion is better than sales blurb methinks.

I've used the Tom Tom rider 2 for years. Never had any trouble with it, no reason to believe that the newer version would be any different.

I use Navmii on my phone. Simple and free but unless you have a power supply don't bother with it. It eats your battery up within 120 miles.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING

Proper road map book - research before I go - write road numbers, directions and place names on a piece of paper - store under clear pocket of tankbag - go.

I use a TomTom XL2 that I got for the car several years ago and put it in one of those waterproof holder things for mounting on a motorbike. (Off Ebay). Not as easy to use as a proper motorbike one but a lot cheaper and does what I need. A mate has a later car type TomTom and seems to have a few problems with it sometimes.
Mounted mine on a bracket above the clocks on my boxeye 600.

For a touch of luxury I added this sun shield made out of a plastic container that had previously held some soap capsule things for the washing machine.

Picked up a Garmin Zumo 340LM from Aldi last year for £160. Stops my wife getting lost, but also picked up a spare mount off ebay for my bike for £25. Does the job fine for a basic no frills satnav, got EU maps for lifetime. BaseCamp soft isn't too bad for laying down routes, though has a bit of a learning curve. Just a bit of a bummer you'll need to until until that special few days of the year when Aldi next get one back in stock...

I've used the Tom Tom rider 2 for years.

Likewise. It's simple and does the job.

Using the exact same unit & case as Limax but mounted between bar clamps.

Zumo 550 as well, had it a good few years now and never had any problems.

I've still got my TomTom Rider 2 as well. Had to replace the battery recently, and broke two of the lugs putting it back together. Assuming it won't need to come apart again, I Araldited it (badly) back together round the seal. For some reason it's now known as 'SnotNav' 

[slimwilly]

My mobile phone, any app, Google maps etc, blue tooth headset, brilliant, on screen in bar mount off eBay cheap..cigerette 'lighter power supply, sub adaptor to phone

[reggit]

Used a zumo 550 for years - it's died now :-(  not rushing to get a new one though as my trips have been somewhat curtailed by kids :-(.


Would definitely get another though when I get more freedom again!

[fazerscotty]

Garmin Zumo, hardwired in - connects to the headset. Saves stopping to look at maps or trying to remember where your going!

[locksmith]

I'm with you scotty, bluetooth connection to the helmet, get spoken directions, speed camera warnings, music and phone if you want it!!!
