Evening,

Just been doing a bit of searching for a satnav for rides, TomTom do a Rider version which is nice but doesnt do Traffic updates. So i was looking at the TomTom ONE Europe 22 Traffic (http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=492&Category=0&Lid=1) (http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=492&Category=0&Lid=1)

And started looking to see if there are waterproof cases available... came across this:

Anyone seen/used/bought one of these before?
Tempted to get it, but just wandered what/how to mount it on the SV? ( I have a pointy k6 Sport)

Any ideas?

Looks good,

It is a Ram mount unit, so get a handle bar mount, appropriate length arm and Bob's your Uncle!

The TomTom Rider 2 does traffic updates.

Thats true, but it does it though your mobile phone over the internet...
The TomTom Traffic series do it themselves at no extra onwawrd cost (The cost is taken from you when you buy the unit!)

i got the Ram mount on mine for my sat nav. Looked at the Aqua Box but just wrap mine in a sandwich bag and it does the job even in heavy rain :p

Sounds stupid but i know theres a difference between RAM and Handlebar mount... but what is the difference in terms of what i need to buy/Fix to the bike?!?
