Thanks.

I mount mine in my inside pocket and just use voice guidance.

I think its safer than peering at a screen.

I'd need to see the screen, I get lost VERY easily.

Any recommendations for a cheap and cheerful sat nav mount?

Have you looked at a tankbag type (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=motorcycle+satnav+bag&_sacat=0&_odkw=motorcycle+satnav+case&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313) or bar bag type (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253 A1%257C72%253A6003&rt=nc&_nkw=motorcycle%20satnav%20mount&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1) or ram mount (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=motorcycle+satnav+ram&_sacat=0&_odkw=motorcycle+satnav+mount&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313) HTH i have tried a mini tank bag but i prefer to use a paper map.








@sk, what satnav in your pocket and how do you hear it?

There's some waterproof ones on ebay at the moment, I can't link as I'm at work, but search for TomTom Start 20 case and it'll pop up. It's bar mounted and supposedly waterproof. I've ordered one (£13) so can let you know what it's like when it turns up.

Figured it's cheaper than a proper RAM mount and plastic bag (which is what my next option would be as I don't always use a tank bag)

I think I've bought the exact same one a few hours ago. It's from China and the cheapest one I could find online.

^ That's the one I bought, but it's a few quid cheaper on Ebay.
