I have a Medion satnav that runs off battery and has bike related connections as well with headphone output and bike setting , managed to bag it off ebay for £40 . Flatter than a packet of ciggies as well :)

This is what I suggested to Kev: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAT-NAV-MOUNT-...1%7C240%3A1318

The guy hasn't got one up for the CBR600F at the mo, but more than likely he'll be able to do one if you contact him...if you do find out, let me know, as if I get a satnav (I do want one for longer rides!) I'll need a bar for both the CBR and the GSX-R...

Or perhaps I can just steal yours.... :p

Lol, I didn't think it was that much of an eyesore ;) and you need it to get home "after" getting lost! :D (at least - that's what I want to use it for haha, oh and also to try and spot nice looking roads as I'm riding around the area)

Use it to guide you through London to meet the soho lot one Friday, that'll be a good test, one way street, road work and all.
