GPS for Car and Sv
 
I'm looking for a Sat Nav unit for my car that I can also use on the bike. I have no idea what I need or what unit to buy so all/any advice is welcome.

Navman do a neat small one that would fit in a map pocket and telss you where speed cameras are . It shows the map in 3d so you can look ahead. It is called the icn520...mate has one and it works very well. Software preloaded on it and is ready to go.....checkout navman.co.uk

I do like that the Garmin is water resistant. Will have to check up on the Navman

I just have all mine on an XDAII pda with TomTom 5, plus external bluetooth GPS.

Its also my phone as well. I used it for my trip to Portugal and back and worked fine. I have a power socket on the bike to keep it powered. I dont bother mounting it, i kept it in the top of my tank bag.

My mates just got the navman 510 and uses it on his Fazer 1000 and in his car! Brilliant....

he sits it in the top of the Bagalux Bagster tank bank (u have to have a clear path between GPS reciever and sky) and then plugs his earphones in so he doesn't have to look at it when riding! It works well and he has even fitted a 12V power outlet onto his bike so that he can plug it straight in. No wires hanging out all need a tidy. The best bit is the 12V plug you can attach to the Bagster tank bank and then the sat nav plugs into the bag...pure genius!

I will probably be investing in one next summer!

If you want (if your a bit of techy geek like me) you can flash the Navman so that its boots to windows CE instead and then you can use it as a PDA aswell or install Tom Tom on it....multi bonus!

JUst checked out the new navman pin570 which doubles as a pocket pc that plays video and also you can edit pics. Just what i have been waiting for and it is 270 quid on the web if you look hard enough
