Default About to buy a satnav (navman s30) any reason not to?

I wanted something flat so that it fits in the clear part of my tankbag. (no point paying out for a mount yet, but may invest in the future.
The tomtom rider doesnt interest me and its pricey.

Is there any reason why i should NOT go for this satnav?

Oh also one question. Does anyone know if it can be charged up and just go off the battery?

I have a brand spanking new tomtom rider v2........would let it go for a reasonable offer.

Due to the fact it won't fit on my RR.

I have the Navman iCN 720, bit older so not sure how relevent it'll be, but easy to useand navigate with, although only about 5 hours from the builtin battery, so had to fit a power socket to the bike for longer runs (which is where I'd normally use it), the petrol station database is useful though.

Cheers Mark.

Thanks, but its completely out of my price range. I wanted something flat like the navman so it slips into the clear bit of the tankbag.

Great idea but my poor RR wouldn't look right and well, if I get lost that just means a longer ride, right?
