Get lost aint that what every motorbike rider wants to get lost it means the wife dosnt moan becuase you have an excuse to stay out longer on your PRIDE AND JOY !! OR AM I WRONG !!

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

They still print maps, cost around £10 and need no power supply

Cheaper at £45 just satisfy yourself it's what you want

You dont need a sat nav love, they get you lost... A good map is best, and directions taped on the tank

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....

Lol, I didn't think it was that much of an eyesore and you need it to get home "after" getting lost! (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)

And yet, 2 pages in, still nobody has answered Magnums question...

If there was a definitive thread for derailing...

I bought the satnav in my first post. It should come on saturday, and the charger may come the same day or day after. Ill post a mini review after ive tested it.

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.
