Mounting SatNav to Speedo

Guess what I got for Xmas

I remember Blue doing this a while back but couldn't find it.

Basically I have the suction mount for the windscreen in a car, does anyone use it to mount it to the speedo glass on the bike etc. I guess its not safe or anything, but has it ever fell off?

Or, is there a mount for TomTom One V3 for the proper handlebar mounts, cos all the ones I found are for TomTom Rider. Is that the same mount?

I take it the TomTom One isn't waterproof to the same extent that the Rider is?

Most definitely not. But, under the screen whilst moving keeps it a little protected

Wrap in in a 'sandwich/freezer' bag when its on its mount.

Will it stay in place though Grichypoos mounted to the speedo??

I've had the suction mounts fall off in a car. Probably due to condensation or change of temperature or a crap suction mount. This was a small Garmin one.

I think i'd be tempted to leave the suction mount on the bike for a good while and see how well it holds after a few hours.

YEs you can mount it onto the speedo on a curvy as Wideboy does, i have bought a Ram mount as i dont fancy my sat nav dropping off and bouncing down the road!

Use a cable tie or 'elastic' band to seal it... I've seen it done before by someone on here on a naked bike, ram mount would be better though.

But then surely it'd be a good idea to leave the whole lot on for weight.

ive found the tom tom mount to be good in my car but never tried the bike, sometimes it can be very hard to get off, maybe just make sure there is a back up such as cable ties to something in the chance it does fall
