nt means that the only text of relevance is in the title and you still didnt say what satnav you used and why.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

im guessing your not impressed - you're welcome

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

PS: I use a V7 something or other because it was cheap and had detailed European maps.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

I'm not impressed either, sorry.

It doesn't impress people when your just trying to be a knob.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Im not trying to be a knob. it was supposed to stop people from needing to look any further. If youve nothing constructive to say you dont need to before you try an insult me.


Ralph Was it the V7 PMD 1400 SatNa.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Yes, that's the one.

Market research? Looking for a recommendation? Donned an anorak and developed an interest in cataloguing makes and models of sat nav? ;)

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Ok, Then maybe its just the way you have come across.

How about :-

"Please keep this thread clear of chat.
What satnav do you use and why.
Please post a picture of it"

Thanks

:rolleyes:

Garmin Zumo 550, waterproof and easy to use in gloves.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Garmin Zumo 400---does all the same as the 550 but without the voice prompts and as I don't like wires or have a bluetooth helmet it fits the bill at 1/2 the price.
Zumo's have a fairly long battery life if not connected compared to other brands which is handy for the odd occasion that I may use it in the car.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

I use an old pda with tomtom on it.

It stays under my seat so I cannot see it. no routes defined, simply plugged into the autocom to alert me if near camera sites.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

I use AA route planner, a bit of paper and a biro.
Not very handy in the wet and if you dont keep pulling over to check your route/directions its pretty useless.

+1, which I bought for the grand sum of £79 at Halfrauds the other day.

Haven't used it yet.

I've got a Myguide 3218we for the car, but I swapped the software to Navigon software which is better than the Turbodog which was the OEM

I've got TomTom software on my Smartphone but it's well out of date by now I think

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

I've got an upgraded version of Matts system - the maps are waterproof and I use a highlighter pen :p

Half the fun of a ride can be in getting lost, anyway.

Ya flash git.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Mavicap---If you go onto a site "TELFORISER"[I think thats how you spell it and I don't have the link] they do really excellent mountings for whichever bike you have,reasonable price and terrific service.
I was not impressed with the fitting ideas in the kit so I used the front tank screw fitting from the site and ran the power feed inside the frame to the battery[Fused]
No intrusive wiring on display.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

DT you mean http://telferizer.com/ . Thanks, I agree with you the standard mount isn't very good and I was going to get one fairly soon.

Have you got a picture of your mount is positioned? I was going to buy the one that mounts in the top yoke nut.

No rush

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

A map! Satnavs are for Girls...and Jambo!

I downloaded Wisepilot for my phone the other day because it was free. I tried Nav4All but thats gone down the tubes now.

I have a theory that if everyone used the same satnav everyone would use the same roads, freeing up the back routes for people with maps and a sense of direction :)

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Not really as generally I don't end up at the destination :(

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Zumo 660. Love it, but mainly because I have 16GB of music on it, and i can change tunes etc on the go. Also lets me take / make calls via my autocom headset

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

I'm not allowed to post in this thread as I do not have a sat nav.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

What's the best price you can get a bike-nav for?

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

TomTom Rider 2, hasnt let me down thus far... I find it pretty easy to get lost too :D

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

co pilot on the hero..saves carrying 2 things

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Navi-go which was given to me free by a work colleague (about £50 in shops), it has a earphone socket which I plug some noise cancelling earphones in (£10), these not only protect my hearing but help me listen to the directions and finally this slips into the map pocket of my tank bag (£20).

You can also buy proper satnav cases which mount on the bars (£35) and also battery extenders which give you approximately another 10 hours of satnav life on top of the satnavs own battery (£25).

So about £120 for a satnav that can be used both on the bike and in the car.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

Wisepilot is free? Where do I get it? I used Nav4All on my phone as well because my wife kept running off with the sat nav. I'd love to find another free one that does turn by turn navigation. Even better if it doesn't download routes from the web as you never have a decent data signal when you need it most, although cost of data is not an issue as my work pays the bill. Don't want to pay a subscription either.

If I can't find an alternative I'm going to buy copilot.

Maviczap---mine is on a Sprint ST using the bolt on the front of the tank
I am sure using your suggestion would be just as good but will it not move when you steer? not so much a visual problem but possible chaffe the power wire.

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

What sort of recommendation is that -> Suffolk/Sheffield/Here/There, Gp? ;)

Re: What satnav do you use and why? no text
 

mpbus.net have wise pilot (not sure if its just a demo though)

TomTom Rider 2 best price Ive seen is £180

Dave Ill post you the best price once Ive found it.
