Just saying.

Yeah, I'm sure. I thought of that and checked, it's definitely not on the bike.

Lol, I wish matey!

I'd imagine if that happened I would see the "remains" of the GPS on the tarmac.

While it's a possibility, the vehicle would need to be the size of voltron to vaporise the GPS and not leave any plastic on the road.

Bad, some thieving scum likely walked right past you knowing you were looking for it.

Buy a tomtom rider next time, you can attach a lanyard to stop it falling off

Very likely

I didn't think the TomTom Rider had as much features as the Zumo.......but that sound like a neat idea!

just get a normal satnav, had mine for 8 years now and am due an upgrade now, lol it's been upgraded once in that time and covered many thousands of miles in car van and bike, garmin btw.

How are you :
a. mounting it?
b. keeping it waterproof?

Thinking of doing this.
Have a good gps on my phone which is OK for the car but can't see it in the sun.

I've a Navman s90i. In a waterproof case, bar mounted, been used for over 100k without a problem, beauty of it is only £50 if I need to replace it.

100K? Lol, well I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I'll save up for another one I guess.
I've got plans to visit some places and I think having a good SatNav would aid me and make my journey less of a hassle.

I've got plans to ride in Eastern Europe, America, Russia, Africa.

I've got a mate riding from London to Lagos in West Africa with about 10 friends; they plan to sell their bikes there and fly back to the UK.......I would love to do something crazy like that not too long from now.
