It is possible to put repeaters in to extend length but they need power to do their job.

Call me a pedant (people often do ) but the spec is 100m max length, so you've got at least 8 and a half metres in hand...

The hyper pedant would say that most installers only run to 90m so there is still room for patching and remains inside the standard.

Spose you gotta account for a little bit of stretch from folks hanging their washing on it as well.

Don't think Tim hangs out the washing?

When my wife has known about an important appointment for months, does she decide to fill the form in the day before, and then ask me where a certain document might be!

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

Not what I need to walk into after a stressful day at work

If any of you are thinking about a locking mount for your nav then I can now recommend DJ's recommendation. The Touratech kit is more expensive but is MUCH better made than the flimsy TomTom version and is very solid. I'm poorer now but jolly happy .

Super hyper pendant
It also depends on the current that the switch and patch can provide

Yeah, I was looking at whether to bother getting the premium tomtom kit but the lockable do-dah's are just plastic plus there are still the ram-mount nuts on the bars that can be undone...to me it makes more sense just to remove the thing and sling it into a bag, I always have a kreiga 10L attached to the rack on the bike anyway....

I assume the touratech mounts directly onto the bars and isn't un-bolt-able once in place with a tomtom locked inside? i.e. if someone had the right tools it would still not be removable?

I just reserved a rider 400 from Halfords, collect only from my local store and no longer deliverable (they better actually have it in stock, I will find out tomorrow AM!)...With 10% voucher applied (B17SATNAV10) it was £269, which I thought wasn't too bad....that was only after spending the best part of a day trying to find a way of using a route file (kml/itn/gpx/whatever) with a free sat nav tool on the phone to no avail....why oh why can't google make the maps app do continuous waypoint navigation, you have to click continue at each point!
