Quite simply, I'm looking for a bike sat nav.
Any recommendations/ones to avoid?

avoid all of them get a map book and stop for coffee ??
if not most smart devices have google maps which is good for most situations but doesn't have onboard maps (in most cases) Nav Free has a download offline map option)

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.

Why oh why would you buy one of those over-priced niche-market things?Kwackerz wrote: but my ifone (yes alad i bought one) works well too..
Maybe Joe-public has at last begun to rumble them (despite the continual media promotion of crApple) - Q1 of this year only about 1 in every 6 smartphones sold was an i-phone.

I used to love my old garmin quest but the price of map updates was rediculous, so upgraded to a zumo 660, still cant say i like it as much as the quest. First use in the car going to ipstones in derbyshire, via 'the north' and the bloody thing took us through sheffield in rush hour. Great.
The pc mapping software is akward to use but very complete.
But, big thumbs up for bluetooth scala headset, lets me use either smartphone or zupo when its out of sight and my better half can phone me on the move to check all is ok - mint!
Either option needs a power feed of some sort, either satnav harness or i mounted a ciggy lighter so i can plug a charger for anything thats needed.
