Sat nav recommendations

[Nikki]

I've decided to get a Sat nav for the bike and will be very grateful for any recommendations.

I'm also a bit undecided as to which mount to use having narrowed it down to -

or

I'm swaying towards the first option with the fork stem mount.

I've got a Telefrizer mount http://www.telferizer.com/ then one of these http://www.ram-mount.co.uk/double-so...c-238_286.html so i can then mount a camera or Iphone in case with ball mount, if i'm using the Iphone i use http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php...Fa4mtAodfFtdrQ to bluetooth the music and satnav instructions up to me. All depends on the bike i 'spose, and whether you want a dedicated sat nav. I like the iphone because i can listen to music and get the nav instructions up to me all in one.

I've found the android / google maps excellent, even with voice only.

Thanks.

Choice is a bit limited as its for a GSXR 750, so no options to mount on the bars.

I only really intend to use it for Sat nav, or as a phone holder, I dont want Blue tooth for sound etc. I dont like listening to music on the bike and the Satnav voice in my helmet would drive me potty.

I'm very impressed with an Android app I downloaded, NavFree world, but would like a dedicated Sat nav now.

Then you want a Telefrizer, as it's designed for sports bikes, then the arm, then a case with ball for whatever phone you have. Navfree is a superb app for this, and of course free.

I have a Garmin Zumo 660 having had a Zumo 550 previously. I can't recommend these to you as they do far more than you need, but they are great SatNav's for bikes if you like to plan routes, listen to music and be wireless. There are loads of different mounting options available for these. Not cheap though..... My mobile is circa 1995 so there's no phone option for me ;D

From what I can see the one made by Telferizer is just like the ones selling on Ebay ie the ram mount which fits into the fork stem.
