I use Zumo and can get very detailed path into it.
Have not seen mentioning (but maybe It is obvious): I use a SENA Bluetooth system to listen to the GPS indications on the headset speakers while keeping my eyes on the road. I really felt it makes a difference.
However passed a certain speed, becomes hard to hear.

Hello Both,
Might be in your riding area: I plan to go discover some Peak District roads, weather allows, this Sat or Sun (I live SE of Manchester).
Maybe you know the "good" roads to do, or maybe just want to discover them? We can go together if you fancy... as long as we go easy
I am a rather quiet rider, most of the time, to let you know. Especially on UK roads, I am pretty new on them, and they do not feel as "comfortable" as the Swiss and German roads I am used to.

Hello
My personal observations playing with a cam on Helmet Vs bike:
Helmet mount:
PROS:
. For landscape recording is nice
. "See what I see" feeling/sharing
. Adapted to Vlogging (they mostly all put on helmet for a reason .. ? )
CONS:
. Cornering sensation very weak (indeed, you tend to keep your head up right )
. Speed sensation not that obvious, unless you go real super fast
On the bike mount:
PROS:
. Cornering sensation
. Speed sensation
CONS:
. Don't drop the bike on it
. Fixed, no mobility like on the helmet
. Not for Vlogging (they mostly all put on helmet for a reason .. ? )
There are more, sure

I had super light passengers that felt like unbalanced heavy potato bags and heavier people than me I barely felt sitting behind.
Experience tells me that the passenger behavior and positioning is key, probably more than their weight.

Actually I live in Denton. Which is on the way. 10.30 is good. May I propose Denton Morrisons to meet? (I do not know which Tesco you refer and also not yet knowing J&S )
