Just plan your journey with a map.

Take map with you,

stop every so often stretch legs and check map.

That's the way we used to do it!

Some of us still do.

Ill give it a try! Ill tell you how I get on

[Benn]

I print directions off Google maps and sellotape them to my handle bars What phone do you have?

[OhJay]

I use satnav on my phone

Phone lives in my inside jacket pocket then pipe the sound into my ears with a set of earplug earphones

I did plan out mounting it on the bike, had it all mapped out ready and then never went through with it. Look up RAM mounts.

Try one of these, they'll fit onto any handlebars

Oh cheers mate, only thing is I've got an aprilia rs50 so I'm not sure if the sporty handlebars would take a handlebar mount

The Velcro straps just wrap around the handlebars, so no mount needed, quick to remove too.

Ah okay ill have a look, can you give me a link to where I could buy one?

[Voodoo]

just look for Givi satnav bag in google and you'll find loads of places. If you get one off ebay secondhand and don't like it, you'll always be able to sell it on and perhaps get your money back.

[dannysouthern2013]

Yeah that's true, which ones are you looking at on ebay?

[Voodoo]

Try this one item no:171025718975

[dannysouthern2013]

So do u reckon that's worth looking at?

Maybe if you win it for £20

Try sending him a message and say you can buy them for £35 new so will he take £15 plus £5 delivery.

Worth a try, just keep your fingers crossed he doesn't read this thread.

At £20 you'd be able to resell it for about the same price on ebay if you don't like it.

Any more than £20 for a secondhand one is too much I think.

Alternatively you could always try a tank bag with a clear window on top.
