But do not have £400, I only have about £150 I can spend, do you know of any around that price that are good enough? Cheers Quote

dynax Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 use google maps, plan your route, print it out, put in a clear wallet, and stick on your tank Quote
Tankbag Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Phone, use ur phone Pay as you go, no data, poor person. Hopefully you can download your map on google maps & use it in offline mode, this wont use your mobile data but it wont give you live traffic updates Quote

raesewell Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 People managed to get from A to B for hundreds of years without using sat navs Quote
Stu Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 People managed to get from A to B for hundreds of years without using sat navs You could sell him your sat nav for a couple of quid then Quote
JackieOWheels Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Why not try one of those tank bags from Oxford, I've got the M15R version and it works great for my CBR as it's got a magnetic tank. https://www.oxfordproducts.com//motorcycle/product_type/luggage/tank_bags/You could put the TomTom in the middle pocket which has an anti-glare shield so works pretty good when on the road and blocks the sun out when it's shining down on you. It's definitely worth it but retail price is quite pricy so try gumtree and eBay for a 2nd hand ones (I got my M15R through eBay) Quote

Stu Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 People managed to get from A to B for hundreds of years without using sat navs You could sell him your sat nav for a couple of quid then Why would I do that? Because people managed hundreds of years ago You must remember those days Quote
