Guest Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Do you just run it off the battery or have you rigged it up somehow?have a cigarette charger socket wired up on bike so it gets a charge and also a 12v usb charger adapter for charging phone/mp3 player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Did you see the Gadget Show this week?They had a system for waterproofing anything, including mobile phones which even worked under water. Something like that would make all SatNags suitable for bike use.I hope they roll it out soon as it would revolutionise outdoor gear and electronics.

MonkeyKnuckle Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Oh..Fantastic! I'll hook one up and leave it under my seat then. (When I get my bike working that is. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazer Pete Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Nearly bought one yesterday. Was trying it in the shop though and it couldn't find where i live. The mapping didn't have any of the odd numbers in my street. And my house is over a 100 years old, not a new development. Might be getting the Garmin Zumo instead as they're maps could find it.None of the other Tom Tom's could find my house either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyKnuckle Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I bought a Zumo yesterday as I saw one going for cheap...ish. Haven't been able to try it out yet due to my bike being dead but I've played around with it and it seems really good so far. Got lots of fancy features on it.
