I'm looking at buying a sat nav for the car, but want to know if there is a suitable product which I can attach to a road bike too. As it is mainly for the road, I don't need OS mapping.
I know this was discussed about a year ago on here, but things may have moved on.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much
you'll hate me saying this, but an iphone 4 with the navfree app will do all of the above,and give you music player telephone and training monitor all rolled into 1 (with other apps)
TomTom do (did?) a specific bike model (for motorbikes). Main difference being that it's weatherproof.
Motorola Defy to do what the iphone does, but is waterproof and cheaper.
There's the iPhone/Android option if you just want to record routes whilst on the bike but waterproofing & battery life are always going to be a problem.
Otherwise, most Garmin GPSs do routing with the right maps installed. They're not quite as good as the dedicated car ones but they've got my to/from places in the past ok.
The Garmin Dakota 20 does turn by turn routing with the inbuilt map
You can install OS maps too if required

Yeah, finally a MTBers smartphone 🙂
I'm surprised TomTom don't do a Garmin 800 equivalent, it's not exactly an amazing product.
I would second the Defy Android is great 🙂
Garmin do the zumo for motorbike use, not cheap though.
Shouldn't that be a Zooooooomo?
Thanks to everyone
