Good way of getting a cheap satnav for your bike is to search ebay for satnavs with faulty sound. You don't need sound for bikes so disable it but you'll pick them up for as little as £5 on ebay Another benefit is that it's not the end of the world if it gets damaged by wet or anything.

Good tip that,

i do personally like to have bluetooth tho,

Most people have a smart phone be it android , apple or crack-berry and there are some great Navigation apps out there, i use Co-Pilot live on the HTC Desire HD, Screen is a big one so its great in a givi sat nav bag (same as this one)

Wallet, Keys, Cash, Kit Kat etc all goes in it if im going on a treck, has a port for charging too, Velcro wraps on too so you can easy take it all with you

An even cheaper way is look at a map before you leave!

Fine if you have a simple route but not if the routes too complex to store in your head. I'm a good map-reader but I still value the benefits of Satnav especially in unfamiliar city centres.

From London my butt LOL.
Bargains are there though. Got mine for £5.21 + £1.50 postage. Total cost £6.50. My mate got one for his bike £7.12 with free postage. Both work fine apart from no sound.

i stuck mine to the inside of my screen and totally forgot it was there.... even when i was jetwashing my bike

it still works but only on sound lol.... the touchscreen has unsynchronised itself with the display so the touchpads arent in the usual place... basically its fkt lol!
ended up getting another one with bluetooth built in for 70p off ebay.... the previous owner had tried to install some new voices and accidentally wiped the sd card.
i got a new one with uk, ireland & euro maps for £6

i'll just use my fone in future though with headfones or bt lid.
thing isi like getting lost... thats how you find new roads

....I can relate to that

Try Rocket Fuel:
2 litre bottle of cider, and a bottle of Pernod.

Drink a swig of cider, top the bottle up with Pernod

Drink some of the resulting mixture, top up with Pernod each time.

Repeat until bored/asleep/arrested/dead.
