Hey all,

Anybody on here have a Sat Nav fitted to their Storm. Am looking at a Garmin Zumo 550 system as I regularly visit the continent but am concerned about fitting it to the bike.

Had anybody got any advice on how they have fitted their system to the Storm.

Cheers

hi ya mate,
i have a v1 tomtom rider ,no probs with it all ,(and we use it in the car aswell)
the mounts are prone to failure(just had to replace mine)
but im lead to belive the new v2 model has a better mount.

worth a look i feel


pat.

Garmin don't have as many toys/software stuff available as TT it seems to me.

I have an 'older' than current spec TomTom 500 mounted in the clear map section of my tank bag (with self adhesive velcro to get it sitting at the right angle) and a 12 volt supply mounted on the bike too. Works a treat and got me to several destinations spot-on this year during a 750 miles round trip holiday on the 'Storm!

Hi I have a Garmin Quest fitted to my Storm, brackets supplied by Ram fit directly to brake/clutch lever whichever you want they also supply power lead and ear piece connectors 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm. You can get garminquest one for about £150 now with UK & Europe.

Thanks very much Storm, and appreciate you putting the photo on here, really helpful.

And thanks everybody for your advice.

Cheers

I don't mind getting lost, but with the Firestorms legendary tank range, getting lost with a low fuel tank is a pain in the rear fairing!!!!

half the fun is getting lost

Its much easier and more fun getting lost with a sat nav, I imput the final destination ,shortest route, then turn off down all the wee roads. So you always end up where you should but find some great roads on the way

Great company to , my sexy voiced sat girlie is an imaginary 6 foot blond with a 36” inside leg ,what better company could you have on the bike (for a guy)

Is she the one who asks if you want the easy pink route or the tricky brown one? I got that one, she says she is going to do rude stuff to my boy bits when we arrive, but the teasing bint never does.

our lass says the tricky brown route is a "NO ENTRY"
one way traffic sort of place

its amazing how a sat nav thread can turn around

OFF ROUTE RECALCULATING

ZUMO 550 is top notch

But then I do work for Garmin!!!!

Zumo it is then. Has anybody linked one through an AutoCom system?

Good quality sound, easy to fit etc etc

Oh and if you work for Garmin, any chance of a discount

Cheers
