I think he means the Nav Man type thingo.........

PM.... GPZ_Jim ..... he has one on his bike

Garmin Zumo - weatherproof + Bluetooth.

TomTom Rider - same as above.

Aldi - occasionally have a bike-mount weatherproof unit .... don't know if it is Bluetooth, though.

And it's solar powered .....

I've used a Garmin Zumo 660 on the Blackbird for some time. It works well. Bought in Europe before available here so has Oz maps as a micro SD card. Garmin comes with both bike and car mounting kits and lots of other gear. Had the bike mount hardwired and used a plug in cord to helmet speakers and mike as I wanted stereo for music. Having trouble deciding where to mount it on the 10R? The Bird had a ball mount in the steering yoke but not enough room on the Ninja. Will move to wireless bluetooth now that stereo A2D2(??) thing is available and battery life seems better.

The Aldi Bike GPS is a steal if you can get one and the Garmin seems a better package if you can afford it over the Tom Tom.

I would love for somebody to explain why you need a GPS system on a bike. Don't you know where you are? Anyway a good place to mount it is up your arse. You will always know where it is. JB the fruit of the gods.
