Bike Navigator

Post by Kishy »

Anyone have a portable navigator on their rides?

I've only ever seen one bike with one fixed.

Work is offering to buy a Navman iCN 320 but not sure if this can be
attached, or is suitable for a motorbike

When I bought mine my criteria was:

1. Must be waterproof

2. Must able to do auto routing (don't want to loook too long at GPS while riding lol)

3. Can connect to 12v source.

Which comes to Garmin 60c + Australian City Navigator map. Very happy with it, except that the map was not too good with back roads, i.e. reefton is not there! I just complement it with $7 victoria map.

April edition of Cycle Torque (free at local bikeshop) page 26.

Check that out . Looks more expensive, but it's designed for bikes. 3D maps, touchscreen, waterproof, bluetooth earpiece you can also hook your mobile phone up to, etc.
