Car SAT NAV on your bike

I'm off to France for a ride next June and want to use my Garmin car sat nav but when on the move you can't hear what it says and looking at it is a pian and dangerous. So I'm going to try this out. Anyone else used it?

Looks like a good idea and cheap as well but by just listening and not having a picture I'll probably get even more lost

I've got a new job in Bristol and when my new colleague who has lived there for 16 years got lost, I thought shit what chance am I going to have??!! So I'll need something!!

i use mine with just a picture, no sound, and its fine, you just need to get into the habbit of seeing how far away your next turn off is and working out what your milleometer will say when you get there.

and even if you take a wrong turning you can either turn around, or take a minor detour...the satnav will still point you in the right direction
