I can go lower than that.
What about.... you don't need Satnav cause as long as you can see the Exup in front of you , you are going the right way

The bike in front is an EXUP

I got this the other day. It does everything im looking for on the bike and in the car. Only downside is that its not waterproof. The way im looking at it is that if it rains I can just put it in my pocket and stick the earpiece in it cos its got bluetooth.

Only thing was I had to buy an extra mount cos Im a lazy bugger and wanted to leave the other one stuck to the car.
To attach it to the top yoke I had to remove the sucker from the bottom by removing the pin which left a nice little gap for 2 cable ties to go through.

ive got the same garmin i3 as you found it ok in the car but mines got no ear plug sockit

is this something you fitted yourself. i have used it a couple of times on the bike but cant hear it i just had to look at the map. i just used the suction to fit it on the inside of the screen and also tied it just in case the suction came of..

I made a bracket bolted up to the inside of the mirror bolts and fitted the ear plug socket by soldering in parallel with the speaker. I don't use it with the ear plug due to the trailing lead getting on my nerves.

seems a bit to much hassle for me . think ile just carry on looking at the map without the sound. ive also got a nokia n95 with sat nav but cant seem to find anywere i can download the maps for it as every time i use it it has to go on the internet to get the map could work out a bit costly

For those on a budget ebuyer.com do the MYGUIDE 3100 for 70 quid delivered.

It is very easy to get the speed cameras to show on it and it is rechargeable, so fine for short trips.

I just used the window sucker that comes with it and stuck it to my rev counter.

Yeah but i dont know how easy it is to mod for cameras...the 3100 is easy.
