Featured Triumph Forum sat nav group

My (sat nav failure) back up maps look exactly like that. Uncanny.

 

Update.

The day after I dropped it off at the newsagents I got an email saying it had arrived in Romania!

At lunchtime today I got an email saying it was sorted and on its way back. They gave me a UPS tracking number and it was picked up in Romania at 13:00 and, scanned into the airport at 15:30 and scanned out of the airport an hour and a half later.

It is scheduled to be with me before 17:00 tomorrow.

Not a bad job TomTom.

 

Romania !!! Gypsies !!!

They probably just went out and nicked a new one of some bike parked up

 

I bought a Tom Tom Start 60 a couple of years ago (I know its a car job but I am tight and it was cheaper than bike ones) it hangs from the top of the screen on my 93, 900 Trophy so that it is in my eyeline, (no need to nod to see it).
For the last few miles of a journey it is brilliant for finding the exact address in a new town, otherwise I put in destination postcode, motorways or not and let it take me and it has worked well except it didn't know Morocco, but there are fewer roads there to choose from so no problems.
Not a good idea to rely on it for speed limits as often local authorities alter them
usually down so you can be caught speeding.
In Norway it said "this route has unsurfaced sections" but I took it anyway, it was loose gravel but not deep enough to cause any problem.
I wouldn't be without it now as it saves so much time by not getting lost.

 

Waterproof?.

 

As long as you keep moving, take it off when parking. OK so far! it is protected behind the screen most of the time.

 

Hey Mr O. If the meds allow you to can you add me to the group? User name is, you guessed it, Sir Trev.

 

Hi Mr O can you add me to the group please sounds great . Thanks Tucker

 

TomTom or Garmin will be fine and you don't need the top of the range ones if you just want a simple route finder or way to follow a pre-set track you make on the computer first. Invest in a decent locking system and play with locations so it's comfy/easy to see and off you go.

Look out for models that have been replaced with newer ones as you can sometimes get good deals. Personally I'd go for the dedicated bike models as they're rugged and waterproof, plus the mounts can be easily powered and hold the unit more securely.

 

Just requested entry to the group, can you let me in please I promise to behave !

 

Behave , that will get you barred dear sir !

I used an ultimate motorcycle waterproof mount for my iphone 5, if they make one for the 8 I'd recommend it

 

Sat nav loaded with route for into the valley rally tomorrow

 

Don’t forget to put the travel directions on your petrol tank and not on your trailer

 

Whadya mean WERE?.....

 

I’ll be following someone
It’s nice to have someone to blame

 

Steve Lovatt’s not going to be there!

 

Those would prob do more good on the trailer than on his leg.
Get a real sat nav you cheap skate!
Failing that the missus on the pillion thumping you on the left or right shoulder when you need to go either of those directions
