The same currently for the Zumo XT :(

Yes, the 700i does come with CN lifetime maps. OS 1:50k maps are also included (bundled) from some sellers. The bike mount, which is very robust and is a lot more suitable for off road use than the XT mount ( I have both) is about £40

Do you use the XT off-road or purely on road ?

How does it perform ?

Is the 700i ok for general road routing
