Fair point! I've been using my phone as satnav for the past year and it works very well with a plus side that I've wired my phone to charge at the same time...rickbat wrote:as most of us use tank bags and smartarse phones anyway, this could be a cheap alternative to expensive waterproof satnav/gps

Tip. Don't bother if you don't wire a charger up. Your phone will be dead in a hour running the screen on and GPS.
I'll even recommend Navfree. Completely free on android with world maps. Paired with memory map you do have everything you need.
It's only after getting a bit more daring :woohoo: that I've started considering my options. River crossing and the like don't work too well with smart phones.
Also. The other snag I found with the phone in a bag type approach. When you stop and if you are charging it, it's a bit of a faff to get the phone off your bike. Especially if it's raining.
All that said. It's not enough of a concern to start me spending £400 on a sat nav but when I saw these things at this sort of money it started me thinking.
i am going to buy me one and i will post some pics or even video of it in a couple weeks time, but if anyone beats me to it please do share
Be carefull doing this, i have ruined a smart phone while running them of the bike, It is ok to use them occasionally but when your out for a good few hours using your phone as a sat nav and charging it at the same time it gets very hot and cooks the chip inside, i would rather replace one of these at £90 rather than £300-400 on a new phone.APD_660Ten wrote:
