Just thought I'd post up some thoughts on the above charger. It's a compact gizmo built around a DIN plug that enables you to charge two USB gadgets simultaneously. It's voltage sensitive so switches itself off when the input voltage drops below a predetermined number, designed to protect...

Hi all, Wondering around Tesco like a zombie as usual, I stumbled on this - Garmin Drive 50 LMT Travel Edition with Worldwide maps at £85. I know it wont be water proof and fiddly to use perhaps, but at £85 its a shed load cheaper than a bike Nav?:thumbright: Anyone tried this out? Perhaps in...

I'm selling my TomTom Urban rider sat nav, with '45' Europe mapping. Comes boxed & instructions, with RAM mounts, charging mount with ciggy socket attached (I also have the full length cable for permanent bike mounting) and non charging mount (adapted to take a mini usb in the sat nav port)...

My other half bought me a camera for xmas but to be honest i didn't really need one so she returned it for a refund and i quite fancy a bike Sat Nav instead.I've been looking at the TomTom Rider V5,TomTom Rider 400 and the Garmin Zumo 660,has anyone got any of these or what others would you guys...

I have a TT Rider 2 and want to just use a bluetooth receiver with an earpiece. I don't want or need to use a headset with mike. I do have a bt' receiver but Rider won't connect even though it finds it. The Rider says it doesn't recognise the "phone" and promptly rejects it. (I can get the bt'...

I'm in the progress of buying a new Satnav. I think I narowed it down to either the Garmin Zumo 390LM or the TomTom Rider V4. Or are the others out there? Any drawbacks on any of the two contenders? Cheers, Kjell

Hi all, as the sun was shining, blue skies all round I thought I'd have a ride on the Africa Twin today. I set off just after 10.00am and headed for Dallas, a small village outside Elgin, Morayshire, not Texas! I then went over the hill to Knockando on Speyside. I then followed the river Spey to...

I've never had the urge / desire for a satnav, I use AutoRoute on my laptop in the truck but I have recently been using my iphone 4S with Navfree and View Ranger for bike distance travel and byway bimbling. I'm planning a couple of European trips next year and questioning whether I need a...

Got my new TomTom Rider v5 today and the hardwire charger for the permanent connection doesn't have an inline fuse So I'm gonna buy an inline fuse holder from ebay but what size fuse would you fit? Ta John

Anyone got a tomtom rider v2 active (i.e. plug a charging cable into the mount itself) mount they want to sell? I took mine off an old bike I sold and then moved house and can't find the bl00dy thing!

Garmin Zumo 660LM or Tomtom Rider V4/5, this is my dilema although I like the sound of the new Tomtom although I have yet to read an independant review of one. Has anyone on here had any experience of either unit? I like the idea that the Garmin has a 3.5mm jack and an mp3 player built in, on...
