[QUOTE="rapcom, post: 39008, member: 191"] Without getting into brand-specific discussion, the immediate criteria are that the sat-nav must be water-proof and vibration-proof for motorcycle use. Most car ones are not. That narrows down the field substantially. If you want to feed audio navigation instructions to your helmet, then you need a dedicated "audio out" socket on the unit, or Bluetooth capability. That narrows it down some more. If you go for Bluetooth, then you need a Bluetooth adaptor for your helmet, and have to recharge your helmet every day (not so easy if you are camping). How big a display do you need? If you use reading glasses, they are very inconvenient on a bike. What mountings are available for your chosen model? Windscreen, handlebar, RAM mount, custom brackets? Do you want to be able to swop it from car to bike and back again? UK database, Europe wide, capability to load US or Oz? As usual of course, ask a dozen riders and you'll get 13 answers.... [/QUOTE]
