GPS motorbike mounts

[kingsknight]

How many of you guys us GPS on your bike?

Well iv got a N95 which has a very good GPS software package called route66 on it and i really want to find a safe mount for it to put on my bike.

The best i have found is this but they dont ship to the uk

^yea i used them. Get something called a aquabox 3 and the brackets for it, should be big enough to put your phone in.

There probably won't be anything specific for the n95 for bike mounting. touratech and RAM make lots of mounts, but they are all. as far as I can tell, mounts for dedicated GPS units, and for use in all weathers. I'm suire you woudn't want your N95 getting soaked in a downpour

RAM mounts have announced the Aquabox 6, that seems to be quite big (4"x6"x1.75") - its available at the end of March/Start of April

I've got an Aquabox AQ2 - I can fit my smartphone or an full size ipod in it...seems pretty solid and waterproof and can still work the controls on the phone or the ipod - won't get a full size GPS in it though.

^Yes it does but you need a socket arm also like this to connect them both together. https://www.gpsw.co.uk/details/prod397.html

I've never been able to get a gps signal with my N95 and route66, I've signed it any everything but it still doesn't fecking get signal or get a gps location. Did you have any troubles?

Cheers, Daz.

The N95 is a pi$$ poor excuse for a Sat-Nav. I wouldn't even bother buying a mount for one. The best option is the top pocket of a tank bag or buy a decent GPS.

i think the N95 is a great little device.

Mine uses Nokia Maps, and not Route 66. You can always buy a Bluetooth GPS receiver to boost the performance of the software.

I put the phone in the top pocket of me jacket connect the gps receiver wich i hang from a lanyard tied to the bars and away i go.

fecking brilliant!

Route66 gives you free GPS instead of nokia's system which costs. It uses the internal GPS module but the signal seems shocking in my area!

Excellent pieces of kit and a good company.

I mounted the Aquabox onto an old TomTom Rider Mount stem - does the job.

I've now decided I'm going to sell it anyway as have bought another TomTom to replace the one I lost (a poor man's rider - a TomTom V1 Refurb, a £5 mount clip from Maplin, The old Rider mount stem and will use a clear plastic bag for when it rains). Already had a cigarette lighter socket fitted so in theory is should all work - going to try it at the weekend.

Stick it in a pocket and run from the voice-prompts instead.
