Anyone know of any used satnavs that go cheap and have a speedo function? I want one just for that...the nav part can be pants, not bovered.

TIA
Try the Garmin nuvi, old hat and need pre- paid updates but they are a robust larger readable unit that works fine of the external 12 volt power supply so no worries about knackered internal batteries, I use mine on my VT 500 combi and have found it very reliable and accurate though the boot up time can be up to 3 minutes depending on location.

I bought a Mio Moove M616 from this seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ipg=25&_osacat=0&_armrs=1&_ssn=thehomegardenstore&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xmio&_nkw=mio&_sacat=0&_from=R40

He takes best offers mine was listed as £35 and I got it for £25.

Factory reconditioned so look new and you get a map update the first time you hook it up to the PC. Has a speedo function too. Also does traffic if the 12v charger is connected.

Thanks, when you select the speedo function, how big is the display? Does it fill the screen or is it part of the nav display?

I've also seen HUD speedo dispalys for £40....which is a bit more than I want to pay....no used ones unfortunately.
It's for the car....I can't see my speedo for the steering wheel Rolling Eyes


It's small and part of the nav screen. That said when my speedo cable snapped I used it as my bike speedo for about a month without any real problems.

There are phone apps that are reasonably accurate and would display larger. I tried one but I can't remember the name of it, was free for android though.
