Sorry for other gps threads, now have 3gs and have to eat prevoius words, it is a nice bit of kit. Esp for the 50 quid i now have to pay for it.

What GPS should i use, bet their is not a bike one avaialble - willing to pay - or try out a free one.

Theres loads out there and bit confusing, nice simple one with audio support etc ... Karma

Then theres this .

Yes, is does. As long as it's mobile data (on a standard goodybag) then you're fine. They get a little iffy with people streaming video etc but GPS etc will be fine (I use it myself).

Blatant plug if you haven't already got a sim Wink

Tomtom is worth the money, and GPS is not Internet, it is an entirely different system and won't cost you anything to use, this is why satnavs don't have SIM cards in them.

Co Pilot has a option to select motorbike in route planning Mr. Green

But if you are going to use giggaf (its 02) in another guise then why not just stick to google maps.

GPS itself doesn't, but some of the mapping software does.

Normal subject to "fair use" but you'll have to be using a shit load of data to go over it.

Unless you've bought a bundle (goodybag) then data is charged at 20p a day (up to 20MB), if you go over 20MB you'll be charged extra at 20p/MB.
If you have a £10 (or greater) bundle then the data is free.
