Hi all, does anyone know how I could fit a sat nav to my kymco agility 125 in some sort of water proof pouch, the only problem being that the ped has no visible handlebar just a large, bulky fairing. Any suggestions would be great thanks for your time, Danny

Front jacket pocket? velcro'd onto somewhere via sticky-backed velcro? Double-sided sticky pads?

I've come across one youtube video where the guy secured his satnav to his left-hand mirror. I wouldn't personally recommend that, but it's possible to stick a satnav to pretty much anywhere you want too.

You should be fine with just headphones, I have driven a car listening to sat navs directions before. As long as your paying attention then you shouldnt have any problems.

Another vote for headphones.

I much prefer listening to the directions and focusing on what's happening around me rather than taking my eyes off of the road to study a map.

It's a bit of a nuisance if the directions get confusing/you miss one. But then you just have to find somewhere suitable to pull over and take a quick look at the map, then carry on your way.

I'm a HTC G-maps user too Smile

"Take the ramp" it said. So I (incorrectly) took the one on the right, rather than the road on the left which was the "ramp" to the roundabout.
