Zitat von remmy71 im Beitrag #1 Welcome Remmy, Cracking buy - in the timeless Lupin finish  On Amazon you can find several brockets that clip into the SatNav mount and allow you to mount your smartphone - much cheaper than a Nav. But I have to admit the best thing about the Nav is the Wonderwheel functionality which does make it damn easy ( and legal ) to scroll through the Nav functions on the move .

First, welcome. Nice looking ride. I originally was cheap and bought a Garmin Zumo 660, which will work in the GPS prep kit but no wheel access. Then I bought a used BMW navigator. The wheel access is great and the BMW navigator can be linked to your phone and then it's a smart GPS. Having gotten used to Wazes, a dumb GPS is pretty frustrating! It's it's really nice to have the navigator route you around traffic. |

Yes the Zumo 660 will work fine - a bit slow but it will get there. I used mine when I first acquired my 1250RS late June last year. That allowed me to be hard-nosed looking for a used Nav 6 on Ebay which I have since acquired over the winter.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #2 I concur ps - as a non-Jog Wheel rider, I find the “basic” satnav works just fine. I’m not sure my left hand would have happily cleared the Jog Wheel to do all the other things on that side. I like to ride without any crap in my ears. Carpe Diem! |
