Whilst, in terms of cables, I would only need a power lead and could plug an extension to my in helmet headset. I would need to rig up a cigar lighter adaptor on a fly lead, waterproof that, and then buy an otter box or similar to keep the phone dry (have tried using GPS in a tank bag and it's not a great solution as it's too far from line of sight). I would then have problems operating TomTom though the membrane of the otter box as the touch screen controls are fiddly enough without it let alone with gloves on.I've been using smartphones with tomtom or route 66 on the bike with no probs for a few years now. Only a power lead to the phone, and bluetoothed to a Cardo earpiece. So no fiddling around with cables, and it's taken me many thousands of miles.
While it might be nice to have a tomtom rider or similar, I don't think it would be any more effective than my existing set up. And considerably costlier!
UMMM not quite, cant download maps onto a sim card, however you CAN download maps onto a memory card, so is that what you meant or am i just technically stoooooppppidddddd, and polite no four letter replies please peoples.Using a couple of cut down shampoo bottles, I have an N95 on the handlebar with a modified car cigarette charger running off the extra power outlet on under the fuel tank. Then it's bluetooth voice guidance as previously mentioned. Works a treat!
