sat nav for courier work

[gothbiker]

Might be changing jobs and moving down south, can anybody recommend a bike sat nav I can use for courier work? Something decent, I used to use a quest sold that and have been using a mobile phone for a shortwhile. Any advice will be great!
Thanks Dj

Assuming you're coming to London there is a Sat nav for Taxi's called Cabbies Mate. It's not waterproof but buybits will probably sell a case for it.

Personally as a professional rider in London I find Sat Navs a bit hit and miss with the tall buildings masking signals and causing endless re routing and it can pick routes that take you miles out of the way . I use the Cabbies Mate app on my iPhone (£19). It has both the large and small scale A-Z maps, predictive search and draws a cotton line from your current location to the destination which assists with route planning. I've got a waterproof case and a mount system on my tank bag. Phone is attached to me by a lanyard so I don't leave it on the bike. Assuming you already have an iPhone cheapest and best solution IMHO
