Which SD Card & Mount for the 550

[Sho]

As i now have a 550 inc the handle bar mount but which mount do you prefer.

I've located the mount on the left side of my handle bars which seems fine as i can take my left hand off to operate it while riding. For those riders with the clock mount do you find it any better and why?? I am looking at all mounting options but need to justify it before spending money.

Also, i have a 4GB (ScanDisk SD) card for the zumo, i placed 2k songs on it and waited 25mins for the "Drawing" to finish. I have created sub directories on the card and placed them all in there A to Z. (so each folder has A-B, C-D, E-F etc)

It does seem however 300 songs takes around 3 mins for the "Drawing" to complete, can this be speeded up in any way with still having 2k songs on there.

Before anyone asks why i have that amount on there its so i dont have to change cards and eventually i will get through them especially with a 17 day trip lurking around the corner.

I use the BMW mount which seems to do the job just fine

With MP3's the advice I followed was to split them into folders, max 20 tracks per folder and put all folders into folder named MP3 on the card.
This also works fine for me with no undue loading time.

I used to have mine clock mounted, but found that it moved a lot.. when I fitted my MRA screen the Zumo unit touched it.

So I fitted it on the left as shown, where it turned out to be much more convenient for 'fiddling'.

Sorry Sho - should have said mine is on an 1200GS - not sure if they do one for an 1150 or the same mount will fit.

No worries, will still pop along and see what they can do.
