Hi, I've got a 2005 Dakar and need a satnav. From reading for many hours and originally wanting a tomtom rider urban, I think I'm going to go for a garmin zumo 660, hope its worth the price. The mappig is what sold it to me, but I'm hearing reports its not as smooth as a Tom Tom
So, I've not ordered any yet but is the 660 the general choice a present?
I will need to be able to take emergency calls on mt iphone.
Then, I need to choose a headset. Originally I thought £30 would do it, now I'm up to a Scarla G4 at £175!!!!!! I like the idea of the FM radio when on a long road or stopped but heard its not too good? But, I also like the idea that you can charge it on the bike with a USB lead, sounds useful. But, is this the headset of choice or are there others. £175 is about the max I'd want to pay. I see system such as autocoms mentioned but have no idea. Ideally I'd like MP3, talk to others if I ever need too and radio if its possible. Any other options for me?
The other question is the fitting. Does the mount fit on the Dakar anywhere? I did see somewhere a mount to fit it on the crossbar of the handbar so its in front of you, but can't remember where I saw this?
Then and finally, wiring it in? If I get one in time, my bike is getting a service and new tyres on Tuesday and the shop said they could wire it in for me, although I'm not sure they have done many. So, whats the options? My bike does have a 12v adaptor fitted from new, one of those small ones, but I would prefer to have something more permanent and save the 12v for somethingelse if needed.
Thank you for your help, its a lot of money so need to get it as close to right or have the options and advice to make a choice, even if its the wrong one!!!
Thank you.
