I put my phone and GPS puck in a magnetic tank bag. never had any problems.Dumb question here.
I notice that most folks mount gps units on a dedicated mount. I presume that this is for reasons of security, stability, and visibility.
My question is this, has anyone just put one in the clear map holder thingy on a tank bag? The reason I fear this is a dumb question is that I know most computer-type devices shouldn't be around powerful magnets, such as you would find in a magnetic tank bag, as that'll wreak havoc on memory storage media.
Got power!
Powerlet :: Kits
- Lift the tank up,
- unscrew the battery terminals,
- insert power lugs from the powerlet cables (black '-' and red '+')
- screw terminals back on battery (used ziptie to lift up the square PITA bolts......),
- hide wire between airbox and frame, all the way to underseat compartment,
- plug "cigarette socket power adapter to USB" cable (came with my Mio) into powerlet cigarette socket, & anchor under seat,
- run back wire from power/USB cable back to front of tank,
- drop tank
Power for GPS and my cellphone!
Eric I don't know much about the tomtom rider 2 but I have the Zumo 500.Time to dredge up this thread again.
Has anyone bought, used and would like to comment on the new TomTom Rider 2? I'm looking at this one along with the Zumo 550 as they both compare in features..........
I'm wondering if the price difference between these two makes the Zumo worth the big difference. The biggest feature being the MP3 player, but I don't listen to music while riding. Personal choice.
Thanks all!!
+1I use a Garmin 60 cx, with RAM mount which works excellent.
Reason for me going with the Garmin is they have maps from every country in the world, something TomTom and others still do not have, so in Asia such as Thailand Garmin is the best/only solution.
The 60 cx has realistically 2 full days of battery usage, waterproof, easy to use buttons while riding, fits in your pocket when you stop for a snack, all in all a great product. I bought it from recommendations from the touring experts in Thailand who is GT-Rider (Golden Triangle Rider) and have never ever regretted the buy, got it refurbished from ebay for 207 US$.

Yes Sir! The Powerlet cig adapter has an inline fuse :thumbup:This is the simple way BUT do you have a fuse before the power hits your GPS because I fried my GPS on the Intruder by doing it this way.

Voice activated... nice!
The main reason why I did not even consider the Tom Tom line is because of their design... they are pretty thick (at least the ones I had seen) and have a weird round shape which makes them difficult to mount... is that why you could not find a Ram mount for it?
Hey, why don't you let me take care of that....done!Then give that thread a bump and merge this with it.
I'll do it in the morning.. Tired ATM.
