Rodders Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'm looking for recommendations on how to attach my phone to the bars for those trips where I need satnav. My bike has a USB charging port already.Thoughts on safety too. I intend to put the phone on silent but I might also just use an old handset just for the maps and GPS.What waterproof cases and brackets do people recommend?

Hoggs Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I have one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272819293775yes it's cheap but I've put it on and off many times with no issues, case securely clips on and the bar mount is adjustable so should fit all bars. Also been rained on and held up fine.I have a cheap Bluetooth headset too for voice instructions as this stops you looking down constantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I use the RAM bracketshttps://www.ram-mount.co.uk/and these are remarkably waterproof and help stop glare on the screenhttps://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/208905?r=GS&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqaOAzunX2AIVsDLTCh2XsA11EAQYBSABEgJ8ZvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 At a £1.50 I'll be giving one a go as well, top bargain hunting [mention]Hoggs[/mention] ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestrivens Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I use a Quadlock system with my iPhone in a Quadlock case that fits to different brackets. I have one on my motorbike, one on my push bike and one in each car. Means that I only need one satnav, i.e. phone. I use Waze as my primary satnav but also Scenic for the motorbike. The has blue tooth to the Schuberth C4 helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I think it's a fiver or so for most phone models but still decent value.

onesea Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I used lidls best headset at £20 for first 2 years no issues.Just place your speakers above your ears with in a few mm.Having tried various SatNav positions you want it high up. Above Speedo and rev counter if possible.At £1.50 I would try one but in time you might want it more in view. Depending how much you use it...
