husoi Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 If it were me... if my 660 died tomorrow.I would get something like this... ready to go. fit it in 20 minutes and all done.Screen Shot 2020-08-18 at 12.16.27.png Nah, If I go for a dedicated device it will be the new Zumo XTexpensive yes but should last a few good years.Then when I get lost at least I can see it on a big screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerontious Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 so your choice is spend £429 +/- or not. I would just get one on 0% finance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll be doing much riding this year so any purchase will be done next year.At the end, considering the bad experience I had before, I'll be getting one yes.

Throttled Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I have used both my phone and a car sat nav I was given, in waterproof holders and they were fine. It was only when I got a bike specific sat nav that I found the difference in screen visibility is HUGE! The phone in a holder was a struggle to see at times, but the bike specific one is easily readable all of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezin Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Have to say I'm struggling to see a compelling, killer reason for a dedicated satnav here. Phone map apps are light years ahead of just a few years back. Power and screen visibility are not insurmountable issues. Then again, I'm just an old tightwad.

Marino Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 There is always solution, cheep, no battery needed, not waterproof but you can manage it By the way, using main routes in Eu is easy e=en without navigation, you just need to know where would you like to go which direction.In Italy and Croatia road signs are monkey proof and really hard to screw up.
