Is that an offline app Steve?

Yes, you can download maps so that it can be used offline @mjgt

Thanks mate, I rode through Cwmbran today should have thought to let you know I was coming over the water I suppose, so you could be out (before anyone else jumps in).

Here We Go is excellent. Mercedes,Audi, BMW also thought so, they paid big bucks into it. Waze is another thats good. They both combine with Google Maps, its far away the best. In Australia i mean.

This may not apply down under, but in the U.K., one has to be careful using Waze, as strictly speaking (according to the law) its an application, not a Sat Nav, and using an application on the move is illegal.

The reason being is that Waze has adverts. And that's what makes it illegal on the move in the U.K.

(Mate of mine who is a traffic cop told me the above - although he did also say that they advise people if caught, as many don't know). So no biggie.

I'm over the water at least once a week Notty, I'll give you a shout next time.

I have no idea where a 660 fits in the range - I have a 550 and its pretty good.

The only time I look at it is when stopped or a quick glance to tell me which general direction to head. 
No Bluetooth to helmet and all that rubbish for me.

I'm convinced mine is stuck in 'taxi mode' as it takes the longest, stupidest routes possible to get anywhere.

[Tony Nitrous]

Having used my phone for maps on the bike for several weeks I'm convinced it's the way to go for me.

I may try other app's etc but it's very handy and I much prefer it to my older sat nav's.

[grog]

Agree.

Someone might have mentioned this here, but the older Garmins (my old Nuvi 360 in the car for example) used to have a screen calibration where IIRC you pick the four screen corners and it realigns where you touch.
Try Googling Garmin Screen recalibration.

[Speedy1959]

You are correct Dusty..
But I finally gave up on the Garmin Zumo 660 as it was totally unresponsive, and to be honest the screen graphics looked very primitive..
I splashed on on a TomTom Rider 550 from Sportsbikeshop.
Very good price and a superfast delivery..
The TomTom cable is MUCH neater than the Garmin was.. In fact the size of the cable actually put me off installing it.

How times change
Instructions written on a sheet of paper taped to the tank used to be perfectly ok.

Speed camera warning is excellent though !

When it's 932K's (578 miles) to meet your mates in the pub on a Saturday night,
It's nice to know how far the next petrol station is and decide stop or carry on....

I use a Garmin Nuvi 250 probably about 10 years old while on the 1400, I plans trips using Tyre free software off the internet, works great, I'm sure Snapey is still using it.

[Hooli]

I use tyre too.
