Re: What XT case to get

My R1250RT has a quick release mechanism so my XT gets taken off in seconds and put in my top box, panniers or pocket depending. I know you can buy a lock for the quick release, but a top of the range sat-nav in full view on an unattended bike is way to much of a tempting target and the scrotes don'...

Re: GPS Tracker (so the missus knows where I am)

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but why not use the Find My app that comes on every iPhone? And there's a similar app for Android phones Find my device But do the two talk to each other? I've got an iPhone, my better half an Android? If the answer is yes it seems like we've already got ...

GPS Tracker (so the missus knows where I am)

I'm planning an Autumn SS1000 (1,000 mile in under 24hrs). It's not the first time I've done this and not unreasonably my better half likes to keep an eye on my progress.

Re: XT Wishlist

Can you add a Safety Lanyard, or at least an inbuilt loop that you can thread one through to the wish list. My cycling Garmins have them, why don't their motorcycling ones have them as well?

Vibration

Hi All, I have a BMW F800GT and one of the known issues with them is that the engine isn't exactly the smoothest going and the vibrations off it have been known to kill the optical stabilisers on iphones (if you use them as a bar mounted Sat Nav). Weary of this I'm looking at buying a Zumo XT but un...
