Frequently use the SatNav in cars, but on my bikes I've always been old school when it comes to finding my way i.e. maps before, route notes drawn up and then followed - or not!
Then I saw this and did some research. https://beeline.co/collections/beeline-moto
Decided I'm too tight to fork out the full price and then lighted on this bargain: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335409402225

Have to say after a 100 mile round trip yesterday, I'm a convert. Works as intended and takes all the stress out of route finding. Now just need to supplement the basic device with a £20 universal bracket for the windshield - photos will follow when installed.
Edit: Bracket arrived and install completed, but just before we departed for a short break. Photo will follow when I return home.

pretty slick looking, Neil..nice buy on the used one, too! You'll need to give us a full review when you've used it some more.

Cool piece, but a little bit steep on price.
Google Maps wouldn't be an option to use your phone on a holder?

True Ruffus, but as someone else said, better lose a 75 quid satnav off your bike than a 500 pound iPhone!
BTW it uses Google Maps architecture.

The only way to go. I have a Garmin I mount on Moto Discovery GPS bar. Most of my rides are on back
country roads, riding about 30mph, with little or no traffic. I just ride wherever I feel like, then just hit home
on the GPS to return.
