What about this type of case

Also if you are going to wire that cable up to your scoot why not try fitting a 12v socket instead then you can use the supplied car charger and also use the socket to charge your mobile etc

Why i did like the tom tom one when i had my car and rated it as a good sat nav i do now prefer the garmin as the better battery life and slightly easier to use although both systems are straight forward, they are both good sat navs but one other problem i had with the tom tom and my father and law said the same if you charge and then store the tom tom for a few days or more it drains the battery as if it never really seems to fully turn off but this is not really a problem if you are going to charge and use at the same time and use it reguarly as leaving the battery low/flat for weeks at a time will shorten the batt life, my garmin i have left for 2 weeks and when i turn it on it still has full charge but im sure you will be happy with either as long as you can attach it securely to your scoot......

I just found my asda recipt it was only £46.00 i payed have you tried your local asda as there not on asda direct but i think there just instore when available.....
-
the thing is tho with that sat nav holder i cant figure out where it would be able to fit on the kymco agility ???
and with the 12V cigarette lighter i dunno where that could possibly sit also!
someone tell me if this would work? if i got a satnav which fits in my pocket and it has a headphone socket would that work? if someone with a satnav would possibly test that for me that would be great because i dunno it it would still get the correct directions or if it would know which driection i was facing

iv just seen that garmin do a blackberry app but its £80 anyone know if it would be worth getting on my phone instead of a sat nav?
-
Yes it would get a signal in your pocket and know which direction you are traveling but the only one i know which has a headphone socket is medion go pal which was a good sat nav in its day and the plus side was it took 4 x AA batteries so if you put a good set of rechargeable in there it would last nearly all day the only place you will find one of them now is used on ebay. Tom tom do a dedicated motorbike sat nav but i think its expnsive uses a bluetooth in ear for sound but i think you have to buy that seperate but you can pick up bleutooth headsets for as little as a fiver.....
