  1. Prefer the Rally type screens than the origami looking version TBH, but let’s hope you get on with it.

  3. Didn't have much time today. But at least I will be able to find my way home next time I'm out.

    I gave some serious thought to switching from Sat Nav to Carplay. I really rate Carplay and would always want it in my car; so much so that when I picked up this bike from the North, I made certain to hire a van that had it. But on reflection, not having any need for music on the bike and as I always ignore the 'phone whilst out riding -mostly its turned off- there wasn't much point. I like riding my bike either aimlessly wandering, or distant trips via waypoints with stops & places of interest. Sat Nav is better for that imo. Also the voice control in the car is what makes Carplay for me, and I can't see that being quite the same shouting through my helmet against the wind. I mean Siri's great but it takes her a couple of times occasionally inside the car! And the phone battery hassles...

    Plus I've always got the 'phone there inside the leather to use if needed. No chance of my mounting that on the handlebars. If you come a cropper there isn't an iphone in the world that would survive it, and even if it did, how would I ever find the thing?

    Zumo, already paid for, and loaded with all kinds of useful things will do me fine. I guess I'm stuck in my ways and more of an old git than I realised.
