It's one of those personal preference things, I've used tomtoms and garmins and the BMW badged garmins as well as some cheapy ones. Of all the ones I've used the garmins are my faves.

by the way did you get the running prob with your BCR sorted?

I have garmin nouvi, works fine, came from a place in newton abbot, i will see if i can find name, cheapest place in the country at the time i got mine.

Satnav easy is the people I got mine from.

+1 for Garmin Nuvi, never let me down. Now regularly used on the bike for European tours behind the screen on the GS.

One anomaly of the car-satnavs is that the power connection is usually a mini-usb.

If you install the satnav on a bike, you may find that the cable/plug is a bit fragile sticking out the back of the unit.

There is some outfit who sell a right-angled mini-usb fitting - so it is less likely to bust off. Well worth the few quid they cost, methinks
