who has a phone holder? How good are they? What have you got ? And possibly a picture of where you have mounted it? Thanks
Quad lock are great! Make cases which just lock into the bike. I've got some photos on another thread, but you can also get a Telferizer mount and mount it in your yoke.
Mine goes in my pocket or in the case on top my Givi. Never seen a phone adaptor I would trust for use on a bike, but have seen people recommend UltimateAddOn kit before.
I keep my phone in my pocket, smart watch to see whos calling and linked to bluetooth headset to answer if wanted. Don't think I'd trust my phone on my bars.
The quad lock mount survived a full trip to Edinburgh and back on the bars, 10 hours of riding at some good speeds, I would trust it even on the Autobahn now
Must admit I'd not seen them before I started wearing my watch on rides, think that's the way I'd be going if I was still looking for one.
If I was going to buy it again, and I didn't have a satnav on my yoke, I would have mounted it there. On the bars the phone has to be landscape as to not foul the fairings
I have thought about having a phone or sat nav mount but I'd be worried every time I did a big ole stand up nac nac wheelie, that if I put it down a bit to heavy it would just fly off it's mount and smash to smithereens some where on road!!
Thanks for EVERYONES great help Especially selmer50mark and paulo The reason I ask is I use nav mii and it works fine, put it on my helmet intercom and it works fine but then I put my phone in standby mode or whatever you call it so I can’t touch the screen when it’s in my pocket and it stops the navigation
Have you tried using Google maps navigation?? If you start a route off, you can then lock your screen off, put it in your pocket and listen too the instructions through your intercom or earplugs! Most 'apps' will close when you lock the screen, Google maps navigation doesn't do that though!
If you want to stick with that, I can recommend Waze. It's owned by Google so has the same data, but it much better as you can plan a twisty route etc. (It also works when the phone is locked)
You can also try Here Maps. Used to be Nokia and before that NavTeq. I've used it a fair bit, it works on a bike, and can have offline maps.
I was just about to start a similar thread so thanks to search for finding this one. I think from the consensus above i'll be better off ordering some wireless buds and just listen to the audio route.
