Cheapest sat nav (gpx) for a bike

[vickster]

I have an 800 with full maps. It's not easy to follow but is feasible

A beep is fine. I'm not a hardcore cyclist. Just looking to easily follow a route

Looks like it would be perfect for you.

Thanks. Like the idea of a phone battery but I'm guessing the cost of a mount plus the battery will work out the same price ?

Nope. £25 all in.

I've used the straps myself with my own smartphone. It wiggled a bit but otherwise perfectly secure.

Edit: The obvious issue with this would be waterproofing. Cling film maybe?

Garmin Edge 20 is what you need. Will also save your phone battery as you can use it for Strava too.

Or you could get an Edge 200 second hand that will be even cheaper (but you have to plug that into the computer if you use it for Strava)

Maybe an old Edge 510 - they are pretty decent for following routes and offer wireless uploads.

Use a phone app like osmand which turns the screen on for turns, then off again. Or use voice prompts.

wow. at 51p delivered those straps are worth a try. I cannot quite see how they work though? they seem to fix round the bars then provide two loops,,,,

You can put a route into a Lezyne macro, which can then give you turn by turn directions, £79.99.

 

[Heltor Chasca]

Wahoo Mini for £79.00.

Should make a nice back up for larger devices too.

Put strap on bars, hold object on strap, pull the back loop under bar and stretch over the front of the object (which is above the front loop), pull the front loop under bar and stretch over the back of the object.
