Gps

It seems that GPS is too short to search for - anyone got any tips how I can search the forums for it?

I currently have (not on S1000rr) a Garmin Zumo 590LM which is mounted on a Telferizer ball which screws into the stem. Works well. The S1000RR has a more compact dashboard area so ideally I'd like to remove the mount as well as the device if I was not using it but the power cable is fixed to the mount. Is anyone aware of replacement mounts for Garmin devices?

Or any other tips about using a GPS?

Thanks

I have the garmin 350LM I cut the cable and fitted a small connector, as I don't like leaving the cradle on the bike

Try 'garmin + gps' in your search.

What gaffa posted seems like the best idea. The older cradles had a detachable cable from the mount. I had one (can't remember which model) and it was a better setup than the newer mounts with the fixed cable.

Gaffa - what connector did you use, it is a modification I might try on mine.

I found some neat little connectors on eBay. It was awhile ago but I'll see if I can find them.
the other reason I did it that way is that I have more than one bike and use the sat nav in both of them.

Have a look at this item number 252337996376 being pre wired they are easy to use, you will need to tuck them away or put a waterproof sleeve over if you leave it exposed.

i did try the waterproof type but they were crap

Can you post up a photo?
Below attached the Garmin Zumo cradle and cover I have on my 675. Planned to remove and plonk this straight on the BMW.

Photo might not help you much as it's not on an S1K

I'm interested to see how much it blocks on the S1000RR as well

Hi,

Anyone get a chance to take a photo of their mount with and without GPS attached on the S1kr?
