Phone on your bike - nokia 6110 ?

[Ozboc]

Greetings guys - i am going for a ride later this year with a mate - should be about 3000 - 4000 kms - i have a GPS phone , the nokia 6110 - and i am interested in mounting it on the steering head or anywhere like that - do any of you guys have this phone and have it mounted on your bike ?

if so can you give me an idea of where to get the bits and pieces and maybe even a photo ? - looked on ebay but only found dodgey phone holders

thanks

I have a tank bag with a clear pocket on top.....works a treat and protected from the elements as well.

Greeting , well that was kind of going to be my next question - where did you get your bag from and how much - the only prob when using a bag is that the GPS on the phone really drains the battery hard and after about 1 - 2 hours it will totally drain the phone -- so still have a charging issue -- but i do need a bag - so can you give me some details of your bag ? thanks

If you can load a text to speech gps programe to your phone,you don't need to see the screen as the gps will guide you via street name's. all you need is some head phone's & leave it in your pocket.
You can also run a cigerette lighter socket from the battery for charging.I do this with my nokia n95 phone with built in gps. work's great.

Bruce built a really good lighter charger system for our trip. You could ask him how he did that.

I mounted this lighter socket onto the inner panel on my K8 for the trip around Australia.


From there I ran a multiple socket (4) lighter connection into the tank bag. This kept everything out of the rain and charged my GPS, telephone, IPOD etc.

All the bits were from Supercheap

hi Ozboc,
I have a bagster tank cover and bag combo about $500 all up in the colour of your bike, or previously and still have it in the shed a multi fit magnetic tankbag i used on a few bikes it also has the clear map pocket for phones etc....the nav phones will need sky view to work Gps effectivley so tank bags are ideal.
