| Been there, done that! In the absence of a paper clip, you just have to let the battery run down and it'll be OK next time you switch it on. Not great if you were planning on using it in the time it t ... |

Hi all,

Bear in mind that the dock could be easily stealable, depending on which mount option you use. Is it a RIDER or RIDER2?

Thanks guys. I was wondering... can you safely leave the dock attached to the bike at all times - even when the TTR isn't there? I'm just wondering how weather-proof the dock is...
TIA

TomTom HOME requires the device to be connected and switched on even during the planning stage and only runs as a 'virtual device'; that is you get a 3.5" screen to work with.
Indeed, and it is p ... |
