This might be a really simple one to answer (I've googled and found nothing) but does anyone produce a motorbike mount for the TT GO720?

RAM-Mounts so, see here.

You can get the part numbers of the US site then order in the UK from www.ram-mount-uk.com .

Thanks Darren, the UK site does the mount but doesn't list a holder for the TomTom - I may have to give them a call

You'll want to stick it in a plastic bag too. The 720 is not shower proof.

Mine goes in a tank bag with sound routed via FM to headphones in the helmet. Does mean I can't upgrade to the latest application code as they've disabled directions over FM Rolling Eyes

Hi how are you providing power to the 720?

Talking of slinging t in a bag, I still wish Tom Tom would implement a mobile phone-style screen lock option to the software. I tried to use mine from my bag on my first few trips to the London office on my electric bike. At one point I had somehow re-routed to Yorkshire and was going completly the wrong direction.

I can understand there might be safety issue with it. i.e. if it was locked and you were trying to unlock it at speed or similar. However if it asked you if you were sure, then asked if you were really sure then if you were really really sure you wouldn't mind too much as you're about to sling it in a bag anyway.

Hmm, the car devices aren't intended or designed for use such as you suggest so you could forgive them omitting such a feature?

Progress of technology? My old PDA in its ruggedised case with TTNav could do all that and through a bluetooth earpiece or a plug in earphone and is still used on my bike and similarly with Memory Map in boats and cross country.

Darren, I do agree that it isn't really a car related feature. And I wouldn't scream for it as such but I also occasionally use the device when walking. I did it some time ago navigating on foot back to accomodation in Stockholme in the early hours. Would have been good not to have it in my hand but in my pocket.

That said i'd sooner they fixed some of the stuff we already have instead. Based on current additional features it would probably lock but not unlock and support would tell us it would be fixed in the next release Laughing

And MrT has just given me a great idea to use my old TTN6 and my MDA Pro which are gathering dust on my shelf here. Cheers MrT!
