Im waiting for the arrival of my scala solo rider headset ,but want an app for a satnav to use with this devise,any ideas guys.thankyou in advance.
There are plenty of free that are good like Waze. I use Tom Tom as I like using no data and speed cameras as well but you pay for that. I have Tom Tom for all of Europe and the US and it's always been good, low battery consumption, no data and it works abroad and speed cameras. Works fine with bluetooth, even with the screen off and just voice commands. I did some US days of maybe 6-7 hours riding with Tom Tom running and music on my iPhone and never had battery challenges which is pretty good, I think the app running is isolation to data and being GPS efficient helps. It is a paid app but you get what you pay for. The free sat nav from Apple or Google also work fine it has to be said. Depends what phone or device you want. I also have a Zumo 660 Garmin dedicated and this is great product as well. It's the centre of my gadget world touring, runs the satnav, cameras, music, phone all through my headset.
I use Navigon myself. I think TomTom is more intuitive, but you can't plan routes on a PC with the app version. More info on the planning functionality in the link below. http://ducatiforum.co.uk/f6/best-current-sat-nav-mutli-19180/#post295838
A few years ago I had access to Tom Tom mobile on a Nokia phone. I never used it I've always been able to find where I want to go. Having said that I have downloaded an App "M8" which is free. I had to go to London yesterday and find someones house At the end of the A1 I stopped and used it It took me straight there and warned me of all the fixed camera sites.Coming back I just followed the road signs and got to look at the sceneryM8 appears to have a lot of features that might be useful to an avid satnav user
Will it work through a bluetooth head,sorry for sounding abit thick but im new to the Bluetooth head set toy lol,thankyou for your help
Bluetooth headset needs to support the A2DP protocol, which basically diverts anything that'd normally go through the speaker to the headset. Some lesser headsets only support the hands-free protocol, which diverts phone calls to the headset and nothing else. Not sure which protocol your headset supports. EDIT - found a PDF manual online. Page 3 suggests you can listen to MP3s, meaning A2DP is supported.
