Becker Sat Nav for Bikes

[davemac250]

Has anyone seen/used Beckers new waterproof Sat Nav?

I saw an article in German press about it, but was in German and whilst I can get the idea of what the article means, technical German is not the easiest thing to understand.

Said it would be under 300 euro and glove friendly.

I have been onto their site and it looks OK, but i ahven't found an independent test in English.

Anyone used Becker's in the past, experience of what the interface, mapping is like in comparison to TomTom or Garmin?

Thanks

I have, but the difference in price is huge.

Was wondering if this was either good value, or cheap and nasty? From the car stuff I was leaning towards the former, just a bit dubious over the robustness of the unit.

Blimey. those prices are way different to what I have seen here.

Garmin and Rider2 close to 600 euro.

The Becker was (in the article) being suggested at 300 euro.

For something that I'd use irregularly - cars have factory systems in them - I wasn't going to go for the 600 euro option.

Guess next visit to the UK might be the time to buy one.

It did put me off that the Becker is discribed as having an attractive crocodile design on the web page???
