Revainrating 5 out of 5

Screen looks good and touchscreen works well

I travel a lot to the US and ALWAYS need GPS on my bike to navigate everywhere. It arrived quickly and matched my Garmin perfectly. I wanted the screen to be as close to the front guard as possible, so I stuffed as much padding behind it as possible and pulled the cover over the front of the GPS (nuvi 1300). The screen looks good, the sensor works well. Thankfully, the nylon strip sits right on top of the power button, so turning it on and off is convenient. Not sure how this might affect other devices? My battery isn't that good and I only have 40 minutes max so I need a constant power supply so I cut and soldered a small power connector so I can take it off the bike right on the handlebars. Clip without having to unzip the zipper every time. There's a 3 amp mini and USB power kit here for about $10 that I hooked up to my bike. It puts out loads of power and comes with 2 cables - so I now have a USB port in the glove box for my phone and one in the front for my GPS :) You will need to tighten the plastic nut as this can cause bumps in the road to your Device will fall a little. Pros: Perfectly installed. The processing looks high quality. All parts seem capable of handling rough roads and inclement weather. Don't get milky after some sun and rain. At least with a fully enclosed case, your device is protected from dust and water. I cut the foam on the back to make room for my angled USB cable - works like a charm!
