    Is it 4.3' from corner to corner . What are the dimensions .
    Battery, but has a 12v cig adapter, could be modded. Just needs 5v USB input to charge. Battery life is around 3 hours on GPS.

    the dimensions are

    diagonal outside - 140mm
    diagonal screen - 110mm
    side to side - 119mm
    height - 78mm
    thickness - 16mm.

    Pairs well to Bluetooth. I was thinking about more setting up with FM radio recievers so you can listen to directions without having to look. I can get some nice units from china, but I guess they are $10 units from DSE or Jaycar. Once you have the unit paired to your phone, you can listen to the conversation over the FM receiver, but you'd probably have to pull over for them to hear you on teh mic.

    I tested the unit through some thick material and it worked ok so I guess gloves will be fine.

    In terms of housings, I was going to custom build something, but it would cost extra. I'm talking to the manufacturer alot so they might have something.

    A Navman or TOMTOM that does the same thing is $450 at DSE. I think that I can make it work for a bike for about $350.

    Would also be keen . Does it map your speed like a speedo and also does it have a airplug jack so that it can be used on a bike for directions ?
    Just going my own way

    you can use your cellphone with radio function to hear teh GPS directions. I'm going back to China next week. Need to know ASAP and needt o get money if you're keen. I can organise shipoments at a later date if people want to do it later.
