Which one for a motorcycle

[SpeedDemon]

I am in the market for a Navman iCN series (5r10, 520, 630, 650) and want to use it handheld and on my motorcyle.

I want a model that does spoken directions either with a pair of headphones or via a bluetooth headset.
It must be capable of having european maps installed either on a smartcard (MultiMedia card as used in my Nokia 9300) or via a USB cable.

As it may be used in adverse weather conditions it MUST be waterproof (resistant is no good) and be able of being mounted in a bracket on the bike for continour power.

Any thougfhts/recomendations.

Oh and its my 1st time here so please be nice to me

alot of bikers go for somthing like the Garmin units as they stand up good to the vibrations of the bike. TomTom are brining out a tomtom rider which is as the name sounds dedicated to work on a motorcycle. I will hopefully write a review on the rider when i get my hands on one, will try it on my CBR 600f

Thanx for your reply Stevie, after talking to Navman the 600 series Navman units need 240v or 12/24v to operate, so are not handhelds like the 510 & 520. Iv looked at the TomTom rRider which looks ideal but I dont want a unit shaped like the other TomTom units as the're tooo bulky.

The Navman iCN is the ideal size weight, and the 520 has more advanced mapping software. They are also looking at bike mounts as they are receiving an ever increasing demand for them.

I shal go for the Navman iCN 520, unless anyone has other suggestions....
