How do you find the Garmin?Did it come with a mounting bracket?

I had an older model zumo a few years ago and it was great until it was stolen Haven't got the Zumo 345 yet but yeah they come with a proper mount and powered cradle for motorbike. You basically wire it direct to battery or to an accessory power distribution gadget if you have one. You'd have an easier time than me with mounting( the v4r has riser bars?) than me, I'm not sure where it's going as the SV is clip-on.

Happy to advise/help where I can, I've had all manner of garmin products over the years.

would a cheap phone with a charger hard wired into the bike and a waterproof mount not be cheaper?

Thanks.Just bought a Multistrada for a bit of touring so fitting it to that.It has a Navihalter mount fitted to it so I think I should be able to mount the cradle to that.

Yep, 4 bolts +wiring and job done

Part of the fun is buying stuff lol. I have a wee box of tricks in the SV so I can have 3 ignition live accessories individually powered and fused rather than hardwire a load of stuff to the battery. I already have a 12v socket mounted neatly in the cowling around my dash, adding the garmin when it arrives.

Nothing can draw power in any way without the bike running, something I consider important while touring in the ar*ehole of nowhere
