Well chuffed ... have a HTC sensation Xl .. found a fantastic free Sat Nav on the android market called nav man .... ordered a waterproof bag with bar mount from amazon .. bought a 12v waterproof socket for 18.99 and then just ordered a charger lead for 1.99

and also a right angled power lead

I had a look for your nav man app: I could only find navfree. Am I missing something?

I've got Navfree. Seems OK, though I've not used it in anger yet.

I can second what's been said about Navfree, for free it's excellent.

One thing to note, it used to have post code search, and that disappeared on the last update.

There was an update to it yesterday which I think brings post code search facility back, but haven't downloaded it to test yet.

A feature I often use is the google search within the app - a quick and easy way of finding places if you don't know the address fully eg pubs, hospitals (in that order generally)

Downloaded it this morning & just installing the postcode update now.

Looks pretty decent for the money.....

co pilot is pretty good. I like the way I can set up different values for the car and the bike. Another big plus is the ability to have 7+ way points on the route, my Tomtom only lets you have 3 or so
