I use a Beeline and get on well with it. People either gel with it or don’t as it’s literally an arrow with a bit of info on the next junction. You do miss the map sometimes when you fancy doing a quick diversion to avoid a particular area or where there’s two side roads close together and you’re unsure whether you should be taking the first or second one. As with Google maps though, having waypoints to force it to the roads you want to use is key.

Had a fab long weekend, went down to visit friends in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, did nigh on 700 miles on the Beemer.
Finally sorting out what works for me with the sat nav. Multi stops and no motorways seems to head off Google's propensity for re-routing.
Only trouble is after a day's spirited riding with sat nav headphones (and a loud bike), my ears were properly ringing. Note this will be from wind and exhaust not the sat nav as it only speaks once in a while.
I might try one of the Beeline handlebar thingies as I need to protect what hearing I have left.
Reluctant to fit my phone to the handlebars as being an artist my main usage of the thing is for photography and there are many stories of the vibration damaging the camera.
Anyone found a good noise or visual solution to sat nav woes?
