Hi, it's this one. search.app?link=https%3A%2F%2Fultimateaddons.com%2Fcollections%2Fgopro-motorcycle%2Fproducts%2Fgopro-hero-motorcycle-action-camera-mounts-25mm-ball-mounts&Csh%2Fx%2Fgs%2Fm2%2F4. Not sure if it can rotate while you ride as you'd have to loosen it off, turn it, tighten it back up?

@HalfManHalfPirate 15 күн бұрын
Hiya, thanks for the compliment 👍 it's much appreciated. My GPS is a Google Pixel 7 phone which I use just for this. It's waterproof and has wireless charging. This sits in a wireless charger that I bought off eBay that clips into the BMW nav mount. I run Calimoto as the mapping software but you could use any e.g. Google Maps, Waze etc. I just tether my personal phone to this one for data use and my personal phone stays in my pocket. You could use your main phone in the holder if you want though.

@@HalfManHalfPirate thank you very much with this details... i have my main phone in my pocket too, i have a Lamicallla phone mount with my second phone and i prefer as mapping software Google Maps and Osmand, is Callimoto working good , didnt try it yet.... ah i forgot Wikiloc, its my learning all around places mapping software, i check out motorbikers are where to go or where should i ride....
@HalfManHalfPirate 15 күн бұрын
@@mustafakorkut9897 Calimoto is good for finding twisty routes but can take you down goat tracks! It has a web based planner which I use and then I adjust the route to suit me. It then appears on the phone app, it's also the only app I know where you can have one part of your route set to highway, the next bit twisty, the next bit no highway etc. You can also plan routes on the phone app. I think they do a trial but it's constrained to your local area, then you pay a yearly subscription if you like it.

It was a bit of a wait, that one was after staying in Hotel Serendipity in Italy, I think half filling up in the evening is a great idea. The group was running late that day due to the crash earlier in the day so I think everyone bundled into the hotel for beers and food.

The military establishment (which is now flats) was the old home of the Royal Marines Band Service. It was also a Royal Marines Depot until 1991. This is where they trained/lived until The IRA targeted the building with a time-device in September 1989, killing many. 😢😢 The place ceased to be a military base from 1996 onwards.
