Well since posting have been busy researching and found this very helpful site...
Login(Zumo forums)
...and have now invested in a Zumo590 and a Touratech locking mount...
Handlebar mount for Garmin ZUMO 590 LM *lockable* black - Touratech GPS brackets - GPS accessories - Navigation | Touratech Ltd
...to hopefully keep it secure!
First impressions are very good, using it in portrait mode in the car and landscape on the bike is handy. Seems to recalculate your route within a few vehicle lengths if you divert. Not got audio set up on the bike yet or had time to play with basecamp or other mapping options yet but will get around to this when time allows.
The Touratech mount is a work of art and seems to hold the unit nice and steady. It wouldn't take long for someone to unbolt the whole thing off the bike but at least it will prevent a quick grab while you are paying for fuel etc.
Am off on a tour of Britain next week so will be looking at loading up some routes before I go and giving it a decent test. Fingers crossed!
Ps. Is replying to your own posts the same as talking to yourself?:confused1:
