Chinese 7" truck sat NAV mount modification

[GJH]

They appear to be coming down in price

I think the cheaper ones may come without a Micro SD card. Something to watch out for if comparing deals.

My tomtom 1005 has been consigned to gather dust since aquiring the chinkynav. Tomtom mapping is crap and despite vehicle size still took ridiculour routes whether set to shortest or fastest route.

The information and lane guidance with 2014 maps is so far without fault.

When approaching large motorway interchanges the lane guidance is astoundingly clear unfortunately I cannot photograph the screen on the move but even on ordinary roads the info is so big!

I've rather lost confidence in TomTom after it took me through a 20mph housing estate complete with speed bumps to save 100 yards. It's a pity TomTom don't use the Autoroute system of sliders to set preferences. I always found that that worked really well.

I had the same problem in Holland in 2013. The trouble is, because I had the latest Western European Truck maps, I had 2 x other MH'ers following me, and looking for a local BP filling station.
We got there, but none of us were impressed, and I later discovered that a better route was only about half a mile down the road.

I've not had any problems like that (or any at all really) with my 7" Chinese Truck Sat Nav.

Cheers,

Jock.

We mounted the suction cup of our Garmin on one of these
Fits neatly under the clip board on a Fiat Ducato and is anti slip
The suction cup secures very well to the shiny surface

Broken Link Removed

I put mine inside the speedo console. It covers the rev counter (I don't use) also the fuel gauge, but set the Motorhomes onboard computer so I can see full range, I can see it above the Sat nav unit.
I bought one of those anti slip rubber gel pads you use on the dashboard, cut it in sections that sits behind the nav and secures it in place.
Power lead tucks nicely under the steering column.

I lost faith in any of the sucker type attachments.

Broken Link Removed, in the car I have a piece on the dash and another on the back of phone case to use Co-Pilot, in the van I'll be having a L shaped bracket for the 7" tablet, it'll be fastened to the dash and the tablet by the same stuff, it sticks like the proverbial, but peels off and so far has left no mark or done any damage to dash etc., I also have a small piece on the back of remotes, normal velcro seems to fail to easily.
