Bike Mounts
posted by cw on Monday, June 19, 2006We have had a number of enquiries from mountain bike riders and cyclists who want to have ViewRanger on their handlebars so that it can be used in a way similar to an in-car satnav.
First of all, there is a setting in ViewRanger to disable the phone's screensave function. This will allow your handset to show ViewRanger's screen display continuously. (Battery life is obviously reduced, but we've had Nokia phones run for 11 hours whilst navigating a route with screen always on and a bluetooth gps receiver connected).
Secondly, you may want to have a look at the RAM Mounts range of mounting solutions. In particular, the splash/mud proof AQ3 case has a clear and flexible cover so that you can see/operate your phone handset without removing it from the case.
There are several tube mount options - but the RAP-274 Rail Mount is possibly the smallest.

Have got an N70 with viewranger and bought the recommended bike attachements for my road bike, brilliant absolutely brilliant. Really good with looking at the maps to see where you are going, the route view could do with being bigger in regards to your speed. Great product and great bit of bike kit.
