MAPPY mini 340 Motorbike GPS for Europe | Pixmania

Yes, I have one of these, ( a 330 so a bit older) mappy moto mini. Fantastic bit of kit for the price, but with one weak point.

The mappy is a waterproof unit, ( believe me It's been well tested by me in the rain!), and the screen quality is very good for the price. It's quite a small screen, but it's easy to read and you can easily stick it in your pocket when you take it off the bike. The software is highly intuitive and easy to use, and the touch screen sensitivity is excellent.

The software now comes with various language commands, ( mines in french). The blue tooth kit that comes with it works well, and the speaker quality is very good.

Unlike some GPS you can't plot a route off line and up load it.

I see the mounting kit has been updated, and this was the weak point on mine, the plastic clip that held the unit in the mounting ( top in picture) broke off after 18 months, so I had to make a 'bodge' fix, but it works. I haven't yet been 'led up the garden path' by any false directions, and i've used it in 4 different countries.

For the price it's exceptional (IMHO).

Awesome!
Thanks been looking for one for a while and this is a third of the cost of some and for starting out with trip round Europe it seems a good choice thanks for the input pongo!:thumbup1:
