- we don`t want a central GPS system with voice in helmet
- we need a good visual one (with clear screen) to be used by the passenger (pillion) only.
So I (=the pillion) can check out the route at ease and guide the driver.
We thought about a GPS that can be mounted on one of the side bars.
Our motorcycle is a BMW1200GS.
Many thanks for your input!

I will ask the question many will be thinking of.
What is your reasoning behind this?
All your "don't wants" are the same as all my "do wants"
My best answer would be any of the "motorcycle" friendly units will work as pretty much all have large good clear screens, good size buttons.
I personally rely entirely on sound commands when sat nav is used for finding my way through cities ect... But of course this only works if you set a destination. How well it would work if you were to be feeding information from pillion to rider in a busty city? Not sure I would get along with that method too well. My wife and I would fall out very quickly doing that method
Good luck with your idea, some one may well have done it, be interested to see.
