Yes,they offer a 5 day free trial, so why not ?
And yes I have a bluetooth dongle...........
I thought of fitting the power outlet up front by the fuses, but I'm not keen to start drilling holes in the Old Girl.......Any suggestions ? Maybe, sideways through the fuse panel, so you can't see the outlet (facing the forks).....?

 

This is how I did the 12V socket:

12V socket from "Biltema" (swedish lowprice store, mainly carparts) 25 SEK ~ 3 euro
I removed the square flat mounting piece, connected cables to the socket with 12V connectors with shrink plastic + melting glue, also supplied by Biltema. Then I put over a pretty big shrink plastic tube over the socket from the connector side, shrinked it, and sealed the end with electrical tape. I then tied the socket around the ignition key socket with plastic tie ribbons (don't know the english word for those), and connected the + cable to the 10A fuse socket for parking/rear lights, and the - cable to ground ( I had a earthing cable pre-installed since I have converted the low beam lights to direct feed from the battery via relay, used that). I guess total amount money for all pieces was less the 75 SEK (8 euro).
I was really confused where to put it, was thinking same as you, side panels, but did'nt want to drill holes either. Then I realized that ideal would be that the 12V socket followed the turning of the handlebars, and the ignition key socket was already doing that, sooo...
I think it turned out allright.

I been using my N95 with tomtom on it in my tankbag for a while, and before that i was using my Pda same software, faultless, comes in handy with the mobile camera updates aswell.. but i just bought a garmin satnav cheap , rigged a 12v waterproof socket same asmikekopbut i removed thefixingplate in the fusebox area, connected to the ignition and i just plug in the power supply and screw the fuse cover back down, stick the satnav to the windshield and off i go,it aint waterproof but it stays dry under there and has worked well so far

 

DAVE71 how do you find the satnav works? does it "keep up" or is slow at finding where you are? its just im considering buying some satnav software when i decide what phone to by . . . . N95 is currently at the top of my list

 

N95 with bluetooth gps reciver works realy well,didnt have a problem once with it , apart from the constant running software eats the battery, so a power supply is a must on the bike [sm=smiley20.gif].

I saw Mikekops bike and GPS-setup with my own eyes the other day, and I can vouch for that it looks great and a good solution.
