| I have just fitted a sat nav to my bullet 350 and thought I would share this in case anyone else is thinking of doing the same. It's fitted in a case on the handlebar and worked for a short time and then the screen scrambled. Switched off and on and it was o.k. I found it was the noisy power supply and fitted a filter consisting of an inductor and capacitor and now it works fine. I am not sure what the value the inductor is as I took it from an old PC power supply but the capacitor is 1000uF. If anyone wants more details I would be happy to sort some out. | ||

Strange that you have this problem. I have had two Garmins on my Bullet with no trouble, just plugged into the cigarette lighter power outlet.

| Maybe the Garmin Nuvi is less sensitive than the Drive 50 or maybe its my bikes power regulator being noisy. It seems fine with the filter. | ||

| Could be some RF interference/currewnt induction from the ignition too? My old Jawa was terrible for it, I fitted a digital speedo to it once and it was dead within 15 miles. | ||
