Does anyone have a recommendation for a Nav VI cradle that is compatible with a ball mount?

Thanks David - do you perhaps know of any workaround using Smartlink..?

I'm new to the GPS game. Can anyone please advise on how to get a GPX file from my i-phone to my Garmin Nav6..? I've figured out how to use Basecamp to do the same thing, but would like to know if there's a way to transfer/export the file straight to my Nav6 from my phone, without having to go...

Weedkiller - Adie  OomD Ek't intussen 'n ander forum raakgelees waar dieselfde probleem in biejtje meer detail bespreek word en 'n paar interessante voorstelle gemaak word.  Ek's nogal excited om van die scenario's te toets sodra die lockdown vebry is. Lees bietjie hier as julle belangstel: ...

Hey Losper, I'm definitely keen to join on one of your Lesotho trips.  I'll keep an eye on your FB page to see when your next big-bike-trip is planned for. (BTW: I had another look at a few Leostho ride reports and it seems like I might have to get a smaller bike...)

Thanks Roadhawg  - I'll add that one to my list.  Do you perhaps have a .gpx file of that route..?

Haha - this is brilliant; thanks

That sounds like the life, Losper  - enjoy the trip.  I''l try and catch-up with you before you leave on Friday... A.

Thanks for your replies, guys At this point my investigation is more general (as apposed to a trip-specific-plan with details of dates and entry/exit points) - really just wanting to learn about which areas (and routes/roads) are suitable for big adventure bikes at an intermediate riding/skills...

Hey Losper, I'm a newbie on the forum, but I've done enough reading to know that you're the authority on most-things-Lesotho.  So, rather than sending you a DM, I thought I'd start a thread to ask if you (and anyone else, of course) can perhaps recommend the most awesome, scenic and easy...

Thanks for the info guys - will keep following this thread. Also looking at doing a Lesotho trip in April/May with big bikes - hoping to find a few easier routes suitable for bigger/heavier bikes.

Oh, and BTW, here's a chap with a Youtube channel that I found quite handy to get me going with Basecamp and using a GPS in general. https://www.youtube.com/user/jobybyrne I've sent him a DM to see if he can maybe help us as well  ;)

Ja, looks like us BMW-guys are gonna be stuck with Garmin for a while still.  Anyway, we'll make it work for our purposes. I wanted to ask:  are there any Garmin (Nav6) forums you can recommend..?  I've been trawling the net, but there doesn't seem to be much of a community.

Thanks for the notes, OomD - I'll definitely try and export my routes as tracks and see if that makes a difference. In my mind this should be a lot simpler, I don't understand why it's somehow so complicated: once you go off-route and acknowledge that you have gone off route by opting to...

I've recently bought a Garmin NAV 6 with the view to plan routes in Basecamp and then follow these routes on the GPS - I'm slowly finding my way, but I'm essentially a complete novice when it comes to using a GPS and I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice. After weeks of...

Doesn't seem like I'm having any luck with selling this helmet - does anyone want to make me an offer perhaps..?

So as it turns out, I was just being paranoid about all the sounds and vibrations - after a thorough check at Bavarian on Saturday, I was told the bike is in tip-top condition and I shouldn't worry about a thing - these 'minor' vibrations are common characteristics of the 1200. Thanks again to...

As new Shoei Hornet DS (xs) - only ever used twice R3000

Thanks for all the comments, guys. The bike is on its way to JHB  - I'll have it checked out by a technician at Bavarian in Centurion and get an expert (BMW) opinion hopefully. Wish me luck. A.

I'm new to the world of BMW and was hoping to get some advice, please I'm buying a 2017 GS with very low mileage and the bike seems to be in perfect nick at a first glance, but during a test-ride there were a few things which caught my attention, but I've been told these are all normal...
