I am planning to fix the bag on the tank just like a tank bag. All this will be done in may .
Well the result of the waterproof test is here. Its not 100% waterproof just because of zip chain only. The fabric and the transparent layer used to built it is 100% waterproof. I test it in bathroom shower for one min in full shower speed and then check inside. I found some trace of water inside that goes inside from zip part of the bag but the rest material is good. The fabric used to make bag has plastic like thing coated from inside so no entrance of water from there. So in case of heavy rain I will put the GPS device in plastic and tape it then pack in bag.

One more factor which cause harm to the device is dirt & dust on the road. So this bag has good build quality and well pack of the GPS unit and prevent it from dirt & dust which is more likely to be on roadside on biking and attacking the device every second.

You can get 1:2 cigarette socket in the market which u just put in single socket it will divide into 2.

Congrat man, Nice to see it. Does your deice has voice guidance system? So u wont have to look up the screen again and again. Only look once when voice guidance tell u to make turn.


Aditionally Bluetooth features make this device double working gadget. It work as bluetooth handsfree so when there is a call when you are riding the GPS screen will pop up with Called ID and ring. You can reply or reject call directly from the device.
