TomTom Mounted on a MP3 500

I had the mount for my motorcycle and thought I would make it work with my MP3 500. The bracket is not the right size but it works well, very solid.

That's cool, I'm getting one here in a couple of months, are they easy to maintain, like whats the most frequent maintenance it needs done. Good video BTW.

Frankly there is no maintenance other than charging the batteries. When I get around to it I need to hook it up to the bike's power supply. I am currently running off the built in TomTom batteries which is good enough for me but for longer rides (>5 hours) I would run out of power.

Are you still able to see the Odometer and all? It looks like the TomTom is blocking it. I don't think I would like to block the gauges like that.

Thanks so much. That was very helpful. I'm looking into the nav unit that's intended for the machine. (Mine's black). I'm in Canada and parts can take a couple of months to get at this point.

I have been thinking about getting the MP3 500 but live in a hilly / mountainous area. Do you know how well it pulls grades? I don't want to get stuck doing 20mph up a steep hill.
