Still in the box...won't be getting put on until Austria.

I'd suggest testing it prior. What's the worst that can happen ?

Remember that data roaming charges are plummeting for 2016 at 4 pence per mb or often free on Three or bundles

Given my experience getting round Jakarta in a thunderstorm on a moped using that I can testify it works well!

Loss of street cred...I'm revered around these parts...Sat Navs are for losers...  

I've used a car sat nav in a case and also a dedicated bike sat nav, both Garmins. They have their foibles and the Basecamp software can be an arse to use until you get used to it. Both worked with gloves on I seem to remember. No experience of using phones as a sat nav though

Thanks for the input guys, did some working out and decided iPhone was stupidly expensive in reality and as Apple wind me up half the time I decided I couldn't live with one let alone the search for a case that worked with my gloves....
Garmin 590 now in my possession as it does everything I want and will control my Garmin camera, takes a memory card for the MP3 player or will control the media player on my phone, can route calls through so I can control the phone from the nav rather than my intercom.
Once installed the Zed should be ready for adventures now it has the Ventura kit on and the Tankbag has arrived. France in July has all the airs of very enjoyable and comfy trip now..
