In which case, try Sygic on your 'phone. (I've tried all the others). It's worth paying for but just use the free version for now.

Get used to it before going on to play with voice access.
And then we get to the song, "there's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza!"

As I haven't got a phone holder! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
 
Quite! Try typing in "Villeneuve D'Asq" or somesuch without taking your eyes off the road much.
Mad! :mad::mad::mad:
I agree. You shouldn't be allowed to fiddle with either a mobile nailed to the dash or a factory fitted satnav either. My phone stays in my pocket when driving except for when it's in satnav mode in which case it's in it's holder and the only time i touch it is to turn it off after i've arrived. I don't have 'connectivity' so if i get a call, i just ignore it. Given that 99% of my mates just text and it would say who it was from. If it doesn't then it's probably some snot trying to scam me or sell something so i'd ignore it anyway.
 
It doesn't look like you've received a solid answer yet so;
right now I have a Ram mount long arm connected to the side of the binnacle (I have the Raptor steel binnacle housing) but I'm going to modify a mount to move it to the top of the windscreen frame.
I'll get pix of my current set up later.

Before the firewars flare up again, my iPhone is my speedometer/odometer for now as well as the satnav for the rare occurrence I need it.
I'm keen on someone texting whilst driving a Series though. 🐙
 
As above, RAM ball mount bolted to the top of the windscreen frame, with a RAM arm mount to grip the phone. Doesn't move at all, vibrates a bit at idle but once moving it's perfectly still.

Easily viewable without being in the way of anything.

Aren’t you missing an interior rear view mirror though.
 
Depends what you class as missing... there hasn't been one there in my ownership, and only one mirror is needed in my case.

It would have had a rear view mirror. U.K. legal require for that age is probably min of 2 mirrors. Either 2 wing or 1 interior + 1 wing

An internal rear view mirror would be of no use in a Landy that you can't see out of the back of, like my 101 ambulance for example. I'm pretty sure the only legal requirement is one on the driver's side.


Ha ha, presses 'post reply', scrolls up and reads the post above... AND stands corrected... Two it is then 😁
 
I'm inclined to say that webpage is misleading and/or poorly worded.

The MOT inspection manual would be my go-to (and is when I'm doing an MOT inspection).

Regardless, I've got two mirrors.

MoT is a check it isn’t the underlying regulation as a rule. Suspect this is buried in the Construction & Use Regs somewhere. As for misleading. It reads clear enough and is published on the .gov website. So I’d assume likely a good reliable source.
