I have figured out how to get a gps map working on my phone and now i need to attach it to my bike.

I've seen a bag attached to the frame up by the stem (on a pic on the "where did you ride today" thread) and if this has a see through puch on the top i would likem to buy one.

Anyone know about these things?

pro's and con's

    I use one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/topeak-phone- ... 41895153b7

    Slim and compact but waterproof. I have the iphone version but it fits my Samsung Galaxy s3 mini fine. They do two sizes one for 3-4 inch phones and one for 4-5 inch phones.

    Neither a holder nor a frame bag though.

    But yes they are a good product.

    Google Sport Pursuit . They have mounting cases/brackets like armor-x or life edge. Hope this helps.

    Ride everywhere, To/from work(12hrs work a day/5 days a week) and still the energy to hit the trails.

    Huh? - they are phone holders with mounts for the bike which is what the OP requested.

    I suspect he was being a pedant. Don't worry, you get used to it ;)

    I went and bought a cheapy on ebay for £5 just to see if i could get on with it. It was far better than i expected and my phone was bone dry after a 25 mileride with random showers.
