Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Morgan POIs for navigation systems

I will visit this strange island, where you see Mogs all over and where most of the cars drive on the wrong side of the roads (but not at 5 PM, then they drink tea)to visit a small town, where they drive up precious handmade cars on a thrilling hill end of september, so I would like to know, if there exists POI (point of interests) for garages etc. for Threewheeldrivers to import in navigation systems (TomTom etc.) or a written list to keep with me in the case of ...

Not going too well, is it ...

I rather doubt anyone has done one.

While these days there is seemingly a preponderance of sat nav systems, and most people with them do make a list of places to visit, but I doubt many have more than a couple of dealers on them. Make a list of dealers and their postcodes from Miscellany and when you get your UK sat nav, just enter it in. The UK postcode which is used by sat navs here, is accurate to location within usually 100 yards and sometimes better.

Some of us though are luddites, and don't have a sat nav.

I bought a mount from Amazon and I use it with my 7 in Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and Google Navigation (now built into Google Maps). I can post photos later on of the setup.

OK, here are some photos as promised. This is in the most centered position so it is easy to see while driving, but if you have a copilot, you can angle it more towards them so they can use its other functions while driving.

Looks neat!

Thats the way I fixed a TomTom Rider (a navigation kit designed for Motorbikes, waterproof and clear screen also in the sun, no loudspeaker, talks with you via a bluetooth unit in your ear or in your helmet, also "understands" your phone for freehand-phoning). With this TomTom, I am able to import my own POIs without problem, I can see them on the screen and I can navigate to them. The mounting unit is RAM, a system from the USA (?) for Motorbikes, so you will find a lot of different stuff to meet your needs. It gets 12 Volts from the car.

Very neat installation there. I've got one of those for my bike...great bit of kit although I wish they would hurry up and develop the car cradle for it!

Did you get anywhere with your original request for POIs?

Hi Jays,

as far as I know there is a cradle for the TomTom Rider with included loudspeaker for "normal" cars and no, I still have no POIs for Morganstuff in the UK.

Go here on the Morgan factory site and press "view dealer list"

On my PC it defaults to the UK, but might not if you are looking elsewhere in the world.

You get a list of UK dealers. Taking the first one alphabetically, Allon White Sports Cars Ltd, use the listed postcode MK43 0BS and input that to the sat nav. And repeat for the others. That's all most people would do, although I doubt many have all the dealers entered.

Yes, you can do better than the postcode, but it's good enough. Post code locations are usually good to 100 yards or better and only one of the ones I looked at was that far.
