GPS connection

[Boanerges]

On the wiring diagram for the 8v it shows a GPS coupling.
Where do I find it, or is it just a spare port from the fuse box?

I've read that there is a cable tucked away under the right side cover (up by the handlebars) - don't know if this is true but have heard that it is there...

 

[Boanerges]

Behind the "wing", or where the horn is?

I will explore....

On the Stelvio it is a standard Tomtom plug , about 12mm square with a green plastic innerholding the terminals. It is on the left side cable tied to the fairing frame. Look up from the left fork.

Please tell me now that I have hard-wired my TomTom to my Griso 4V that there is not a standard plug somewhere...

Ok, I give up. Where is it in the photo?

OK, New photo.

You can see the green connector (circled in red) hanging there from the wire. Initially (I hope I can remember correctly, this is an old picture) it was tucked to a hole or cavity in front of the horn (see the arrow). I pulled it out, let it hang there and took the picture.

Then I cut the two binders (marked with cross) and the wire is long enough for the connector to reach my tomtom attached to the steering bar.

It is easily accessible. All you have to do is to remove the right side cover by the fuel tank.

Edit: Picture was missing, added.

I want to add a similar connection to my 2v Griso 1100. Anyone got a 8v wiring diagram to show where/how the other end of the Sat Nav cable is connected? Is it switched on/off by the ignition key? Which fuse does it run off?

from http://mggriso.guzzitech.com you can download (see Manuals) both 8v and 1100 service manuals. There is a wiring diagram in the service manual.

In Griso8V the connector is "7. GPS coupling"

Thanks everyone, I finally sorted it today.
Green TomTom plug was easy to find, the work of few moments to snip off and fix my garmin plug (posi-tite connectors, genius).
Now my Zumo gets power as soon as the engine starts to run.
Kellermann Micro 1000 indicators and H&B Pannier rack fitted.
Agostini exhaust on order next pay-day.
Pictures soon....

Am I right when i say that there's no fuse for this connector. It seems it leads straight to the generator. I wonder what would happen if there was a short circuit in the GPS or the cable itself.

 

[Brian UK]

Unless the models differ very considerably in the wiring, the GPS socket is powered from fuse A. Well it does on the Norge.

 

[Boanerges]

Garmin lead had a fuse built in. There is plenty of space behind the panel for the slack cable, coiled up and held with cable ties.

 

[Gmart]

does anyone know where to aquire a plug end that can be used to connect the supplied plug to a Garmin ? or just the female adapter that could be spliced to whatever you want to use it for? I'm not sure what the green connector is called? i see gf10 on it but havent had any luck finding anything like it.

 

[klaas123]

The green connector fits TomTom, if you use an other brand GPS just cut it off.

 

[Gary]

I searched for ages on the net for the female 'Tomtom socket'.
I reasoned that if someone was making a plug then they would also make a socket.................no seems not, although there is one on the Tomtom satnav. I emailed Tomtom for an answer, all I got was "if it's not in our accessories list we dont do it". I then cut it off and extended it to where I needed it.

...been looking into this myself - looks like the green socket is for the Tom Tom Rider so a different connection from any other (car) Tom Tom (mini USB). As I have a Tom Tom XL for my car, does anyone know if its a question of simply snipping off the green plug then connecting the end of a spare mini USB cable so I can charge my XL?

I don't really want the expense of another satnav unit so was hoping to find a way of fudging what I currently have (accpeting its not bike designed or waterproof!).

Thanks for any pointers.

The connector diagram should be a quite simple neutral + voltage one. Once you've cut the connector use a voltimeter, label the cables and solder a standard mini USB cable.
