Rider 550 Motorcycle Navigation Device

A must for any bike, great quality.

works great, all i have to do now is have it wired in as i'm charging it up at home at the moment. i bought a helmet headset to go with it rather than ear buds. nothing whatsoever to complain about.

I bought this rather than Garmin because I was familiar with Tom Tom commands etc. Sadly they have changed a little so need to get familiar with them before I try to do anything on the move. The biggest disappointment is that I can only connect to my Bike Autocom via Bluetooth unlike Garmin that can hardwired. This means no phone connectivity for me. Thinking about ditching it after 2 months.

Excellent piece of kit. took a while to learn how to operate it but once mastered I'm very impressed with it.

first class service and fast delivery works as it says on the box very happy with it

When running the device in landscape, the screen randomly switches the view to portrait, it also randomly switches itself off! It also receives a message to say there is an update and asks if you want to update - yes or no! Very difficult and dangerous to try and hit the screen when on the move, but if you don't respond, it just switches off! Sports Touring, who supplied the device, tried to help by sending it back to Tomtom but when it came back from them, it still did the same, running in either landscape or portrait! Having done my research before purchasing, I thought that this was one of the best motorcycle sat. navs available. It has turned out to be the worst thing I could have bought for the bike and wish I had never paid good money for a device that is not fit for purpose!

Works good for a £200 app Just use your phone and save your money

You would expect a modern satnav to work easily, but TomTom have made this so complicated to set up that I've given up. The website doesn't answer my questions, I couldn't find any way of actually contacting them, but eventually fount a YouTube (!) video that explained what I needed to do to connect so that I could hear the directions through my Bluetooth-enabled helmet. The helmet works with my phone and Google maps, but the TomTom won't connect as it thinks that it needs a PIN. It's a shame that TomTom have gone backwards from the original Rider, as that was very good. I'll be returning this and looking at the competition. The seller told me that it would be really difficult for him to return the item, and promised to phone me to help me to get it connected. They didn't. Tomtom support is non-existant. The seller didn't want to have to have the package returned as "it is very difficult to take a tom tom back after the sealed packaging has been broken". My heart bleeds for him. It turns out that there are Youtube videos on how to get the unit to connect, and I now have an approximate connection to a unit that is almost as good as my older, faulty TomTom rider. Why does no-one provide support when the customer has problems? For the price paid, one would expect that the support would at least turn up a human who could talk you through it. I really wish that I'd had my old unit repaired - that wold have been so much easier and cheaper.

J’avais le rider 500 je suis passé au 550 très pratique car je n’ai pas du changer l’installation sur la moto Très rapide et facile top produit

Hatte vorab schon das sehr kompakte (ebenfalls 4,3") TomTom Go20, welches leider kaum Möglichkeiten zur Routenvorplnung bot. So erschien der Schritt zum Biker-Spezialnavi TomTom Rider irgendwann logisch. Neben den lebenslangen Karteupdates für mich wichtig: Problemloses Verbinden der Richtungsansagen über Bluetooth auf meine Helm-Intercom, Rotenplanung vorab möglich und auf Speicherkarte ladbar, kurvenreiche und bergige Strecken mit Autobahnvermeidung planbar. Kompaktes Format mit völlig ausreichender Displaygröße (ich brauche keinen "tesla-Bildschirm" auf meinem Bike!!!). Über die Gebraucht/SehrGut-Kaufoption ließen sich sogar noch einige Euronen sparen. Das beigefügte Stativ mit Feststrom-Bordanschluss habe ich übrigens noch nicht gleich angebaut. Nutze noch die Navitasche auf RAM-Mount und das alte USB-Kabel mit TMC-Empänger von meinem alten TomTom. Ohne dieses Kabel würden ansonsten die Verkehrsinfos in "Echtzeit" heute nämlich nach einer Handy-Datenverbindung verlangen, was ich bei einem Separat-Navi überhaupt nicht einsehe - könnte ich mich dann doch gleich vom Handy navigieren lassen, oder??? Doch wer jetzt überlegt: Die Mitbewerber (G. & Co.) gehen aktuell den selben merkwürdigen Weg, so dass ich hierfür also kein Sternchen abziehe. Außerdem muss sich sowieso jeder selbst überlegen, ob man Verkehrsmeldungen auf Freizeittouren über Landstraßen Dritter Ordnung tatsächlich benötigt. Gehen würde es also :-)

Ho acquistato il navigatore per un motivo: quelli da auto di giorno non si vede nulla per via della luminosità non adatta all'uso all'aperto. Col cellulare stesso problema, anche sparando il massimo della luminosità. Problema completamente risolto dal rider, si vede perfettamente di giorno. Molto bella la funzione di pianificazione del viaggio su pc a casa e trasmissione immediata al dispositivo senza neanche staccarlo dalla moto. La velocità di ricalcolo del percorso quando lo variamo è più che adeguata. E' ottimo, l'unica cosa è ricordare di evitare le strade non asfaltate altrimenti andrete a conoscere ogni cuccia di cane si dovesse interporre fra voi e la vostra destinazione.

Lo conocia de siempre. Es una marca con la que llevo 25 años. Es para lo que es y va muy bien

Franchement adapté à la moto. Il faut tout de même penser à commander un antivol pour support toutou, car le gps s’enlève trop facilement. Un coup supplémentaire à un prix malheureusement déjà assez prohibitif. Mais pour l’avoir utilisé, le jeu en vaut la chandelle !!
