The tom tom rider is an expensive but a worthwhile piece of kit that makes everyday riding definitely safer and more enjoyable with features such as various voices to choose from for directions, safety camera alerts, nearest petrol stations, scenic routes, etc.......the list goes on !!
If you were only to go for a short ride then maybe this isn't for you but if your anything like me who makes the daily trips but likes to venture off the usual route then this is for you , it may also suprise you with how it can shave time off your usual trips, it used to take me 35 mins to get to work but with this little piece of kit i'm their in 25 mins everyday leaving me plenty of time for a cup of tea !!
The main feature I am especially impressed with is the bluetooth capability, the unit can be linked to its own headset that is mounted within the helmet and then to your bluetooth enabled mobile phone meaning you can answer calls and read important text messages whilst on the move !! Very swarve !!
The menu changes from the standard layout to riding layout once moving so you don't have a bump due to looking through menu settings but does leave the option open to select important places such as petrol stations & hotels whilst riding, the other good thing about this is that you can select one of these two points of interest and call them without knowing the phone number as the tom tom retrieves this for you!
Security and theft of this isn't an issue as it is quick releasable from the mounting bracket so can be quickly taken off and locked away in a top box or wherever you wish to store it.
Best of all there are loads of accessories available for this little gem such as a charging cable that connects directly to your motorbike engine so can charge on the move meaning you never have a flat tom tom !! , also there is an optional car kit so it can be transferred over to 4 wheels when needed.
The top and bottom of it is this isn't for those who make the occasional few mile trips but if your a daily rider (such as me in all weathers !!) then this will make an excellent addition and extremely useful tool that you'll wonder how you ever lived without !!!
I'd be suprised if anyone ever regretted buying one of these little diamonds !!
Expensive , YES ! but waste of time and money and needed MOST DEFINITLEY NOT !!!!
