Love this bit of gear!

I'd been hankering after one of these for some time - I had a Rider 2013 before this - but it was slow when recalculating etc. No regrets to date - wifi updates are very handy, the MyDrive functionality is a little ropey - e.g. transferring routes to and from the device doesn't seem to work bi-directionally. Functionality has been very impressive, especially when connected to my phone for live traffic updates - the right hand journey bar shows how far away your next filling station/cup of coffee is, which is awesome. It will read aloud text/WhatsApp messages, and will interact with Siri apparently if that's useful to you. So far I love this. Good investment, definitely.

Tomtom good but not perfect

Nice unit , simple display and touch menu. Possibly too simple for the more savvy. Also it's a 4.3 screen not 5.5 as you might think being called the 550. It's simplicity is compensated for by its no fuss operation. Works really well with the Wi-fi to plan routes in mydrive and my route then upload straight to unit. Quick and easy route planning but no fuel range setting so you will need to manually find a fuel stop at your tanks range unlike competitor unit. I still cannot connect to my Bluetooth headphone and use the voice instruction guidance . Also, although it connects to the P20pro phone it can't use its data services but I can upload routes from mydrive app. Information is well delivered on the screen but I find it slow to keep up when going around roundabouts so need to check your exit before entering the junction. . I liked the ease to swivel from horizontal to vertical alignment of the unit but I found you need to go into settings and lock the display as it kept going back to horizontal when leaning over during cornering. The internal fuse is in the mounting and is no simple task to replace so I recommend fitting a inline 2 amp fuse even though the manual says it's not required to help save a possible nightmare later changing fuses. Overal I'm pleased having brought it at sports bike shop due to the great price. Otherwise I might have said it was over priced ???? Good battery life 6 hrs if you decide not to connect it to battery. Strangely no covers or caps for electrical terminals on the mount if you remove the unit from the bike or caps for cable so I interested to see how these deal with weather?

Well made kit

This is a well made kit from Tomtom, so I can use my Tomtom Rider Satnav in my car. Despite my BMW already having satnav I have found that routes can be sent to the Tomtom Rider 400 from the routing app allowing for the size of the vehicle when towing a caravan. Thus the route is selected accordingly, specific Camper satnav generally cost £350, so this is a win for anyone with the Rider Satnav who also uses big vehicles.
