Reviews TomTom Rider 550 Premium motorcycle sat-nav review
Faster, better-equipped... TomTom's latest sat-nav actually relieves frustrations rather than adding to them

TomTom Sat-Nav - Rider 550 World I love the twisty ride function. Sometimes it can't find villages that show on national maps, which is a shame. Works well with gloves on. It's bright enough for sunny days.
TomTom Sat-Nav - Rider 550 World Very easy to use, even with gloved hand, just loaded my next trip into it, going over to spain, over pyrenees and back through france
Clear info shown on the screen, and waterproof
TomTom Car Mount for Rider 400 Easy to fit, and converts the TomTom Rider 550 into a car Sat Nav.
At the offer price, great value too.
TomTom Motorcycle Dock Easy to fit and works like it should
TomTom Sat-Nav - Rider 550 Premium Premium package seems a great deal, plus sports bike shops discounted price was a nice bonus!
Lots of fixing bits in the two boxes which too a little while to suss out on my bmw r1200gs adventure.
It seems strange that only the car windscreen mount comes with the USB connection where the bike mount needs to be wired into the bikes electrics. As I'm no electrician, this took a while to do and it still isn't perfect as needed to be connected to a switched live. This means when I turn the bike off the sat nav stays on which risks draining the battery down over time. I just unplug it and this seems to do the trick, but still annoying.
Still getting used to using the tomtom but seems pretty logical.
Looking forward to trying it out in Europe on some adventures.
TomTom Sat-Nav - Rider 550 World I’ve had several Tom Toms over the years and this is the best one - very quick service from SPORTSBIKESHOP and the best price I could find for the satnav !
