Dedicated Motorcycle GPS - Several Options Available

By Joe Kidson

GPS systems are relatively inexpensive considering how useful they are. And now with satellite GPS technology combined with modern mapping software they provide a total navigation solution unlike anything ever seen before.

Motorcyclists can now buy dedicated motorcycle GPS systems that they can use as a total navigation system. There are various ways they can do this. It's quite possible for the motorcycle rider, who may also, for example, be a keen hiker, to get a handheld portable GPS unit that can be taken anywhere, including mounted on a motorcycle. A motorbike rider needs to be able to program or use it whilst wearing heavy motorcycle gloves.

Luckily there are some excellent GPS manufacturers who have come to the rescue of the motorcyclist by manufacturing dedicated motorcycle GPS systems that combine all these features and more. The GPS mounts are designed to allow mounting without the problems of vibration, and the GPS units are vibration resistant, waterproof and can be read, and used, by the motorcyclist.

The physical dimensions of the GPS device can be up to 5.7" x 4.2" giving you a large enough screen to view your roadway, directions, watch a video on screen, or just use the split screen to see your next turn. The buttons for almost anything you need are right there on your large screen.

The system is small enough to not obstruct the viewing of other gauges, and is as simple to use just like any GPS device. In addition, the special mounting allows the user to swivel the device at a desired angle, which makes the device flexible and readily adjustable, when there is a need to do so.

A modern motorcycle GPS unit is one of the best tools a motorcyclist can have if he or she likes long rides. It does away with the need to carry, and consult, maps, and makes navigating a breeze.
