TomTom Rider, A Motorcycle GPS Guidance System

TomTom has just launched their GPS for motorcycles named TomTom Rider. In a press release from Amsterdam, the company introduced design and features of the GPS device: “With TomTom Rider, bikers can not only choose where to go, but more importantly how they want to get there,” said Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director of TomTom Consumer. “We listened to feedback from motorbike communities to create a device that was customized for the way they want to ride. We found that the overwhelming majority of bikers use their motorcycle for recreational purposes and many actively seek out routes that offer fantastic scenic touring experiences. TomTom Rider gives bikers the ability to find and ride the best scenic routes in the world.” (more…)

TomTom Rider motorcycle GPS gets refresh, for those born to be guided

It seems a safe bet that any contemporary Easy Rider reboot would be vastly different from its predecessor. For one thing, there’s the whole GPS thing to contend with — and surely there’d be a little friendly product placement in the form of the TomTom Rider (New Orleans isn’t gonna find itself, after all). The company has updated its long-running motorcycle GPS line to feature a new 4.3-inch “glove-friendly” weatherproof display and the ability to create, upload and share routes via Bluetooth. Bluetooth functionality also makes it possible to get in-helmet audio directions, so you don’t have to stare down at that screen the whole time (when you should be looking at the, you know, road). And for those who don’t like the straight and narrow path, there’s the Winding Roads to help you find routes with more bends. The Rider is currently listed at £329.99 ($511) for pre-order.
