TomTom rolls out Urban Rider motorcycle GPS

We didn’t get a glimpse of this one when we checked out TomTom’s new Go Live 1000 navigation unit earlier today, but the company has also just introduced a new GPS device for motorcycle enthusiasts: the Urban Rider. This one sticks fairly close to the company’s previous RIDER units, but apparently simplifies even further with a revised interface designed to allow easier operation with gloved hands — yeah, you can bet this screen is resistive. Otherwise, you can expect features like TomTom’s IQ Routes and Map Share, along with advanced lane guidance, and a promised six hours of use from the battery — that larger battery comes at the expense of an SD card slot this time around, though. No word on a release over here just yet, but this one will be available in Europe next month for €249 (or about $330).
