 |
|
Just caught site of this new GPS which I believe will retail at €300, so I'd guess maybe £200ish. Can't find any more info about it yet, anyone else seen anything? Looks quite interesting so far, but no info on battery life or on-bike charging capabilities, bar the lighter socket adapter.

I am waiting on info for a review sample for my bikechatter site. Hopefully I will get one of these as well as comparable TomTom and Garmin units to do a group test.
cheers

I currently have the Rider V1, replaced the mount with the Touratech one and got a Scala Rider headset. Works well but I'd be interested to see how it compares to this offering. Haven't tried the Garmin but they look good also.

This from another UK forum.
| Quote: | took my new becker crocodile for a try today.
first impressions,
very good screen, graphics are the best iv had, and the maps are more detailed an up to date than the others
fairly easy to use (different than tomtom and garmin)
always stayed in signal wich is summat my garmin didnt
id say the features are all useable, but im not really interested in mp3,s etc, i just want a sat nav,
however, theres no bike mount, just car,and the connections seem v good. dont matter to me though as i always make my own mounts
main thing is its over 100 quid cheaper than a tomtom etc,
waterproofing will be tested when it rains |

Sooner or later opinions fade and the name on the tank matters not. I think that happens somewhere between 3rd and 4th gear. Enjoy the ride... everything else takes care of itself. |

Hmm no Bluetooth and quiet speaker/headphone output which is a bummer, but TMC traffic updates when you hook up the bike charging wire which doubles as an aerial... If they added Bluetooth so you could use something like a Scala Rider and do hands free stuff on your mobile phone, it would truly rock... Looks like I'll stick with my Rider 1 which is very much alive and kicking after 17'000 miles of use.

There are definately limiting factors on the unit but as it says on the review its still a damn good sat nav system and where it loses a few points with the audio it certainly impresses with the speed and accuracy of the guidance.
cheers
