TomTomRider 550 Motorcycle Navigation Device

works great, all i have to do now is have it wired in as i'm charging it up at home at the moment. i bought a helmet headset to go with it rather than ear buds. nothing whatsoever to complain about.

Excellent piece of kit. took a while to learn how to operate it but once mastered I'm very impressed with it.

I bought this rather than Garmin because I was familiar with Tom Tom commands etc.Sadly they have changed a little so need to get familiar with them before I try to do anything on the move.The biggest disappointment is that I can only connect to my Bike Autocom via Bluetooth unlike Garmin that can hardwired. This means no phone connectivity for me.Thinking about ditching it after 2 months.

first class service and fast delivery works as it says on the box very happy with it

Works good for a £200 appJust use your phone and save your money

When running the device in landscape, the screen randomly switches the view to portrait, it also randomly switches itself off! It also receives a message to say there is an update and asks if you want to update - yes or no! Very difficult and dangerous to try and hit the screen when on the move, but if you don't respond, it just switches off! Sports Touring, who supplied the device, tried to help by sending it back to Tomtom but when it came back from them, it still did the same, running in either landscape or portrait! Having done my research before purchasing, I thought that this was one of the best motorcycle sat. navs available. It has turned out to be the worst thing I could have bought for the bike and wish I had never paid good money for a device that is not fit for purpose!

You would expect a modern satnav to work easily, but TomTom have made this so complicated to set up that I've given up. The website doesn't answer my questions, I couldn't find any way of actually contacting them, but eventually fount a YouTube (!) video that explained what I needed to do to connect so that I could hear the directions through my Bluetooth-enabled helmet. The helmet works with my phone and Google maps, but the TomTom won't connect as it thinks that it needs a PIN. It's a shame that TomTom have gone backwards from the original Rider, as that was very good.I'll be returning this and looking at the competition.The seller told me that it would be really difficult for him to return the item, and promised to phone me to help me to get it connected. They didn't.Tomtom support is non-existant. The seller didn't want to have to have the package returned as "it is very difficult to take a tom tom back after the sealed packaging has been broken". My heart bleeds for him.It turns out that there are Youtube videos on how to get the unit to connect, and I now have an approximate connection to a unit that is almost as good as my older, faulty TomTom rider.Why does no-one provide support when the customer has problems? For the price paid, one would expect that the support would at least turn up a human who could talk you through it.I really wish that I'd had my old unit repaired - that wold have been so much easier and cheaper.

This new TomTom 550 rider can be a brilliant sat nav apart from one stupid mistake tom tom have made.This new version will only give live reports ie traffic jams ect. using WiFi and not the usual satalite signals ( I presume as I'm not a tech guy) as with all other sat navs.You will need to connect this to a WiFi hotspot such as your phone which will then run down your phones battery very quickly, time depending on the age of phone and battery until it's dead, then the sat nav is prity much useless.The in built maps will still work but that doesn't help when your stuck in a jam because the live updates has stopped working due to the lack of WiFi.So if your planning a long journey and don't have a charging point on your motorcycle, don't bother buying this version.Come on, WiFi only sat nav on a motorcycle.🤨🤪🙄

Ottimo navigatore compagno per i miei viaggi, tantussimi itinerari , prodotto impeccabile, con tom tom non si sbaglia mai. Consigliatissimo

Es rápido, preciso y puedes crear rutas en el ordenador y luego pasarlas al navegador. Se actualiza por wifi y queda perfecto en la moto. Por poner una pega, un poco pequeña la pantalla, pero muy recomendable.

Super Produkt leicht zu bedienen und sehr verständlich tut was es soll

J'avais acheté ce GPS pour un road trip au Maroc à la base. Excellent GPS assez intuitif. Je l'utilise aussi régulièrement pour des petits trajets vers chez moi. Récemment utilsé pour un road trip en Espagne le GPS s'adapte a tous pays! Petit problème d'allumage lors de ce trip (le GPS ne s'allumait plus) mais en consultant le site TOM TOM RIDER j'ai vu que j'avais juste a maintenir le bouton d'allumage enfoncé pour le réinitialiser. Il fonctionne de nouveau parfaitement!

Hatte vorab schon das sehr kompakte (ebenfalls 4,3") TomTom Go20, welches leider kaum Möglichkeiten zur Routenvorplnung bot. So erschien der Schritt zum Biker-Spezialnavi TomTom Rider irgendwann logisch. Neben den lebenslangen Karteupdates für mich wichtig: Problemloses Verbinden der Richtungsansagen über Bluetooth auf meine Helm-Intercom, Rotenplanung vorab möglich und auf Speicherkarte ladbar, kurvenreiche und bergige Strecken mit Autobahnvermeidung planbar. Kompaktes Format mit völlig ausreichender Displaygröße (ich brauche keinen "tesla-Bildschirm" auf meinem Bike!!!). Über die Gebraucht/SehrGut-Kaufoption ließen sich sogar noch einige Euronen sparen.Das beigefügte Stativ mit Feststrom-Bordanschluss habe ich übrigens noch nicht gleich angebaut. Nutze noch die Navitasche auf RAM-Mount und das alte USB-Kabel mit TMC-Empänger von meinem alten TomTom. Ohne dieses Kabel würden ansonsten die Verkehrsinfos in "Echtzeit" heute nämlich nach einer Handy-Datenverbindung verlangen, was ich bei einem Separat-Navi überhaupt nicht einsehe - könnte ich mich dann doch gleich vom Handy navigieren lassen, oder??? Doch wer jetzt überlegt: Die Mitbewerber (G. & Co.) gehen aktuell den selben merkwürdigen Weg, so dass ich hierfür also kein Sternchen abziehe. Außerdem muss sich sowieso jeder selbst überlegen, ob man Verkehrsmeldungen auf Freizeittouren über Landstraßen Dritter Ordnung tatsächlich benötigt. Gehen würde es also :-)
