The 6 Best Motorcycle GPS Systems As Of August, 2020 (And 8 Other Models)

Even with a lower sample of reviews, considering its average rank of 81%, we determined that the Garmin zumo 396 LMT-S is currently Alphachooser's best Motorcycle GPS 2020. We also believe that our 695 reviews sampled across multiple sources give us a safe-enough confidence level (more on confidence levels) that allows us to call it the most interesting choice as of now.

With its star rating of 4 over 318 reviews, we rank this TomTom model second best Motorcycle GPS. * Btw, our choices are based on an in-depth analysis of hundreds of Motorcycle GPS reviews from multiple sources.

A 6-hour battery life outshines most of the TomTom Rider 400 GPS' set of motorcycle-oriented features, which already include free lifetime speed cameras and an IPX7 (waterproof) rating.

Coming with 8GB of memory, a rather long 2-year warranty, and a waterproof design (IPX7-rated), this 4.3-inch GPS also has one of the longest battery times, lasting up to six hours without the plug.

Averaging a rating of (rating temporarily unavailable) stars after reviews, the Garmin Zumo 590LM is a motorcycle GPS (although some buyers also use it for their cars) touting a 5-inch 800 x 480 (WVGA) display with dual orientation support -- a facade that Garmin claims to be brilliant even in sunlight and glove-friendly. It also comes with an IPX7 casing, making it withstand constant fuel vapor and ultraviolet (UV) rays, which may not be a very rare facet in the world of outdoor GPS units, but is still highly welcome.

Ironically, most reviewers who gave the Zumo 590LM bad scores found its readability to be quite problematic, especially under direct sunlight, a complaint that would paint any 5-inch motorcycle GPS in a bad light (pun intended). Moreover, a couple of users complained that its maps took forever do download and often came either incomplete or outdated. Another buyer protested that the unit he received came with a defective mount, although this case should easily call up the Zumo 590LM's 1-year warranty.

Fortunately for this Garmin GPS unit, a good number of its reviewers loved its responsive screen and handy voice prompts feature. Typical GPS facets like traffic and weather warnings are also on board, with a view of speed limits joining in as well, the latter usually overlooked by many older units. Several others buyers even found its sunlight readability convenient, contrary to what a lot of unhappy buyers mention. A few more of its added-value features include a trip planner and a Where Am I function. It is also compatible with tire pressure sensing systems -- the required sensor is sold separately.

With all that said, the Garmin Zumo 590LM winds up as an inauspicious model, especially when compared to the top-ranking units in our list of the best motorcycle GPS systems.

A motorcycle GPS with the Tyre Pro PC Route Management feature, winding routes, IPX7 ruggedness rating, a 4.3-inch sunlight-readable display and a mounting kit which, according to TomTom, should fit almost all bikes.

The DracoTek Rage GPS430M may be used with a car as it comes with a car adapter, in addition to its power cable for motorcycles.

The Castar Motorcycle and Car boasts a 1300mAh battery with an included rechargeable replacement.

The Garmin zumo 665LM boasts a traffic and weather radar display for locating weather disturbances and traffic trouble spots.

The Garmin zumo 660LM has a built-in trip computer with compass, a trip planner by BaseCamp, and a digital fuel gauge.
