The 5 Best Motorcycle GPS Systems As Of October, 2017 (And 2 Other Models)
All motorcycle GPS units have specific features that cater to motorcyclists, the ruggedness being the most common one, for obvious reasons -- protection from dust and water is usually standard. But other features include special bike routing or even music playback features.
Displayed in this list are GPS units that rival in bike-centric innovations, including UV ray resistance and traffic and weather radars designed specifically for bikers. For routing, there are features like Route Management, which lets you create, edit, and upload routes, and Trip Planners for a more personalized road trip, including a feature that favors curvy roads -- as seen in some Garmin zumo models. Some bike GPS systems also offer entertainment via built-in media players and compatibility with other devices, such as iPods and iPhones and we saw other interesting ideas, such as a special carrying case or a digital fuel gauge.
Some of the bike GPS models listed here can also be used in cars, but all the units shown here are above all bike GPS systems.
