Phone Accessories, Motorcycle GPS BMW | Know everything

Which BMW phone accessories or motorcycle GPS to choose? Today we offer you a guide to find out which equipment is best suited to your situation. Maybe your phone is all you need to get directions. But you may also need a motorcycle-specific GPS, a must-have for off-roading! So let's take stock:

Which motorcycle accessory for your phone?

Our telephone, or rather smartphone, is an indispensable tool in our daily lives. It is also essential for motorcycle driving in many situations.

The telephone: the essential tool for finding your way around easily

Our smartphone allows us to do almost everything. On a motorcycle, you most likely use it to plot a route, follow it and find your way around thanks to the integrated GPS. Whether it's Google Maps, Waze, or other lesser-known apps, we've all used one of these for a motorcycle ride. With them, getting lost is almost a thing of the past!

But the phone can obviously have some limitations. These are particularly noticeable especially when your journey takes you off-road. This is why a motorcycle navigation GPS can be particularly useful in these situations. If you ride a motorcycle along major traffic lanes, this device may not be required. However, you want to have adequate equipment to use your phone in navigation mode.

A phone holder adapted to your motorcycle

To enjoy the best experience on the road, it is therefore necessary to have a phone holder. It allows you to receive your smartphone in route mode. You will then be able to find your way around better while protecting your device. On our website, you can therefore order our BMW ConnectedRide Cradle smartphone holder, which is:

● Compatible with smartphones with dimensions minimum 130.1 x 65.5 x 6.9 mm and maximum 162.5 x 78.1 x 8.8 mm;

● Adjustable on each holding side to best fit your smartphone;

● With a total weight of 204 grams;

● Protected against environmental and weather conditions according to IP65 standard, just like your smartphone;

● Designed not to interfere with driving.

Our ConnectedRide Cradle model will obviously be more compatible with your BMW motorcycle than other supports on the market.

Why opt for a dedicated BMW Motorcycle GPS?

As mentioned earlier, your phone's built-in GPS comes in handy for most everyday situations.

But in some cases, such as when you really go off the beaten track, having a GPS designed for motorcycling can be very useful! We then offer you a device optimized for you, the BMW Navigator 6 GPS. Here are the situations in which we recommend it and its strengths:

If you are in an area with no network

On some roads or especially off-road, you can suddenly no longer get the network. This may be the case in the mountains or in some beautiful wilderness. In these network outage situations, you can rely on your GPS's preloaded map files. Our GPS device allows you to:

● Create a route with an identical start and end point and a predefined duration;

● Access many route options and can set items to avoid.

The GPS also gives you access to routes unknown to standard applications that are more geared towards automobiles than motorcyclists.

BMW Motorrad GPS

A GPS designed for motorcycle driving

A BMW GPS is manufactured specifically for motorcycle use. This means that you have a device adapted to the situations you may encounter on a motorcycle. For example, our Navigator 6 model is waterproof. In bad weather, rain or snow, you don't have to worry about your phone. This Motorcycle GPS is designed for its situations and ensures optimal navigation even in the rain.

You also have a larger screen, while having a model sized for your motorcycle. It does not interfere with your driving while allowing you to find your way around easily. In addition, our GPS units are designed to reduce glare from the sun.

Finally, it is resistant in the event of a crash. When doing Enduro for example, falls can be frequent. In those cases, you'll probably want a sturdy GPS system or a solid mount for your smartphone, like the ConnectedRide Cradle featured above.

The GPS Navigator 6 in brief

Whether you're off the beaten track or on the road, a Motorcycle GPS is a great idea. Our BMW GPS Navigator 6 model is not only perfectly suited to our motorcycles. But it also gives you plenty of route options to get the best driving experience.

For example, you can:

● Automatically avoid major roads during route calculations and recalculations;

● Have a selection of roads suitable for motorbike journeys.

Guaranteed 2 years, it will accompany you in all your outings, whether on the road or in Enduro. And if you're not ready to take the plunge, still consider a smartphone holder adapted to your car to ensure a good driving experience.

An intercom system to complete a phone holder or a motorcycle GPS

Whether you opt for a phone holder or a GPS, there is another handy accessory to improve your driving experience: an intercom system. On our site, we offer you a communication system, the BMW ConnectedRide Com U1 Universal Intercom.

This communication system allows you to be connected with your phone and/or motorcycle. You can then make calls and communicate with your passenger or a group of bikers, or even listen to music.

This universal intercom is also compatible with a very wide choice of helmets, but also with other intercoms, all brands combined. This high-end system offers solid performance while being easy to use.
