The case is very robust and waterproof. Even the fall from the bench on the street did not hurt him, and you see no Macke. On my shopper handlebar it is to fix a problem, the Tom Tom. By ball head attachment, it can be fixed in any desired position. Even at high speeds nothing slips.
The new display is much larger than that of its predecessor. Whole 4.3 (10,9cm), thereby, of course, the image to see bigger and faster. The power button is no longer on the side but the top right. So you need only one hand to turn formerly had to be pressed when switching to always left, otherwise it would slip.
For Curve fans and these are the majority of us bikers there are now as an extra even choosing winding route. In addition, you can now on, let Tom Tom See the complete, planned route on the map.
If you want to schedule a tour of several towns, which can enter the individual route points as intermediate points.
In addition, the number of POIs has increased significantly. Even dentists can now find ;-).
With IQ Routes calculates the Navi depending on day and time, the best and fastest route.
Some Navis is cheaper every 2 years to buy a new device than to update the maps. This has now come to an end with the v4. You get over the lifetime of the Navis free map updates. Kudos to TomTom, now that's a really good thing.
The built-in battery lasts only good for 6 hours which is clearly too weak for a real tour. With the new V4, this problem has done. It has an external power supply that can be connected to the onboard electronics.
Tours are motorcyclists highlights for us. The one plans in peace like in advance at home. That goes with TomTom very comfortable manner. Simply load Tyre on the PC and there are looking for the route in peace, change, plan. If it finds one invites them on his navigation system and off you go. Driving more TomTom Rider in the group, so it is enough if one plans the route. It is possible then to exchange either via PC or later between the devices.
The matching headset -I have the Jabra BT3030- is available as an optional accessory for example, also on Amazon. I was able to take it from my predecessor. It fits well with the new Rider v4. Connect press Knöpfchen confirm finished. The volume can be both the navigator and the additionally adjust the headset. The two settings are added together. So far I have still not understood anything, no matter at what speed.
As usual, most of TomTom, Also the phone via Bluetooth can connect to the Navi. Once transferred the phone book of the mobile phone and then you can also make calls while driving via the Navi.
Unfortunately, there is this compatibility of the headset is not even in the car mount. The also optional car holder is not only a support in her is also the speaker, whom one might want in the car, installed. So one saves a second Navi and kills two birds with one stone. Although the holder of the Riders v3 v4 fits exactly in the Rider, but unfortunately, unfortunately the connections are changed. It sits Although firmly to the windshield, but RECOURSE silent. The TomTom would not have necessarily change. The new holder for the v4 is only available in late May and will cost around 80 dollars.
Conclusion: A large Navi with great features which facilitates the driving pleasure. The price is right, everyone must decide for themselves. I rate here only the Navi and I admit wholeheartedly 5 well deserved stars.
