I purchased the unit in February 2014 and it was until today, extensive use and testing because of the great weather in February and March already. After purchasing I first registered at Blaupunkt a software update to the current version 3.4.1. and an update of the latest speed camera performed. The process worked smoothly and lasted all in all, with my broadband line and create a backup approximately 45 minutes.
The handling of the menus is very easy and intuitive, accessories incl. Ram Mount bracket for motorcycle Completely. What is missing is a Bluetooth kit, but that's not doing well in the competition for more money. I have the Navi provided with a MicroSD card and save there my routes, I have created with RouteConverter GPX in. Format. These are recognized and loaded without problems. The often criticized number of waypoints, only up to max. 30 pcs., Have been corrected in the offensichtich neuesen software version. So far I could find no limitation in my create routes, so that I could plan freely.
If you have to deviate from the planned route, BSP by a construction site, the device calculates automatically after some time the next scheduled route point. What pleases me especially a route function änlicher kind, "winding roads", which I find very good at TomTom. After trying out the different route functions, I have found that the setting "convertible" also navigated the vermeidlichst most scenic routes.
It should be noted that if one pauses the Navi must not turn off, then the route is gone and needs to be reloaded, but instead the "Sleep" button and effort is in this mode. Then it just goes on if you continue on the planned route. I see this not as a disadvantage, as some others, but so operation happens.
The only thing I could not test because of "I do not have" the Bluetooth feature with a headset, I'm going without.
Most of the criticism on the net refers to old software versions, I can not judge, but obviously has Blaupunkt significantly reworked here with the now current version 3.4.1.
Those looking for a practical, handy and functional all Motorradnavi with the core functions of what must offer such Navi and beyond also still offers the latest maps with a beautiful route function and at a fair price, can resort to this device.
Benefits:
- Handy, practical, good, you can even after the pull good tuck in your pocket
- Regular map update
- Route function "winding roads" not, but -> Route function "Cabrio" very änlich
- Stable motorcycle bracket included
- Long battery life at least 6 hours, just in case needed..
- Bright easy to read display

- Pleasant Price
avoidable disadvantages as read;
- No playback of MP3 or images -> those who need it at a Motorradnavi, ok?!
- Magnetic connector for connection to the PC, -> against two left hands has grown no grays, but can not abort or must be secured by a rubber flap, which also dissolves the latest after two years
