What I like:
1. The price is "OK".
2. removable battery
3. Relatively long battery life
4. Handy device
5. Operation is "OK"
6. Good and secure retention
What I do not like:
1. Missing battery meter
2. Permanent rerouting
3. Partial Unclear display, resulting in 2
4. Sometimes sluggish display
5. Battery life at 100% brightness far from "6-8 hour"
6. confusing menu navigation
In somewhat greater detail:
A route is created rapidly, the machine is ready to work.
I always have a second battery with you, which will also require a 5-6 hour driving day.
Specifying 6-8 hours right when you turn off the display to 30% Heligkeit and everything else.
But at 30% brightness is seen on normal days hardly anything on the display.
The route is often the end of constant recalculations interrupted for no apparent reason.
For example, the device requires also like on a 10 Km road without branches should I turn back now !?
One must have spotted the route beforehand to compensate for these defects, that is you have to know when to ignore certain route changes. This is very annoying, because you so can not just start driving blind. Then have been by seven hours out of a planned five hours distance. In other bikes in the back not funny, because you are constantly insulted because all notice that you occasionally travels in circles. The problem was not solved with or firmware updates, but seems already a Garminmacke additionally a.
The battery is charged within about 3 hours, unfortunately the device does not display the final charge state. You have between unplugging the device, reboot and visually check the battery bar in Menu. What shoud that? Especially when I have to upload more than one battery?
Each silly 20 euros device can.
Operation while driving is good, you can not complain. The display is partly very sluggish in full details. Sometimes the unit needs a few seconds when you turn, for example, indicate the location and direction of travel is correct, the leads occasionally wrong turn etc. and then of course comes the recalculation Arie Los completely. I then may the automatichen recalculations completely inhibited.
The route: shortest, fastest, avoid highways, etc. is described in detail almost crap, what is offered is partly because outrageous. A friend once said, "If you had told what, then I would have gone with an Enduro".
Conclusion: I would buy the unit back .... because there is no alternative in the price range ... Unfortunately (The TomTom Rider is not!).
My old TomTom One in a transparent sheet as a waterproof shell and strange Befestigungsbastellei time was really good .......
