Motorrad Navigator II GPS Navigation System
Owners of BMW motorcycles have a new technology available to them to
provide up to the minute directions and navigation throughout all of
Europe. BMW's latest GPS unit for their motorcycles is a huge step up
from their previous model. This model features an upgraded memory chip,
up to 2 GB from 512 MB. The model also comes with a road map covering all
of Eastern Europe installed right out of the box. This is a great feature
because prior to this model you would have to take the unit to your pc
and download the appropriate maps onto the unit. With this model you
simple have to mount the unit to your motorcycle and attach the battery
cable and you are ready to take off on the road.
Riders will find the new touch screen a vast improvement over the
previous model and it has been retuned for easier use with gloved hands.
The unit has been rated for use in snow and in rain, and against extreme
heat and cold. The units increased memory and processors allow for
virtually instantaneous updates of information and position. As with the
previous model it still provides the rider with elapsed time, estimated
time to destination, current speed, average speed and top speed. This
models positioning is extremely accurate as it pulls information from
twelve different satellites when coordinating your position. Most GPS
units only use the information of four satellites and this gives the BMW
model a greater advantage at calculating your exact position on the globe.
As for drivers or riders of non-BMW bikes, this unit can be used with any
vehicle or motorcycle and will require minimal mounting and wiring. For
an automobile it comes equipped with a cigarette lighter plug and can be
mounted fairly easily to most vehicles. Pedestrians can also use this
unit with its battery powered option. This product is available at all
BMW dealerships and online at the BMW website.
