Are you one of those who prefer riding a bike than a car on long drives? As the motorbike zooms past your car on the motorway, you crave to ride your own bike? Probably what stops you is the absence of a reliable sat nav. For you and for all those two-wheeler lovers, TomTom has launched the Urban Rider GPS unit.
This device is an advanced sat nav in the Rider series of TomTom which has been specifically made for the convenience of bike, moped, cycle, and scooter riders. With some old and some new features, Urban Rider is bound to strike a note with the bike riders.
Once the device is fixed on your two-wheeler and you are driving on the motorway, you need not take off your glove to operate the device. The touch-screen has been especially designed for easier functionality with gloved hands. There are two large buttons “navigate to” and “browse map” to simplify the revised screen design.
As the UK slogan of TomTom says- “Find your way the easy way”, so the extra lane guidance on the device guides you where you exactly need to be through a 3D version of the junctions.
To gain an insight into the real-world traffic pattern IQ Routes functionality is implemented in TomTom gadgets. The driving data collected from you facilitates you to take the fastest route at any given time of the day or night.
The Map Share feature allows you to make changes to the map on your device and simultaneously share it with others. You can edit, delete or add street names and even block or unblock streets.
If you are a real serious bike driver with a sat nav on it then you can’t really live without a headset. Later, as a pro version, this gadget will be accompanied by a Bluetooth headset. It will assist you in turning your vehicle left or right through voice guidance. Moreover, you will be able to attend to calls, that too, hands-free.
You need not worry about the battery life too, as it has been improved to six hours on a single charge. So pick up your bike and speed pass through the rest of the vehicles as you have TomTom navigator, Urban Rider to support you on all routes.
