Beeline Moto GPS Computer - Black | Worldwide Route Planning | Weatherproof & 30 Hours Battery Life | USB Charging | Sat Nav for Motorcycle & Scooter with Strap Mount Included | Glove Friendly

I bought for motorcycle riding. It is a very small footprint that provides just the information you need, nothing extra. Works great!Good points:- very long battery life (30+ hours)- small form factor- easy to follow instructions- phone app doesn't need cell signal to give directions, and doesn't use my battery- reliable blu-tooth connection- very durable and attractive- can load a gpx file route from another app- Absolutely ideal for point A to point B routing, specific routes are a little more complicated (as noted below)- choices of very good mounts - comes with two, very useful.Room for improvement:- limitation of 23 waypoints in the app. If you are trying to create a route to take specific roads (like a motorcycle ride), this can be challenging. You have to break it up into segments.- when it re-routes you, it sometimes takes you to roads you don't want to go on. This is why you need more waypoints, so it doesn't take you too far off your route.- sometimes struggles with brightness is changing light conditions- a desktop interface for creating the routes would be nice. You only have the phone to do it now, and while it is a pretty good app, it is a little tedious creating routes on the phone.All in all, a great value. All of my riding friends have one and love it. I would definitely buy again.

I absolutely love this thing.I really don’t like hanging my phone on my handlebar for several reasons. First, it just looks tacky (yes, it does). Second you’re subjecting your phone to a lot of vibration, which can damage some of the sensors. Third you’re exposing your expensive phone to the elements, and lastly you’re risking your expensive phone falling off.This little guy solves all of those problems. It’s small size is unobtrusive and it looks great. It takes navigation data from your phone and shows it to you in a very intuitive format, all while your phone sits safely in a jacket pocket or saddlebag. Excessive vibrations won’t harm it. Weather won’t harm it. If it falls off and breaks you’re not out $700. I’d much rather have something happen to this than my phone. Battery life is excellent, visibility day and night is excellent, and the companion navigation app works great and handles reroutes very well.And if nothing else, it looks way better than some of the monstrosities I see plastered on peoples handlebars. That only is worth the price.

This is a different idea for a GPS. Minimalist display, no power cord or connections, and it uses your phone to do all the thinking. I bought is as a GPS for the motorcycle and was attracted to it's small form factor. It took a little getting accustomed to, but once I had used it a few times I found it easy enough to follow the arrow. The APP needs some work though. I find myself using Google maps to find places along the rout I want and then tying in the addresses. Searching, routing and functionality are way behind Google and Waze. I end up using Google to find things, and then enter the address into the BeeLine APP. Re-routing is a little fuzzy too. But overall I like it.

I bought this after seeing a demo for the Royal Himalayan integrated nav, same as Beeline, plan a route on your phone then put your phone away and just have a simple dial tell you when to turn. No clutter, easy to read.The Beeline app plans routes very well, on par with Google or Apple maps for simple trip planning. It has a feature over those that I like in that it records those ride with stats so you can look back. You can also record a ride that Beeline didn't plan.Navigation is simple. The big chevron points the way you should be going. The displayed mileage, which turns to yards under one tenth of a mile, is the distance to your next turn and the dot next to the chevron is the direction of that turn. Simple. The display is clear and simple to read dramatically reducing the time your eyes are off of the road.Literally only one nit to pick, the distance to go to the turn is always off. You are making the turn with the display still saying 20 to 40 yards to go. Usually not a problem but could be in a complex intersection.

Really gimmicky flimsy feeling device with very limited features that requires your smartphone and an app to function. Worked sort of OK a couple of months although the re route function straight up stinks and their GPS app just isn't nearly as good as Google in terms of avoiding road closures. It has led me to a closed bridge or road multiple times when Google Maps knew that they were closed. Also just isn't responsive enough when going at motorcycle speeds, I constantly missed turns when that just isn't an issue with Google Maps on my phone. Doesn't seem like this was really tweaked all that well for moto use.Anyway, thing stopped working after less than 3 months of regular use and the thing felt really cheap and flimsy from day one, especially for the $200 price tag. Screen failed (seems like a display ribbon cable disconnect, but didn't feel like opening it up and voiding any kind of warranty). Return process was a bit pain in my ass to get a full refund (still waiting for the ~$30 "restock fee" refund).Avoid. This is a cheap $50 gadget sold as a $200 premium device.
