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.

TL;DR - you need to realize this is effectively a remote display for the (excellent) app that runs on your phone and does all the work. It does not have a gps receiver. This is actually a good thing! This is a review of both app and Moto unit since they are both required…I was honestly skeptical at first when I saw the Beeline Moto flooding my social feed. After 2+ hours fighting with wonky Garmin apps and processes to plan a specific route on my 396, I took to Amazon and was happy to see the Beeline Moto was available for next day delivery. So a bought it! The cool thing is that, while I was waiting for the device to arrive I was able to open the app and start planning my route, which was a three hour back-roads ride to get my new motorcycle’s first service complete. Without even a test run, the route was nearly flawless, and the only challenge I had was with an impassible access road, but that was a google map data issue and no fault of this app. I passed by the wonky road and the app quickly rerouted me toward my next waypoint.I have to say this setup is nearly perfect. For my needs anyway. I love how the app makes it so simple to plan a route and ride. All the work is done by the app and the phone’s processing, and the Moto device is merely a display…and an excellent one at that. Direct sunlight readable (unlike my phone and even my Garmin), and minimalist nav guidance that is viewable even without my prescription glasses. I thought I would miss not having upcoming street names, but I didn’t! The visuals are so intuitive it takes the three turns to get the hang of it. I quickly started trusting the device and all went well.I am a huge fan now and I’ll promptly be selling my Garmin 396. Beeline is the future of motorcycle navigation, and, happily, it’s here now!
