Brilliant upgrade from my Rider 410 – worth it for the features alone
I’ve been using TomTom Rider sat navs for years and this Rider 500 has been a really solid upgrade from my old Rider 410. The 410 was good, but this feels like a much more modern, polished unit and it’s genuinely made day rides and touring easier. The biggest win for me is the Wi-Fi updates. With the 410 I always found updates a bit of a faff (plugging in, syncing, etc). With the Rider 500 it’s simple and quick, so the device actually stays up to date without it feeling like a chore. Same goes for maps and speed cameras. The screen is a great size for a bike. 4.3 inch is spot on. Clear, bright, and easy to glance at without taking your eyes off the road for too long. It also feels more responsive than the 410 in day-to-day use. The motorcycle specific routing is where it really shines. The “winding and hilly roads” options are genuinely fun and I’ve found some great routes I wouldn’t have picked myself. It still gets the basics right too, and recalculates quickly if you miss a turn or decide to take a detour. TomTom Traffic has been useful for avoiding queues, and overall it just feels built for motorbike use rather than a car sat nav adapted for a bike. If you’re coming from an older model like the Rider 410, this is a proper step up. Very happy with it and I’d buy it again. 5 stars.

Perfect GPS for bikers. Mount may not fit your bike. Faultless so far.
Simple to set up and use, quick to get going. This is my second TomTom Rider, the last one, a 2017 version, allowed rain to get in and stopped working - a known fault. I hope this one does better. On my ZZR I had to buy an EVOTECH central mount as the TomTom one supplied couldn't be made to fit. The TomTom came with a nice length of wire and connector. Simple. Great solution for bike touring and long rides. It showed a diagram to connect to a computer on start up, which was confusing, so i just charged it for 30 mins then it was fine! Battery was flat, only.

Probably the best overall satnav for motorbikes
I think from a user interface, functional and ergonomic perspective the Rider 500/550 is about as good as is currently available. The unit itself is very solid and feels well built as is the (best in class) RAM mount fitting system. My unit did develop condensation behind the screen when coming out of a cold garage into warm direct sunlight. It dissipated fairly quickly, but I sent it back to TomTom anyway. The service was excellent and they organised a UPS pick up immediately and have kept me informed of status during the process. I'm awaiting the return tomorrow (2/4/19) after submitting the original email asking about a repair on the 22/3/19. I think that represents pretty good service. I'll have to see whether the condensation issue has been resolved.

Great navigation and ease
Great Sat nav on my vstrom, mounting kit included and cables. Well made sturdy product and seems very robust. Great map navigation and route setting. Screen nice and bright and vivid and whole thing was simple to set up, well done tomtom recommended

Basic Sat nav .. Takes you from A to B .... Nothing more than that.
I bought this Sat Nav specifically because it claimed to show who's calling or texting right on the screen, in addition to handling navigation. The product was advertised with features like: “You can receive incoming calls and make calls to contacts in your phone’s contact list and to your recent contacts,” and “When someone sends you an SMS or IM, you see their name and picture…” Well, none of that works anymore. A quick Google search shows those features have been quietly discontinued — yet they're still shamelessly listed in the manual as if they exist. This device is completely outdated, misleading, and a total waste of money. I genuinely thought I had done enough research, but clearly I got burned on this one. Save yourself the hassle and avoid this product entirely. Go for something that actually works — like a CarPlay-compatible system. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Updates over the Internet without computer connection
This is a really good product. The outstanding feature is the internet connection and the updating on the bike in the garage. It was easy to install and feels robust. The head is easy to remove from the bike if it is left unattended by pushing a lever. The display and directions are clear and easy to understand. I am very happy with this purchase.

Ich hatte ehrlich gesagt aufgrund der vielen krititschen Bewertungen gezögert, dieses Navi zu bestellen. Ich muss aber nach einigen Male Anwendung sagen, dass ich viele Kommentare nicht nachvollziehen kann. Es ist "NUR" ein Navigationsgerät, welches mich von A nach B bringen soll und das kann es! Es ist zwar mein erstes Motorrad-Navi, ich habe somit keine Vergleiche, aber es erfüllt alle Anforderungen und ist in der Bedienung leicht und selbsterklärend. Was einfach wichtig ist, dass man sich am Anfang mit allen Einstellungen vertraut macht und wenn ich alles nach meinen Bedürfnissen eingestellt habe, zeigt es auch nur das an oder eben nicht. Die meisten Probleme entstehen meines Erachtens also bei der Anwendung und nicht weil das Gerät schlecht ist. Man kann z.B. einstellen, dass unbefestigte Strasse gemieden werden - dann wird man auch nicht dahin geleitet. Ich finde es super praktisch, dass ich meine Routen am PC oder Handy planen kann und dann an das Gerät sende. Und natürlich muss ich die Vorschläge nochmal überprüfen und ggf. die Strecke anpassen. Denn auch hier kann sich nicht für jeden die perfekte Route hinter "kurvenreich" verbergen. Natürlich ist das Display bei sehr hellem Sonnenlicht nicht so gut ablesbar, aber was wird hier erwartet? Ich habe aber auch nur 50% Helligkeit eingestellt und außerdem muss ich ja auch nicht ständig drauf schauen. Und die wichtigen Punkte z.B. an Kreuzungen, wo man abbiegen soll, werden auf Wunsch vergrößert angezeigt. Ob es wasserdicht ist kann ich nocht nicht sagen, ich habe es im Regen noch nicht getestest. Aber die Diebstahlsicherung habe ich mitbestellt, dies kann ich nur empfehlen, lässt sich einfach montieren und man muss das Gerät nicht bei jedem Tankstopp abnehmen. Die Bedienung mit Handschuhen klappt auch super. Bei meiner MT-07 war die Anbringung zwar ein bisschen Gefrikkel, da an meinm Lenker nicht so viel Platz ist, aber nun fügt es sich gut ein, sitzt bombenfest und fällt auch gar nicht so auf. Das ist eben auch der Vorteil von einem kleineren Display, das Gerät ist nicht ganz so groß und klobig. Von mir eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!
