Anyone tried the new TomTom Rider 450? I'm looking to replace my Garmin and fancy one of these.
Why would you want pre-installed TomTom routes on a bike?
Why would you want pre-installed TomTom routes on a bike?
...........I would also like to change to Rider 450 having had my Rider V2 for 10 years.
What has stopped me changing before and still searching for the info on the 450 is the following.
I have several different poi files, work / bike nights / PGPSWorld speed cameras etc, I would like to use these with map icons and sounds on my next sat nav.
Don't know this one.......
I have approx 70 rides in my itinerary`s created on Tyre pro, will these transfer to the 450 ?
Yes, if saved as itn files.....
Is there a facility to skip a missed waypoint on the 450. I have used Overleap ( third party software) on the Rider V2 ?
There is on the 400, so I'd imagine there will be on the 450.....
I have been very happy with Tomtom in the car and on the bike but don`t seem to be able to find answers to these questions.
I don`t want to change to Garmin as I have tried them including the 595 but prefer to stick with tomtom.
i was thinking the same iv got the 400 no much difference in the 410 or this 450.Be aware that in terms of hardware, the Rider 40, 400, 410 and 450 is exactly the same device. They just use the different numbers to denote different map packages and features and add profit margin. You can get a very good deal by going for the 400/410 if it has the right maps for you.
When using an itinerary and a waypoint is missed, the rider V2 would try to send you back to the waypoint ( I used overleap to get around this) I understand that the Garmins self cancel the missed waypoint after a certain distance.
Is there a easy built in system on the Rider 400 series. ?
Thank you for the hardware information on the range.
Although I've not used a TomTom bike nav, I have used plenty of their car devices and their car devices (and sports) - they are IMO always better than the Garmin devices. I've got a Nav V at the moment and only really got it as I have the TE mount on the bike and the hand control. It's very average when compared to TomTom devices particularly if you see that some TomTom devices comes with pre-installed routes etc which I think is a great feature. So....if I were do it all again I would probably by a TomTom device, but how would you mount it? I mean can you get a solid looking/functioning mount like TE mount?
