Beeline for foreign places

[Berin]

Anyone using their Beeline for when in foreign places?

I want a back up for the Montana 700 mounted on my Basic and I already have the Beeline fitted. Saves faffing with a phone mount, and could be handy for the last few km to our digs,

I can’t think why it shouldn’t work.

I used to have a Beeline, worked perfectly here, I presume the app uses Google map data or similar, the unit won’t care where it is

We used a Beeline in Sardinia a few years ago. It was hilarious. The routes were on a phone and the beeline sort of followed them. I don’t think the fact it was in Sardinia had any bearing on the device.

Just as a reminder, the original Beeline and the Beeline Moto II are pretty well chalk and cheese. The former …..erm …. not for me, but the Moto II is great and I’ve used it in France, Germany, Ireland and all over the UK without any hitches. Beeline say it has world wide GPS coverage. Do I have any gripes with it? If you create a route in Beeline, it will auto re-route, whereas if you import a route then it won’t. For me that’s a pain as I prefer MyRouteApp for route creation.

As a backup device, why not? Just make sure you know how to use it before any trip. Most times when a satnav is blamed for being useless, the root cause is simply down to the user not getting to grips with the device in the weeks and months before a trip.

I use a Garmin too but it is old. I have a phone that could be used as a back-up. I can also use the rubbish integrated thing on the Moto Guzzi via phone app. I can read a map and road signs. None are ideal compared to the Garmin but at least there is a good chance I will find my hotel, the return ferry and get home if the Garmin dies.

Just used it all round Europe.

Faultless.

Plan route on phone linking up points you deem worth seeing.

Hit fun route.

Follow needle.

It’s great.

I did a few tests and it finds all my hotels easily enough, so I think it will do fine.

Thanks for the info, everyone
