New Motorbike specific GPS - Xroad!!!!

[Mike Werner]

There's a new motorcycle specific GPS out. Called the Xroad RM-A4000 (what a name), it's Korean, has Bluetooth, plays music (and videos).

It's small, but has a 3.5" screen, and a sun visor.

Rumored to cost around $600.

It plays videos???

Now thats given me an idea. If I video my favourite route from start to end then play it back while riding back, could I wave to myself coming the other way? and if so would it be at the half way point?

Any competition in the motor - GPS world is perfect. Keeps the developers alive so to say.

But this... "almost" waterproof and non compatable mapcharts..

Kinda like the "true 3D" looks though..

My thoughts exactly, competition might just start driving the price to reasonable levels.

It does have a few plus points, like the sun visor, and ram mount. The split 3D view does look workable....

I'm trying to get my hands on one, but my Korean is a bit rusty...

Would be a bummer if you buy it, and all there is in it is Korean roads and tekst
