For the latest traffic information, which is updated in real time, the navigator can go online either via a WiFi hotspot (which customers can provide via their smartphone, for example) or via the SIM card installed by the customer. This is even possible while riding and the user is always kept up-to-date.

BMW Motorrad presents the ConnectedRide Navigator.

The new Navigator featuring seamless BMW Cloud integration makes navigating on a motorcycle a joy.
