Navigation Integrated Into BMW Motorrad Bike Display

TomTom reports on their recent partnership with BMW Motorrad to offer an in-bike navigation app. BMW Motorrad motorcycle owners can now experience the best of TomTom navigation using the BMW Motorrad Connected app. The smartphone app stays in the rider’s pocket, while visual directions are shown on the bike’s integrated handlebar display. The new functionality is available from today, with app users needing only to update their app, free of charge, before their next ride.
According to a press release, features have been motorcycle-optimized, with one of the most requested – the option to choose winding routes – being introduced. Audio directions are provided via Bluetooth® into the rider’s compatible helmet, so there is discrepancy with sound. Antoine Saucier, Managing Director, TomTom Automotive, says in a statement, “The combination of TomTom’s maps, software and services provides a fantastic motorbike navigation experience for BMW Motorrad riders.” TomTom’s navigation components are provided to BMW Motorrad via TomTom’s Navigation software, NavKit, alongside TomTom’s NDS maps, and services including TomTom Traffic, weather and speed cameras.
