BikeSocial's John Milbank, drawing on 30 years of riding, rounds up his favourite motorcycle navigation gear. He recommends Garmin's Zūmo XT2/XT3 dedicated units (£429.99–£519.99) over TomTom, which hasn't released new hardware in years, and names Calimoto (€59.99/year) as his favourite navigation app.

Going by hard numbers, £429.99 to £519.99 for the Garmin Zūmo XT2/XT3 is a fair price band for dedicated hardware. Same as with gear — what you learn from wearing it for hours — this kind of nav gear is most trustworthy coming from someone who's actually run it for years in the field. I'd love to test the visibility once it's mounted near the fairing myself someday.

What's actually different about a sat-nav vs a regular car GPS? Waterproofing, glove use?

XT3 being £10 cheaper than the XT2 is unusual, prices usually only go up.

Sad that TomTom stopped making hardware, there used to be real choice.

€59.99 a year for Calimoto adds up, that's basically ¥10k in yen terms.

But if it finds roads you didn't know even near home, that's cheap for a travel companion.
