Sat-nav outfit, TomTom knows a thing or two about helping people find their way around or, as some nay-sayers would claim, get hopelessly lost.
The new TomTom Rider is, according to the company, “designed for bikers by bikers”. There are two versions – Rider Europe (£400) and Rider Regional (£300) for the UK & Ireland.
It’s waterproof, naturally, and comes with a new RAM mount that is easy to fit and fits on most motorbikes. The touchscreen boasts large icons for use with gloves and there’s new Bluetooth headset that fits in open and closed helmets. The headset offers noise cancellation so that you can hear directions or take phone calls clearly.
They start shipping at the end of next month. Read more here.-Martin Lynch

I have had a Rider for about 3 months and mostly agree with the review as very accurate. There are a few things that could be improved but these are due to Navigator 5 rather than the Rider version (level of zoom on the display can't be set by the user etc).
