GPS or Smartphone, which is the best way to navigate your trips?
This will be the topic of the video, so if you have nothing to do, grab your favorite drink and stay with me!
Now, let me first tell you what is the difference between real motorcycle GPS devices, like Garmin Zumo or other brands, and GPS made for cars. In fact, I used one of these car GPS for many years.
They are cheaper and got more options in terms of size, brands, and models, but they have one big minus they are not designed for motorcycles. This basically means that they are not water, shock, and dustproof. With a few words, they won't last long. Of course, this depends on your riding style, how often, and in what weather or road conditions, but I hope that you got the idea!

One benefit of having a dedicated GPS unit, or a second mobile/cell phone, is the safety aspect. Imagine if you come off your bike, you're injured, you can't move, you're alone, and no one knows you're there. The only way you can contact the emergency services is by using your mobile/cell phone, but it's on the bike and you can't reach it! A horrible situation to be in, but it could happen. Always have a mobile/cell phone on you when riding alone, so you can contact someone in an emergency, because one day you might need it, and it might just save your life.

@@d.Cog420 Thanks d.CoG! I've always been the guy resisting progress. You know, when CDs came out I went like "screw that, I got my cassette tapes" . Then I got into CDs. Recently I wanted to buy a new car..."what, no CD player?!? You just lost a customer!"😁. Anyway, for the longest time my navigation was my mouth. I would stop and ask someone for directions( or consult a map). But my cousin (who's 20 years younger) suggested I use Waze about 2 years ago. I tried it, and it saved my ass many times. Still, there are many areas where I'm out of touch with modern times and the latest technology. That's why a video like this one is invaluable for me. I really got a lot from it. I'll be watching it many times over, of course ..

@@tomaskral4685 I used to love new tech, will never forget my first walkman but there are so many choices and options these days and I don't know how the kids don't live on the edge of an overload breakdown! I like the point you make about asking being a large part of navigation back then too and through that how you meet new people and even end up in bars with them or their house at times. I just did a big trip around my country with GPS, smartphone and a new bike that is so much more advanced now it is much less liable to break down. As a result we had a great time and got good photos but didn't talk to anyone. Almost seems a bit hollow by comparison.

I prefer using my phone for navigation, like you said - the possibilities are pretty much unlimited. OsMand is my favourite App for offroad and TET navigation. Google Maps is my favourite for simple and fast road navigation. But on longer trips I do always carry a good old papaer map and compass, just in case 😉

I tryed many options, at least i come to following set up: My old Smartphone HUAWEI mate 20 Pro with TomTom and Google Map only for navigation. The phone is waterproof and attached permanently on the Bike, it is also plugged all the time with it's own cable. So far no problems with vibrations. No Sim card inside, if needed, I use my normal smartphone as a Hotspot. I have a single cable going into my Tankbag charging my Powerbank during riding. So far, this setup works fine for me... one plus is the fact, that it connects easily to my Cardo-System by Bluetooth, i can hear the navigation-command as well Musik in my Helmet. Keep on your nice content and style of videos!

For medium / long distance travels, my suggestion is to have both. They provide different information, and you always have a backup. It's even more important when you are crossing frontiers, if you are unable to connect to internet and you dont have the chance to download offline navigation. Also, the phone fails quite a lot, as you pointed out, when you are above 35ºc or in minus degrees, they tend to shut off, the ruggerized gps worth every penny on this matter. Also many people underestimate the gradual damage electronics takes with vibration. The problem with Garmin gps (i have a 4 years old zumo xt) is that you need to connect it to a PC for updates, or to manage tracks, and you need basecamp to do so (very very annoying, i dont know if this happen to tom tom users). If you dont have a backup, just dust off one of those old phones abandoned on your wardrove, and keep it as backup on your luggage. Very nice video ;)

The great thing about being old is I learned to navigate pre GPS or internet and computers, only paper maps, and strangely it has never been a major issue. 9 years ago when I went over to the UK and Romania I bought a hand held hiking GPS I carried in my pocket, it helped me navigate the cities but was basically there to let me know where I was rather than show me how to get somewhere, trying to get out of London was a nightmare but I did succeed.. Now I do the same thing with a phone and offline maps, it still only lets me know where I am and I guess the rest. If you traveled pre SatNav it is no different now, a SatNav or GPS is not essential, nor even a Smartphone, but they are convenient at times. Don’t want to sound like an old dinosaur but I did learn mathematics before calculators and writing before spell check, so navigating without a GPS is not that difficult. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

For proper off-roading I have been using Gaia GPS. It was primarily made for hiking and overlanding, however I've found it great for the motorbike. Works on all platforms and has a web interface as well - so you can make routes on your big home PC and they automatically sync to your mobile devices.

Hi Pavlin, for Garmin car GPS you need an OTG ( = on the go) usb cable or adapter. OTG is a specific usb cable connection. You can then connect to a normal usb power supply and it will be recognised as a power supply by the GPS. Works for me on two motorcycles.

I use an old smartphone with the battery removed. A few wiring connections allowed me to connect it directly to my CBR 250R. If I want to access maps with the internet, I turn on the Wi-Fi and turn my current smartphone's hotspot on and usually download the maps. It's helped tremendously and because there's no battery, there's no overheating issues for the most part. Using this trick for the past 5 years with no issues.

I’ve used a TomTom car gps in a waterproof case for many years. It still works today and it has lifetime updates for worldmaps, it even has gpx and twisty routes. This year I started using an old Samsung s8, again with TomTom software for routing or Google maps when I’m looking for something specific like an ATM. I mounted it above the dash and charge it with a wireless charger, so no cable or connector issues. I keep my regular phone in the pocket of my motorcycle jacket. I like the phone solution more, because it is more versatile and compact.

That was really interesting. We use google maps for about everything, but we do not go that far (and we still have paper maps just in case). Regarding devices: an option to consider, if you do not need gigantic amounts of data or the latest games, may be a real "outdoor" phone, water and dustproof. We now bought one for our daughter (she is now also fully into motorcycle riding and her phone got rained on - did not survive - no IP rating or something like that.). So he chose a brick of a phone, which she uses only for navigation. She does not need any of those cases, and the battery has 13.800 mAh, which is more than enough for one weekend. It is rather heavy, but for short messages in WhatsApp (I still like to read from her when she reached a destination) or a quick call, it is okay. Mounted to the handlebar, it does not matter.

Best of all worlds. Paper maps for the big picture, I can spread it out and see a lot of area at once. Garmin Zumo XT mounted and smart phone with Google maps. You are correct about the spelling issues with Zumo but with the smart phone I can easily get the correct spelling to enter. In my opinion, the biggest problem with Google maps is the limited number of way points. I tend to get carried away some times. Set your motorcycle up to recharge your battery packs and you never have to worry about them. Of the three options, paper maps is still my favorite one. If something happens to one, they can be easily replaced. Safe travels!

If you don't like garmin maps (Powered by Here), have many GPS communities that you can download to your device any map you want. I used for a long time a cellphone as navagator, when a changed to a Zumo it was a life changer. No internet and all information on that, anywhere.

I do not have any experience with GPS devices but on my travels I use my phone. Problems like the charging port issue that Pavlin described happen to me multiple times. Long rain will make the charging port wet and it will complain that there is water in the port. You can not charge it for a while after that. You need to get it dry. My next upgrade will be a mount with wireless charging and a second phone that just has maps. I will put the phone in a as waterproof cover as possible and hope it works out fine. I have had already a few close calls with battery almost dead on a trip in a place where I needed to find a specific camp grounds or fuel station in a new country I have never been to and its not a really good feeling :)

I travelled the TET for four months and only used my phone (Samsung Galaxy S20) to navigate. It’s really versatile especially for off-road use. I used LocusMaps Pro, the best navigation app in my opinion. It costs about 10€ but it’s worth it’s money. Maps cost under a euro per country and you can download lots of different maps. I only used the ones from LocusMaps itself. They are extremely detailed. There are a lot of good videos about LoMaps on RU-vid. For roads or city’s I use Google Maps. The only downside to the phone is, it overheats quickly so it turns down the brightness of the screen so you can’t see very well. And the worst thing, if you ride off road it will destroy your camera if you have mechanical zoom or stabilisation. This is the main reason I’m switching to a real gps this year.

In terms destroing optical zoom/stabilisation - this is why I'm thinking of buying another smartphone like Cat S41/61 just for navigation purposes. Still cheaper and easier to use than gps-motorcycle-navigation and Cat is water&shock&dust proof.

Another option may be to use a tablet designed for harsh conditions. I've just bought a used Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 8" tablet. I haven't tried it on the bike yet. But it is a rugged tablet designed for use in wet or dusty conditions (it works underwater), is allegedly resistant to vibrations, works with gloves on, can run any GPS software designed for Android (or Google Maps of course), has a memory card slot if needed, is bigger than any dedicated GPS and also a SIM card slot (for data). Because it's Android you can split the screen and run two different apps on each side if you want. I'll try it when I get another bike but in theory it should be good.

Thank you, another great presentation! Can I make few observations? 1. As I understand it, as GPS devices use signals from satellites, they almost never suffer loss of signal. Smartphones, on the other hand, are reliant on signals from nearby phone masts, which may be lost in rural or mountainous areas. 2. The "lightning" charging cables and sockets on iPhones are very sensitive to any moisture. Even with my iPhone in a waterproof case, connected to a 12V socket, in damp or wet conditions there is still a chance that I will get a message saying "Charging not possible due to liquid in lightning socket or cable". It can then take several hours to recover. 3. You didn’t mention the Beeline Moto system. It uses Google maps via your smartphone. But instead of a distracting satnav type screen, it consists of a small circular dial giving simple information about the next junction or deviation. It connects to your smartphone by Bluetooth, so no problems with cables and moisture. The Beeline device charges quickly and has more than enough power for a day’s riding. Route planning is done using the excellent Beeline app, usually in my case in the comfort of my room the night before! You can store your smartphone anywhere on your person or on your bike (maybe under your seat), or if you wish, you can mount it on your dash/handlebar, keep the screen off, and activate the app if you want more detailed route info via Google maps. Finally, it costs much less than a GPS satnav, will re-navigate if you go off the planned route, and has a "fun" option which finds good biking routes. Happy touring!

at the point 1---the smartphone are using the satellite gps signal....some of them are more accurate and performant than a motorcycle dedicated GPS....if you have the option to download the maps on the smartphone, the is not need to have any network connection, its just between satellite and the smartphone done ... as an example for Ip 13 has as Positioning: GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS, QZSS, on Samy Galaxy S21 Positioning GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO ..... 2 ---there is motorcycle smartphone holders with wireless charging, so no more cables.... 3---some are using the turn by turn voice of the smartphone gps if is connected to the helmet headset .... 🙂 👍

After years of trial and error, I've settled on a second, cheap smartphone (no sim card) on my bike for music and gps - and keep my "good" smartphone in my pocket. I share the internet connection of the good phone, via bluetooth to the one on the bike. While I've never had it... I think new bikes with Android Auto / Apple Car play are TOTAL game-changers!

I use the old smartphone for navigation each time I replace my daily driver. My preferred mapping is TomTom, as the maps are download, and use little memory, so it's convenient. TomTom enables complicated routes to be easy planned using as many waypoints as you need. Charging is via a wireless charger, so you can stick tape over the unused ports if you think there's a danger of wet or dust getting in. I may switch to Google Maps or Waze for local navigation as these provide a different sort of information.

Hello Pavlin! There is another option, Garmin Montana and Oregon. They are meant for outdoor use so they are rugged enough and they use regular AAA batteries. I have one and it works for me. The problem is only that they are smaller so you need to have good eyes. And yeah I know that it doesn't correct names but that I can search with phone, I can search addres but then use GPS so I don't drain phone battery.

Hi Pavlin, I recent traveled 5000 miles from the UK to Sozopol to Bulgaria on my R1250 GSA armed with both bmw connect cradle for my iPhone and the garmin nav 6. In my case both were useful and had serious flaws. Garmin nav is clunky, dated and incredibly hard to use as an easy navigation solution. Horrendously outdate dated to plan long trips and unreliable. My phone in the cradle had great nav options of course however was useless in the 35 degree sun from east Hungary to Sozopol as the screen simply blacked out. So in my opinion neither were suitable 😂. On another not don’t cargo-net plastic bottles of water on your pillion seat, it cost me £300 to replace the seat after the sun tried to set fire to it 😂. My trip can be seen on my channel

Useful video Pavlin. Just a few thoughts to share...my iPhone camera died after vibrations killed it = expensive GPS; using Google maps - could not find many new roads in Norway (they just build them too fast!); moved to TomTom - great for motorcyclists as it shows you how far to the next gas station & you can update the maps with any wifi, no need to connect to a computer - downside: it's not great at finding places you want to go to. Oh, and if using your phone make sure you download maps for Switzerland - otherwise you won't be able to afford to eat!

I like to use the garmin gpsmap series (I've used 60XC, 64S, 66S). easy to operate with gloves (good old buttons, no touch). I can take it off the bike and continue using it on walks. they do not depend on a permanent connection to the motorcycle, they work with standard or rechargeable AA batteries. a pair of AA batteries lasts a full day or more. can use OSM maps. resistant, no problems with vibrations, dust, heat or rain. cell phones are convenient, but they suffer from overheating in hot places like here in Brazil

I'd choose beeline moto device (though I don't have one yet). It's cheaper than big navigators and smaller, of course it works with smartphone but you hold it in safe place during your way. Of course you can miss a turn with it, but together with paper maps you probably won't. What about route planning you I'm fallen in love with GAIA GPS despite it's expensive cervice, but probably the best. I can to plan a route here which can include minor dirt roads and trails and than to export it as gpx file to you with beeline moto as well as print all the parts of planned route. I wish I knew how to buy beeline moto in my country now, but going to try different ways later.

Here in Alaska I use a Garmen Montana 700i, as I use it for hiking, jeeping, and moto. Plus it has satellite texting for emergency's, or giving friends info on your present location and health status without needing a cellular signal. It's Expensive, waterproof, expensive, shock resistant, expensive, and for satellite service... more expensive for active sub. But it's worth it when something bad happens, so I treat it like trip insurance.

Hi Pavlin, thanks for the info, but Using a modern mobile phone wil not work for several reasons 1e Overheating (and they will especially in bright sunshine, in the south of Europe) 2e The camera (if you use models with mechanical lenses mechanism) will break. (And no mount will protect you for that) they not designed for the vibrations on a inline twin, and defiantly not for a one-cylinder Enduro machine. 3e the power connectors (USB-C, USB-2.0 (type-A), ore even lightning connector, which is the most robust option (because there is a little click mechanism build in) will not hold forever, and they definitely get moister and dust in it and the connection will get corrosion eventually (experience it myself on several occasions with different phones). 4e They also expensive … unless you use a cheap model … but they are mostly not rugged and not as waterproof as a the more expensive Samsungs or iPhones. I agree with you that the software is mostly better on IOS or Android, that’s a fact. So for me there is only one option for now, dedicated navigation system like Garmin Zumo-XT, or TomTom, or even better ones like the one you showed for ATV vehicles. It is more expensive but you get more for the money.

Maybe there's another little pro about the motorcycle gps devices (like the Zumo): in most cases they have dedicated mount for car use also. So in the long run it could be worth, since the factory devices installed on both bikes and cars are generally crappy and tricky/expensive to update.

Hy, Pavlin. I agree with you, after I experienced a lot of situations. What I wana ask you is to talk in a future video about insurance. What you use, what you can recomand us. Especially for us from eastern countries, no many companies want to assure us. Is a regular insurance enough for traveling in remotes places like Patagonia or Pamir? what is your experience with this? maybe have an German passport you have not met such situations. For me, being for Romania , was a challenge to find a proper ensure. Thank you in advance.

I use my Garmin Navigator 5 on my BMW R1200 GS with the factory mount and have never had a problem. But in some ways I am still old school. I use a paper map and Goggle Maps to lay out my route and use a list of waypoints to plug into the GPS. I carry my smart phone in my jacket, so if I would have an accident the phone is where I can get to it for help. Plus I can charge the phone in my tank bag.

Voile connectivity is great, but I live in Tennessee in the US and 70% of my time traveling there is no signal from any provider. I use my phone with maps downloaded and the route, a Garmin Montana with the routes and maps with a satellite subscription, and a Garmin XT. I keep them all going when touring away from home and can triangulate, but it’s a pain and requires some babysitting.

But theres good rugged phones out there, with good battery life. One thing that i'm thinking it's a 7" rugged tablet, the bigger screen i think it's a must have, even if you want to make a ride with digital road book.

I couldn't agree more with everything you mention. Just to add that some companies like TOM-TOM discontinue support on significant popular models (i.e TOM-TOM rider),which is not that old ,6-7 y.o I think,and you have a very expensive gps which is totally useless.So the mobile phone with its pros and cons is an one way solution...

I am using a phone for maps. Using it for several years. Just changing the profile from car to motorcycle is easy. It's not a waterproof phone and is asking for an upgrade. Maybe I'll look at rugged phones. As for reliability, it has a strong gps signal, that's what matters for gps apps. And since it is an old phone, I have to plug it in the motorcycle.
