[RideApart] - Navigating on a Bike Made Easier with Beeline
Navigating on a Bike Made Easier with Beeline
The slick new tool to navigate we all want Navigating on a motorcycle can be a pain in the neck. You plug in your smartphone using some form of helmet-adapted—or not—headphones and try to listen to that the instructions as you go. Between the wind noise, the road noise, and your gps*giving you last-minute instructions, it can become difficult to understand where you have to go at all. If you're anything like me, a visual element to support the navigation can be of great help. There's already enough to look at on a bike though, and trying to read a map on your cellphone is a definitely*not an acceptable option. While most companies are coming up with fancy—and expensive—HUD technology, Beeline strolls in with a simple, yet safe and efficient new gadget. MORE BIKE-FRIENDLY NAV: Finally, Google Maps for Motorcyclists The sharp-looking device simply called "Moto" is the adapted solution for those who need the visual support to navigate. The gadget, shaped like a compass, comes with a mount that can be fitted on any handlebar, which makes it easy to peek at. This is Beeline's second concept: the first one was a similar system adapted for bicycles. The company launched its first Kickstarter campaign in 2015 and received more than double its goal. ALL-INCLUSIVE HELMET: New Jarvish Smart Helmets with HUD and Camera With the Moto device, Beeline's new Kickstarter has already reached over ten times its $65,807 goal, with backers having spent close to a million dollars to get the*Moto. The reason it's so successful is simple: the gadget looks good, is versatile, and most of all, is pretty affordable with a launch price of $129 (retail pricing is set at $199). STILL BETTER THAN EARPHONES: Domio Audio Set Finally Complete with Mic Easy to read and straightforward—just what you need for ridingThe Moto connects to any Apple and Android device via Bluetooth and communicates with a dedicated app to map out your route. You can import GPX files as well as update the*app for the latest road information, and once your path is set the device won't use data unless you go off course. It will guide you step by step like a standard GPS or act as a compass and let you do you own thing, simply showing you the distance and direction to go. The*display is minimalistic and easy-to-read, using big arrows to point you in the right direction.*The*device is shockproof, waterproof, IP67-rated, and the battery will run for up to 30 hours before needing a charge. Deliveries are expected to begin in February 2019. Source: Newatlas More from RideApart:
