One thing that can be said about truck and motorcycle GPS gadgets is that there are so many brands available, it's rather difficult to know which one you should get for your vehicle. In this article, we will discuss what you should be looking for in a GPS.
1. Water-proof
If you ride your motorcycle hard, your motorcycle GPS needs to be able to handle it, therefore, you will need a more rugged GPS than you would use in an automobile. There are some manufacturers that are producing GPS systems specifically for motorcyclists, but you should examine their reviews.
2. Remote voice activation
Devices can also be waterproofed, so that they work in inclement conditions.
Motorcycle users will find this a definite advantage.
A decent GPS should give you voice directions on where to take a left turn, tell you about speed limits and warn you if you're going over the speed limit for that particular road. Best of all, it should tell you how many minutes and kilometers are left before you reach your destination.
4. Info on places of interest
GPS Audio
5. Accuracy
GPS technology uses the very accurate clocks on 24 orbiting satellites to measure a distance. This requires that the antenna on your truck & motorcycle GPS must have a clear sky view and needs to have its batteries properly charged.
Mapping devices on them can be used to locate gas stations, diners and other facilities that travelers are generally in the need of.
