BMW Motorrad Navigator V Provides Access to Real-Time Motorcycle Information
Today we announced the new BMW Motorrad Navigator V. This new navigator is designed for BMW motorcycles and combines the latest Garmin navigation features with exclusive,
BMW-specific functions, such as a customized mount, access to real-time motorcycle
information[1], advanced
audio and Bluetooth capabilities, and more.
“Our partnership with BMW Motorrad has proven very
successful over the last 11 years and we’re thrilled to introduce this
next-generation BMW Motorrad Navigator,” said Ulrich Niedermayr, automotive OEM
account executive at Garmin Deutschland GmbH. “The BMW Motorrad Navigator V
goes far beyond providing simple road guidance by giving riders instant access
to real-time motorcycle data, extensive route planning capabilities and
advanced audio and Bluetooth functionalities.”
BMW Navigator V features a large 5”
display that is glove-friendly and makes navigation
information visible at a glance. The integrated stereo Bluetooth functionality
lets riders hear navigation prompts, answer calls or listen to music through
their helmet. On select BMW motorcycles, riders can even view comprehensive
real-time information1 on the MyMotorcycle Pages,
such as tire pressure, gas levels, and when their next service is. The system
also tells the rider
how many times he shifted gears, used the front or rear brakes, the average
throttle position, and more1. The page can be configured for
multiple data field layouts and users can re-arrange the data in the order they
would like to see. With the Last Ride Analyzer users can view a summary of the
motorcycle data, trip conditions and stats of their last ride.
Premium Garmin navigation features include Active Lane
Guidance, Real Directions, junction views, 3D terrain, and more. Garmin Real Directions
guide riders
in a natural and intuitive way. The new feature uses recognizable landmarks,
buildings, traffic lights and stop signs to give directions. For example, it
tells riders to “turn right after the Starbucks®” or “turn left at the traffic light.” The
new Active Lane
Guidance displays an animated graphic next to the map view that uses brightly colored
arrows to indicate the proper lane needed to make a turn. PhotoNavigation
allows riders to simply click on a geo-coded picture stored on the device to
start navigating to that destination. When purchased with maps for Europe or
North America, Motorrad Navigator V includes lifetime map updates[2].
Even before riders get on their motorcycle,
they can conveniently plan out their trips in advance using the BaseCamp trip planning desktop software, creating longer and more detailed
tours with up to 3,750 shaping points per trip. Trips can easily transferred to
the navigation device via USB.
BMW Navigator V is
compatible with Garmin Smartphone Link, an Android and
iPhone app that provides riders access to live services[3],
such as traffic camera images, weather and fuel prices, utilizing the
smartphone's mobile data plan.
The BMW
Navigator V comes with a BMW exclusive,
four-button motorcycle mount that enables many quick-key functions for extra
control and usability. The mount and GPS device are vibration-tested,
waterproof (IPX-7 standards[4]),
and designed to withstand fuel sprays and UV rays. On R 1200 GS and K 1600 GT /
GTL models with factory-installed navigation option many functions
can also be controlled directly using the multi-controller on the left
handlebar.
