I went on a 5 day trip around part of uk to Ierland in really bad weather heavy rain for most of it. The satnav seemed to go slow and not the shortest root at all. On twice on the motorway the satnav cleared its self and I had to reset it passing 1 of the Junctions I was to take, don't no if it was because of the rain after 4hrs of riding...also done it again after 4hrs riding in the dry..? Bit disappointed but very good on picking up WORKING speed cameras and that is why Iv still got it..had a few more upgraids sins so hopefully they were only glitches ...

Having owned (and loved) all of the previous TT Rider models since the original, I have seen great leaps forward in both the software and hardware with every new model. Whilst the new 400 certainly has some further very useful enhancements, in several ways it is less easy to use than the previous model which I find quite surprising as well as frustrating. I've used it for 8 weeks now on various trips (2000 miles in total) and I'm only just managing to find work around ways of doing what the previous model did with ease. Some features are no longer possible at all. My conclusion is that the TT Rider 400 is very much like a car Sat-nav and it works really well in the car (i.e. get me somewhere via fastest route, avoiding traffic with options to avoid motorways etc.). In fact, it probably is essentially a car sat-nav which is adapted slightly to appeal to motorcyclists. On the bike, however: - I want to plan routes (on the device) which go via waypoints and share them via Bluetooth with others - I can't. - I want to be able to choose most menu items with gloves on - I can't - I want to be able to read road names, indicated speed etc. with a quick glance - I can't Don't get me wrong, the TT 400 is a very sophisticated sat-nav for the money. The hardware is also spot on (premium pack). If you want it 75% for the car then it will probably serve you well. If you are an occasional motorcyclist, again it will probably be fine. For me though, I hope TomTom release software upgrades soon which: 1. Allow easy creation of routes (on the device) using waypoints which can be shared via bluetooth 2. Restore the glove-friendly nature of previous models 3. Increase font sizes and text contrast (white writing on a light grey background is not good)Read full review

I have been using Tom Tom units for a number of years and have always used car units with a Garmin case dedicated for mounting on Motorbikes. Until my wife purchased a new Honda which included a Tom Tom 400 bike unit. I didnt initially take much notice until we were out and on the return home run she led the way and we took an amazing cross country route which was all down to the pre planned additional routes for bikes. In use it is pretty straightforward as with all Tom Toms and is easy while wearing gloves. The mount is brilliant and fast to use as well. Buy one if you have the funds you wont regret it for one minute. Ged

I find the tom tom rider very easy to use both on the bike and in the car, it is easy to conceal when not in use in your pocket as it is not bulky.Fitting it to the bike is made easy by all the instructions and kit provided, you don't need to be an electrician or a magician it truely is easy.Fitting it in a car is as simple as pluging it into the cig lighter and sticking it to the windscreen where you can watch it, with the ability to listen to instructions via your blue tooth ear piece if you so wish. Updates via tom tom home are not costly when wayed against doing a therty mile detour when you miss your turning on a motorway and all the agro that goes with it.
There's no getting around it, as the original model, the V1 lacks some of the sophistication of the top-end of current range, but is none the less entirely functional, and is more than adequate for most people's day to day requirements. Clear and easy to use operation, even when using thick gloves, uses a "resistive" screen which won't allow 'multi point gestures' such as "pinch" or "stretch" - more like "poke" and "prod" The unit primarily supports earlier bluetooth protocols, this may result in compromised functionality when trying to pair with the very latest smartphones, but in field tests is still capable of accepting incoming calls when linked to an android phone, and worked fine with modern "cardo" headsets. Overall, it's a trade-off between cost and "bells and whistles" Given that this unit has been around for about ten years, a replacement battery should be top of your "upgrade" options (these are still widely available) unless, of course, you're lucky enough to buy a unit which has already been fitted with a new one.Read full review
