Best Motorcycle Navigation and GPS Trackers from XLMOTO

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a navigational network based around orbiting satellites owned and run by the US Government. The project cost USD12 billion to build and USD750 million a year to run. However, thanks to XLMOTO, you can tap into the network for less than the cost of a motorcycle oil and filter change. Amazingly, the small device on your handlebars has access to at least 24 satellites orbiting the earth at around 20,000km.

Each satellite circles the planet twice daily and transmits a unique digital signature. A motorcycle's GPS is a receiver that uses information from three satellites to triangulate your location precisely. A GPS can calculate your location anywhere on the planet within one metre in good atmospheric conditions. The GPS is flexible and has several uses beneficial for motorcycle riders. Let's take a closer look at the three main ones and see how they make the biker's life on the road easier.

Satellite navigation system

A motorcycle GPS sat nav allows the rider to enter a destination and get real-time, turn-by-turn directions. In addition, you can choose the type of route you want (either direct or scenic). The motorcycle GPS satellite navigation units offered by XLMOTO also have many excellent features. These features include built-in wi-fi, lifetime updates to world maps and Bluetooth connectivity to a smartphone. So you to take calls or read SMS messages on the sat nav screen. In addition, alerts warn of upcoming traffic enforcement cameras and traffic delays on your route.

Navigation aid

You may think investing in a stand-alone motorcycle GPS sat nav system is unnecessary, especially if you have an expensive smartphone equipped with a map app. If you do, then XLMOTO has the solution. Navigation aids are unique, compact devices that offer direction information in either compass mode or basic turn-by-turn information. These small circular units are discreet and ideal for a custom or retro-style bike and link by Bluetooth with your smartphone.

GPS tracker

GPS systems are more than just road trip directional information; a motorcycle GPS tracker is an excellent way to protect your bike from theft. A small GPS device is hidden on the bike and wired into the battery. If a thief moves your motorcycle, it sends you an immediate alert. Moreover, if someone steals your bike the tracker will transmit its location to your smartphone. Be aware that this type of system needs a SIM card.

However, if you take advantage of the global positioning system, whether it's a motorcycle GPS or a motorcycle GPS tracker, XLMOTO has an affordable solution.
