The road, without ever getting lost.
A dedicated GPS
The motorbike GPS, like the TomTom Rider range, is designed for two-wheeled travel: readable screen in bright sunlight, usable with gloves, waterproof housing and vibration-resistant. It offers winding routes that avoid motorways in favour of smaller roads, and connects to the helmet intercom for voice instructions.
Other connected accessories
High-tech accessories come in various options:
All accessories are gathered on the high-tech accessories page.
A sturdy mount
The mount is as important as the device itself. The powered TomTom mount, connected to the bike's electrical circuit, charges the GPS while riding. Specific mounts Givi and SW-Motech, designed for a specific motorcycle or scooter model, securely attach to the handlebars or dashboard and place the screen within the field of vision, without obstructing the gauges.
GPS or smartphone
A smartphone in a dedicated mount can serve as a GPS, using a navigation app. However, it doesn’t handle rain, heat, and vibrations as well, which can damage its camera stabilizer: a mount with a vibration damper is recommended. The dedicated GPS remains more reliable for long trips and areas without network coverage.

Frequently asked questions
Which GPS should I choose for my motorbike?
A motorbike GPS, like the TomTom Rider range, is distinguished by a screen that is readable in bright sunlight and usable with gloves, a waterproof case that resists vibrations, and winding routes that avoid motorways.
Should I prefer a phone or a navigation device for riding?
The phone is sufficient for occasional trips, but it heats up, drains quickly, and vibrations can damage its camera. A waterproof motorbike GPS, designed for the road, remains more reliable for longer rides.
How can I securely attach a GPS to a motorbike?
A handlebar mount, like the one from SW-Motech, or the powered mount of the TomTom Rider can be attached to the handlebars or dashboard. It’s important to check that it doesn’t obstruct the steering or the gauges.
How do I plan a motorbike ride route?
One can plot their route on a computer or app, favouring winding roads and avoiding major roads, then transfer it to the GPS. Planning breaks and fuel stops helps avoid surprises.
Can a GPS be installed on a three-wheeled scooter?
Yes, with a suitable mount for the handlebars and the model's apron. Givi offers a specific mount for three-wheeled scooters that places the screen within the field of vision without hindering driving.
