Navigation » Beeline moto 2

Since my tomtom is no longer working properly I am looking for a new navigation option.
I have used my phone several times but in sunny weather I do not like it because of the glare on the screen.
Now I see the beeline moto 2 and it does appeal to me because it is just a bit more comprehensive than the first version of Beeline.
It seems you can also easily import routes from various apps.
What also appeals to me is that the app can also be set up for cycling and then of course the small size of the beeline moto 2 is perfect.

Are there people here who have experience with the Beeline moto 2?

I would love to hear the pros and cons from users.

This looks really good. Ta for the pointer to it as I'd never heard of it before.

I currently use my phone with a mapping app and just plan my route in advance and add markers to guide me, but I do find the phone a bit annoying as a navigator, and my method does not lend itself to re-routing on the fly... this would solve that. I love that it's also geared towards cyclists, although it seems that it does not offer off-road navigation, other than the 'compass mode' to point you in the right direction. Which is a shame as OpenStreetMap provides good mapping for cycles, on and off road.. such a function seems like a software update in the making!

I've been using the connected cradle together with my phone for years now, the worst glare I offset with 3-d printed cowl that throws some shade on the phone and screen but it's not absolutely necessary. Friend had the first beeline and while cool it did throw him in a loop occasionally he also reverted to this phone or simply following me :)

Maps have all the roads and amenities up to date, speed cameras, special traffic zones (i.e. resident through traffic only) and you can play around highways/b-roads/around traffic.

Sadly, I’ve found no real alternative to a quality GPS. You’d think they would make an app (even if it’s a pay app) that has full GPS functionality as compared to the standard “route to destination” that most nav apps are. Heck, my first GPS basically treated each stop as its own destination and asked if I wanted to continue to the next one on the route where newer GPS units treated stops as waypoints along a longer route.

have you tried My Route App (MRA). It has gained a lot of traction over here with a helpful section on the GS forum as you can plan a route with many waypoints.

I have a free account at the moment but might upgrade to the paid version when my ageing Zumo 390 is retired. You can just use the web version to create routes for use on other devices. People find it more intuitive to use than Garmin's Basecamp. It is very popular for those that ride in groups as it makes sharing routes easy.

I believe the navigation app is now becoming very usable and is used by those with Carpuride style devices.

I have been using a cheap mount onto the nav unit to use phone with maps, but am thinking about the aoocci c3, watched a review by "the missenden flyer " he seems well impressed & if you order from the link on his channel, he's on YouTube, there is a discount applied.
Only thing unsure about is the mounting onto the rs, but am sure with a wee bit fettling it will work.
Have also been considering the beeline, yet to make up my mind!!!

I am using the beeline 2 on my old CBR600F and I like it a lot. It is small enough to not spoil a sports bike's cockpit and does the job effectively. I used the previous version as well but the new one is much better for indicating the road ahead with junctions and can display some useful information like speed limits. Previous version was sometimes tricky to use in places like roundabouts and multiple junctions. Beeline app is practical for planning relatively simple routes and records your rides.
