Hi

Does any one know when it's coming out, I think it would be great to use with both car and bike.

Also has anyone used the 500 or 700 on a motorbike?

Hi,

The Rider's still on track for a September launch, but no exact date has been given for UK availability.

IS the Rider basically a GO700 that has been water proofed?

It's more like the Go500 than the Go700 - with UK mapping and the major roads of Europe. But I think this is underselling the Rider, it's water proof, has a sun visor and antiglare screen, comes supplied with a BT headset and it's flatter than the Go500 so it's much easier to mount on a bike.

And the Rider will come with NAVTEQ data maps, won't it?

reason its flatter is that it has no speaker in it, all commands via a bluetooth headset. Seems there will be a car mounting kit as well.

Has been mentioned elsewhere that it will use NavTeq maps, not sure of this has been confirmed by TT.

Saw a price for it somewhere and it was close to £600.

MyTomTomGo hope to review it very soon.
