Why choose motorcycle navigation screen over smartphone holder?

Should I choose a dedicated motorcycle navigation screen or just use a smartphone mount? While a smartphone may seem like the simpler and more economical option, Motorcycle Navigation screens are specifically designed for the job and offer unrivaled advantages in terms of safety, durability and performance. This article breaks down why they are the better choice.

1.Rugged and Ready

Unlike smartphones, motorcycle navigation screens are built to endure the unique challenges of riding. They’re designed to handle extreme weather conditions, vibrations, and direct sunlight—elements that can wreak havoc on a smartphone.

Weatherproofing and Durability

Motorcycle Gps Screens have a strong waterproof rating (IPX8 Professional Certified), which means they can withstand heavy rainfall without compromising functionality. Smartphones, on the other hand, even with waterproof cases, tend to have problems in these conditions.

Vibration Resistance

The vibrations from a motorcycle engine can damage a smartphone’s delicate internal components, especially the camera. GPS screens are engineered to endure these vibrations without breaking a sweat.

2.Superior Visibility: Readable in Any Light

Imagine riding under the blazing sun, squinting at your smartphone screen, or trying to wipe away raindrops to see your next turn. Motorcycle navigation screens eliminate these hassles.

Anti-Glare and High-Brightness Display

Navigation screens often feature high-brightness IPS displays with anti-glare coatings, ensuring visibility even in direct sunlight. Smartphones can struggle with glare, making it hard to follow directions safely.

Screen size and clarity

Dedicated screens, such as the 6.25-inch and 7-inch models, provide plenty of room for clear, detailed maps. They improve overall safety by reducing the need for riders to squint for long periods of time or take their eyes off the road.

 3.ase of Use with Gloves

Touching a smartphone screen while wearing gloves is next to impossible unless you invest in specialty gloves. Motorcycle navigation screens, on the other hand, are designed with glove-friendly touch capabilities or physical buttons, ensuring effortless operation on the go.

4.Enhanced features for riders

Motorcycle navigation screens do much more than just point you in the right direction. They are equipped with rider-centered features that smartphones can't match.

Off-Road Navigation

For adventure riders who like to explore off-the-beaten-path trails, dedicated GPS devices often come preloaded with off-road maps and terrain features. Smartphones, on the other hand, lack such specialized features.

Weather alerts and traffic updates

Many GPS systems provide real-time traffic updates and weather alerts so riders can adjust their routes accordingly.

Dual Bluetooth for music and calls

Advanced navigation screens support dual Bluetooth functionality, allowing riders to listen to music and take calls through the helmet system without interfering with navigation.

5.Safe mounting and portability

The smartphone mount may seem convenient, but it may not be reliable. Many mounts loosen over time and there is always the risk of the phone falling out during a bumpy ride. Motorcycle GPS screens are designed with secure U-shaped or portable mounts that ensure stability.

6. Lifespan and cost-effectiveness

While a high-quality motorcycle GPS screen is more expensive in price than a cell phone mount, it's worth it in the long run. It protects your smartphone well.

Because using your smartphone as a GPS device puts it at risk of physical damage and shortens its lifespan. A dedicated motorcycle navigation screen protects your phone from these dangers.
