About the Author
I’m Mike, the author behind MotorcycleGPSHub. I have spent more than 20 years working with GPS navigators, motorcycle mounts, phone holders, and hardware built to secure electronics on vehicles. MotorcycleGPSHub grew naturally out of that commercial experience and my broader interest in mounting and wiring navigation devices on motorcycles, in cars, and in the field.
Motorcycle navigation has changed dramatically over the years. The early Garmin Zumo models were large, rugged, purpose-built GPS units designed to survive engine vibration, weather, and life on exposed handlebars. Over time, Garmin refined the Zumo lineup with brighter glove-friendly displays, satellite imagery, wireless map updates, group ride tracking, and seamless integration with Bluetooth helmet headsets.
TomTom entered the motorcycle market with its Rider series, while newer products such as the Beeline Moto 2 and dedicated waterproof Apple CarPlay and Android Auto screens have introduced completely different approaches to cockpit navigation. At the same time, smartphones paired with Google Maps, Waze, or GPX routing apps have become a practical option for many riders when paired with a quality vibration-damped mount.
I have used both dedicated motorcycle GPS units and smartphone-based navigation, and there is no single right answer for every rider. Some riders want a rugged, hardwired Garmin Zumo mounted permanently on the bike for multi-day touring or backcountry trails. Others prefer a wireless CarPlay display, a handlebar-mounted phone, or a compact turn-by-turn arrow display that provides only the essentials.
What We Cover on MotorcycleGPSHub: Side-by-side motorcycle GPS buying guides, individual Garmin Zumo and CarPlay reviews, RAM and AMPS mounting hardware, and step-by-step GPX, microSD, and 12V wiring tutorials.
