Carpuride 702 Pro Review

[@Nerb1]

You did a video that is not 3 year old footage? Awesome! I agree, bang for you buck, you cant go wrong with it.

[@AwesomePlayers]

@@Nerb1 I know, weird. Cheers.

[@marcf5656]

[@AwesomePlayers]

It runs off USB, put it on your desk!

[@greghudzik3770]

Thanks for the info. Good to see you again , Riley.

[@AwesomePlayers]

@@greghudzik3770 Thanks Greg.

[@marcpigeon7796]

Nice video Riley, as you know I’m not at all techie but I love the readable size as compared to a phone or worse yet a Garmin. Two thumbs up.🏍️🇨🇦

[@chris_rider]

Thank you Riley. Good stuff. I just installed one and love it so far! I've been on GAIA for 6-7 years now. Also thanks to Vlast and Simon for sharing. iPhone is comfy in my pocket.

[@AwesomePlayers]

Learning GAIA is on my to do list. Thanks for the comment.

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Looks a good unit Riley , it would be interesting to see how it copes in the rain as some gps screens can suffer with units confusing rain drops with touch.

[@AwesomePlayers]

Other guys in a local ride group have had no issues with rain.

[@mp6814]

Gee! I was thinking about you guys last week!!

[@AwesomePlayers]

Awwwww! Thanks man.

Best review I have seen for the Carpuride product. You should do more product reviews if you have the time and motivation. I would have liked to seen you link to something like your Sena and use voice commands to the iPhone rather than touch screen while you are riding. Is that possible? I do not like the idea of using touch screen once in motion. I am pretty sure my Africa Twin disables the touch screen once moving. I have never tried it as the left handlebar switches work well once used to them. The 702 is an outstanding value and if it can be used with voice commands to the phone, that is a point well worth making. I have a Cardo communicator and in theory, it should work. I have not tried voice commands with it yet. Thanks for all your videos. I am a long time fan but never wrote a comment to you before.

[@AwesomePlayers]

You can use the voice commands just like CarPlay in my truck. I can just touch the phone button on my Sena to activate Siri. Works well.

[@PeterRollins-mj5db]

Nice review. You should do more of them.

[@AwesomePlayers]

That is the plan. I feel like this is a service the community deserves, and I like free stuff.

[@yorkchris10]

After seeing Nerb's video, I checked if I could use Waze with it. I don't know what app people use to navigate, but I see a lot of people running over curbs and cones. I think Waze uses a lot of information to gather routes.

[@AwesomePlayers]

Waze seems to work well with CarPlay.

[@generalleoff]

Just want to let you know I regularly prune my KZbin subscriptions. I'll regularly remove channels I lose interest in over time. Few channels last long. You guys always pass the test. I have a top 5 list of channels I always enjoy watching and you guys are in it. Thanks for the content. I really apricate you guys.

[@AwesomePlayers]

@@generalleoff Your comment is much appreciated. Trying to post more and the only reason to continue is making contact with nice folks. Cheers.

[@generalleoff]

@@AwesomePlayers Yea you guys might post videos a bit sparingly. But that's alright. Your content and the friendship of all the Players just comes off genuine. I have said it before years ago but your style really reminds me of old Bruce Brown films like The Endless Summer and On Any Sunday. Just a good genuine humorous way to narrate a story.

[@ibuti01]

Almost looks like you know what you're doing. 😂 Nice review, this may be a nice option to have for future travels on the 990 parked in Europe.

[@AwesomePlayers]

Thanks Bill!

[@BobSacamano-dy3wg]

There are legal issues with displays in view of the rider, as well as the extra cost, which is why OEMs have made their own versions. The only bike I know that has car play is the Africa twin. But it's heavily restricted and requires the second display for speed and warning lights.

[@AwesomePlayers]

@@BobSacamano-dy3wg The reality is that a lot of people use their phones on the bars. Might as well have the bigger screen which makes navigating easier and should mean people spend less time looking at their screens.

[@650thumper]

Looks like a nice unit for touring. The AI of Google is very nice. Garmin and other nav apps don't handle addresses well, in my experience.

[@AwesomePlayers]

Garmin for day-to-day blows or is it sucks? Maybe both.

[@josch3738]

Wow Wow Wow hold on!!! Oh it's a review of a Carpuride 702.. NO it's not only that :D It is the drop that you've got a new Bike! When did that happen? Greetings to Canada

[@AwesomePlayers]

Picked up a Norden Expedition in the spring. Loving it.

[@generalleoff]

hell yea.

[@AwesomePlayers]

Cheers

When I got Carplay in my truck it almost caused me to crash every few weeks. I think this is a bad idea for bikes.

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Bikes have had touchscreen gps and music for years without major issues or restrictions.

[@AwesomePlayers]

@@Free.Press. In the past I was using my phone on the bike already. The key is mastering the voice commands. I can send and receive texts as well navigate hands free. I also make phone calls hands free. The biggest benefit will be when navigating. The bigger screen should make it safer.

[@Free.Press.]

@@Arachnoid_of_the_underverseI have used GPS for years on my bikes but having phone and text notifications etc… along with all the other distractions of Carplay is what I am thinking about.

[@XRRydah]

Yet another video with no reference to the point of Carplay/AA; to be HANDS FREE! Who cares that it does navigation? Your phone and your GPS already does that! How about a video showing HANDS Free making/receiving calls/texts? THATS what sets these apart! Also, which Sena are you using, and how hard was that to pair up, make voice commands, etc? Navigation is all everyone seems to want these things for, even thought that's the most common function out there for any other electronic device. Yeesh!

[@AwesomePlayers]

The Sena pairing was super easy as it was already paired to my iphone so I changed nothing on my 50. All of the Siri hands-free functions work as they would in your car. I'm just in the habit of using my finger to touch the screen to read messages and voice commands to send.

[@WrightWayAround]

i think the intro need refesh. im look at that be really good for t.e.t

[@AwesomePlayers]

You may be right. None of those bikes is around anymore.

[@WrightWayAround]

@@AwesomePlayers good see new veido out.
