Is This The Best Nav Tool Ever? Carpe Iter

[@a9503128]

A-GPS (assisted, mobile) and GPS are different navigational aids that both use information from satellites to determine their exact location. A-GPS is faster in finding the location but GPS gives a more precise location information. Some phones, example iPhone 15 has integrated precision dual-frequency GPS, including support for GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, BeiDou, and NavIC. BUT what app are you using with CarPlay and Apple for navigation thus the dedicated GPS might be the best option

[@SwissAdventureRider]

I’ve. Had one for two years and it is awesome never leave the paved roads without it.

[@advswede]

I use DMD2 with a 1000 nits tablet and it´s great :)

[@minds4game]

Which tablet are you using?

[@Jonathan-L]

Life starts at 1000 (nits). Hugerock X7 (2600 nits) for the win!

[@advswede]

@@Jonathan-L 2600 nits 😲

[@EromliG1995]

Can you do some more content on the Carpe?

[@jamesbaliko9167]

Looking forward to your big review after your road trip on this.

[@stevenwalley261]

Hi Steve, have you done your road trip yet? I'm looking forward to watching your full review of the Carpe Iter CI Pad v4c. I'm on my fifth BMW NAV VI in five years - the ghosting issue is just infuriating.

[@ABIKETHING]

Yes I have. I’ve been on 2 since then but used a Chigee car play system on the 2nd road trip. Unfortunately because we’re a really busy mail order Company I don’t have the time to vlog and make videos on road trips. I’ve used carpe iter and I love it. There’s now a new v4c version and it’s even better. We’ve sold a lot. We’re currently a sole dealer for carpe iter in UK so after you’ve done your research and know you want one, at least you’ll have peace of mind you got it from us and have some dealer support in case you need it

[@Bandit-Iggy]

Interesting, is there fresh sattelite imiginary on this to navigate on? I use birdseye sattelite outside Europe to be able to navigate places without roads, i find it helpfull to get an almost new sattelite view of what lies ahead.

[@gardeni]

Thanks. Just bought and fitted the full BMW setup direct from CI (sorry! didn't know till now i could get it from you) and about to go off for two weeks in Pyrenees too. Hope you had a great trip. Question: how did you get rid of the google search bar that seems locked to my home screen?

[@ABIKETHING]

No worries! I don’t recall seeing that search bar. I’m about to let mine go with the bike so I’ll be opening another new one. I’ll look out for it.

[@gardeni]

@@ABIKETHING Ah, I now know that it disappears if you have it horizontal (like when it's on the bike!). Portrait, it appears again. Still getting used to it, but slightly disappointed with the max brightness. Better than my Nav VI, obvs, but not quite bright enough when wearing shades on a sunny day. Nice and big though!

[@telbenj]

I really thought you was going to bin it on route to the service brave man Bet they loved you 😂 turning up like that 👍😎

[@rlw85]

It’s a shame that you can not have the love child of this system, chigee and Garmin zumo 😊

[@harfang8188]

Hi, will you publish a video on how to fit all the system on the 1300GS? (I just find your channel, which is very interesting, and I understand relatively well what you say, I'm French 😁)

[@gekken111]

You're leaving so much on the table. Configure DMD2, which comes with the Carpe Iter. (Pronounced carpay eater, heheh). You also get several nav subscriptions free, I believe. That may be only through Thork Racing, though.

[@hywelprice9201]

Carpe iter - hit the road!

[@ABIKETHING]

Noted! I still have loads to learn. This video is just waving the flag saying we’re stocking it and there’s more to come once I’ve got to grips with it and understand all the tech better.

[@antglu123]

DMD2 is unbelievably good. Agree, the main benefit of this platform in this review is missing.

[@bennettsbikesocial]

DMD2 doesn't come with the Carpe Iter - its Locus Maps now. You can of course download DMD2 or whatever you want. I use predominantly OsmAnd, Calimoto and TomTom Go

[@richardstewart6900]

Is it possible to get Ordnance Survey maps on that satnav unit somehow?

[@Patrick-co1qm]

Will these work in America?

[@Dragorus360]

Do any of these work in the USA?

[@preston2adelaide]

Interesting option. I just installed a AIO-5 lite on my GS and I’m very impressed. I seamlessly connect my iPhone and enjoy all the features. I wish it was slightly bigger but can probably fix that with a trip to the optometrist! I also have a Rugged mobile that I bought off eBay and it use it on big trips. Like you I haven’t downloaded much to it other than navigation apps but it has a sim and I run it on another network to give me strength through diversity. It obviously doesn’t integrate with the bike wiz-wheel, but I just use start it at the beginning of the day and leave it running. It has a HUGE battery and can run all day. I prefer to apple interface but as you say you do get used to other systems.

[@jean-lucmelleker8206]

Hi, I use Calimoto to make routes. Is this device an Android system ?

[@ABIKETHING]

Yes but it’s not android auto so calimoto does work

[@jean-lucmelleker8206]

@@ABIKETHING good news. I will soon order a D7 pro bundle and the Carp Iter bundle for my R1250 GSA And probably a camera but I need advise. I'm lost between K3 K5 K7... Anyway I will leave everything at your place to be mounted... I will cross the Chanel coming from Belgium probably end august... There is certainly a good B&B in Chilcote. Have a great trip in France

[@Magicinstalls]

It pains me to correct you on how cell phones work with GPS, but they do have GPS tracking in cell phone. The reason that you cannot use them without Wi-Fi is because the maps are cellular based. If you were to work with an app where the data is downloaded to your phone like Sygic, doesn't matter where you are in the world if you have the map downloaded, you don't need cellular signal. Although dedicated satnav and GPS are better

[@maxflight777]

Your last line “Although dedicated satnav and GPS are better. *YES YES YES* why can’t everyone see this ? FFS.. I had a Chigee on my Husqvarna 701. (Even with the maps downloaded to my phone ) in tricky (weak GPS areas) Portugal and Morocco , it was inferior to a dedicated GPS device. Your post is spot on sir.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Is there a coin Operated Pressure washer car wash near the dealershop?

[@ABIKETHING]

If it makes any difference…..I did ask the head foreman at the dealership if it was ok to arrive caked in mud. It got pressure washed before they took it in.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

@@ABIKETHING I would not even want some one else pressure washing one of my bikes let alone working on it. I saw in 2020 my Local Power Sports Dealer was charging $120.00 per hour to work on bikes. Thus if you washed it yourself you would be saving close to $120.00 per hour..

[@pault4513]

While my bike isnt a gs1300 it is a gsa1250 i didnt do any modifications to my bike when mounting the chigee cameras in the specified height as per Chigee instructions also didnt just stick them on with double sided tape I’ll try to email a photo of my camera mounting brackets I designed and fabricated out of stainless steel

[@Jonathan-L]

HUGEROCK T71EX for the win!

[@hasheralfalasi9927]

it support IOS?

[@johanstrampraat1684]

If you put in your route on your phone it will still navigate without internet and that is the same for your chigee

[@ABIKETHING]

That’s not technically true. There’s a load of other parameters that need to be adhered to for your phone to not require data to navigate without an issue.

[@thewoodster8607]

IMHO, every rider thinks they have the best navigation system.

[@Jonathan-L]

Haha, even the guys with outdated maps!

[@milabaigar]

Steve , be interesting when you’re finished with service ask them for a copy of Mecanic comments to see if they register you non bmw accessories they plug it into the bmw service system, they did with mine here in ES ! There exscuse was that it may harm the bmw system and void the warranty! MF ‘s not just lights , cameras gps even new screen ! Be interesting .great vids 👍

[@davesmith7748]

Errrr.... why to you keep revving it all the while like a 2 stroke? Hope I dont end up with it somewhere down the line

Yea, but it's also more expensive.
