[@TheIdlesurfer]

I am a fan of this system but I got a unit with some hardware problems. You find out about a company when there are problems. I'm genuinely pleased to report that my first problem was fixed quickly. My biggest problem was sending the unit back as I live in Brexitainia. I had to send it back a second time and the Czech company said they'd send me a new one as I really didn't trust the device anymore. I'm happy to say this company, both in Portugal and Czech Republic are decent and honourable. They're also pretty responsive when there is a problem so my takeaway is this. A good system from a decent company. I had a bit of a crappy unit and the backup was honest and honourable.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks for the report. Glad to hear it 👍🏻

[@nathanbanks7091]

For the past 18 years, I did all of my motorcycle travel navigation with paper maps... I recently purchased a new PR7 with a tablet and DMD2 included. I am not very tech-savvy, so I guess I need to figure out how to use it.

First, let me say, you guys are very good. I have watched a few videos on your trips and I love it. Also a thank you for all the information you gather and share with the rest of us. I have a Garmin XT and the only reason I bought it was because of the screen brightness. Using the phone for sometime it pissed me off when I needed to look at the map and couldn't se a thing during the day. My question is... which screen is brighter during day light and direct sunlight? Garmin Zumo XT or the Caper Iter Pad? If they are at least the same, I will change my setup to the Caper Iter because Garmin sux. Planing a trip is a pain and most of the time it does not find the address I need, at least not in Portugal where I'm from. Any information on this comparison would be appreciated.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks 🙏 Garmin is very bright but Carpe is close or the same. But I haven’t seen them next to eachother.

[@aukanmeister]

I use the first version on my active tab 2. It's a good tool!

[@AllMotoTireLLC]

For many years I have been using a Garmin 590LM, coupled with Garmin VirbXE cameras. Although one can only pair one camera at a time, I had the ability to control the camera from the GPS unit. This makes it much easier to poke a button on the screen to take an image or start a video. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and I "upgraded" to a Garmin XT2. I was extremely disappointed to learn that since Garmin discontinued their Virb camera line, with the exception of their backup cameras, deleted camera control from the XT series. As a part time KZbinr, I relied on camera control to produce my videos.

[@NomadSweden]

Yes we miss what we get used to. :) I never had that so I don't miss it.

Hello Nomad Sweden. I've watched many of your videos on the Carpe Iter (CI) and DMD and would like your insight. I'm planning a cross-country trip across the U.S.A. and possibly down the Pan American on a DR650. It would be as much off road as possible. I've previously only used my smart phone and a TomTom Rider 550 for navigation, and both have worked well enough. But with this trip ahead of me, I was in between the Garmin Montana and the CI. The Garmin appears not to have POIs and city/highway navigation as a base map. It would be something I'd have to purchase. For the CI, it comes with Locus and you can really use any downloadable maps. What has been your experience with city and highway navigation without using your phone/sim data? I understand it is great with off road so I'm not worried about that. I'd like to use it offline or without data as much as possible, both in on and offroad. Thanks, Sean

[@NomadSweden]

Hi! DMD2 works very well offline. The main difference is that you don't get the super detailed directions like which lane to use etc. It shows where you need to go, that's all, but it's enough. Instead of the CI I would get the new DMD T-865x which is sold by Thork Racing. It's brighter, lighter and is made by the DMD2 team.

[@seansterr7236]

@@NomadSweden Thanks for the response! I just watched your video where you compare the CI to the DMD tablet and phone. How would you compare the holder and mounting brackets from CI and DMD. The DMD doesn't look like it locks it in as much as the CI does, though all reviews say it is very sturdy. And when you look at included offline maps, the CI has Locus world maps and the DMD would have their world maps included? And with that DMD world maps, you can search for any address or POI? I've been playing around with Locus and can't seem to do basic searches for addresses. For example, I can find a street but cannot look for a specific house number. I would like to understand the full specs for each map interface before I pull the trigger on a purchase.

[@seansterr7236]

Another question: I see you bought the DMD phone also for your Africa trip. Could you have taken your CI tablet and just hooked it up to your rented bikes battery or accesory plug? Or would mounting have made that too difficult since you have the special T7 mount on your personal bike? -Sean

[@NomadSweden]

@@seansterr7236 yes I loaned the dmd phone to test on the tanzania trip because it was easy to install and could run on usb. The big tablet would have been a lot more to install and a soecific mount fir handlebar would be needed. The phone was perfect for rented bikes

[@NomadSweden]

@@seansterr7236 Choosing between CI and the DMD-devices you need only to look at the hardware. They are both android tablets and both can run DMD, Locus and any navigation app you want. When you have the tablet you can then choose which software you prefer. The DMD2 app works well offline but I am not sure about house numbers offline. You have lot's of POI's available in offline. I find the DMD T-865 more "refined", light and the new version is even brighter than the CI.

Can the ABS modes be toggled via the DMD2? Could the DMD2 be used as a stand alone display in lieu of the factory display? Does it have a programmable odometer?

[@NomadSweden]

No dmd cannot control the motorcycle

[@gianlucajandelli6387]

Thanks for the video and the "Africa bit". With the Carpe Iter set with controllers and the touch disabled, if you take it off its mount, does it fall back on touch control automatically to use it as a normal tablet?

[@NomadSweden]

If you disable touch you need to enable it again before you release it. If i forget that and leave the bike i just restart the tablet and touch is back on

[@philhagoes9339]

Can I watch NOMAD SWEDEN on this device? Great review! How about a map showing all your adventures on the wall of the ManCave?

[@NomadSweden]

I would never promote a device that could not show Nomad videos! Yes I am looking for a world map :)

[@philhagoes9339]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see it.

[@mfcmagalhaes]

I. Priced you use iphone as your comunicativos device. Are you able to connect it to dmd2 or not at all? Thx

[@NomadSweden]

Dmd only runs on android

[@tshansen]

Hahaha love the intro Tjommi, and that is spot on. It is really time GARMIN takes this stuff serious. I think GARMIN is the simple and easy solution, and you know exactly what you got, or maybe surprised you don’t get more. Either way, for navigation on road and down in the big city’s, I have had great help in GARMIN. But i really need to take a closer look at this option for future adventures. Can’t you just switch to google maps to get directions? Really well made video that explained a lot of the questions i had about it. The controllers look great when you learn where everything is. Hahaha, i will promise to learn you the proper Ååååhh, if you teach me how to trow up the tent 🏕️😂 😂 Cheers

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks man 😊 yes i use google maps and other apps also. Google even works with the controllers

[@Africatwin93]

Fantastic stuff. Love it

[@AlexFBuchholzPhoto]

Great explanation and a really great channel. Congrats. By the way, can you use the roadbook with the smaller phone-type device as well? Cheers.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks 🙏 yes roadbook works on smaller devices too

[@7443jan]

I use my xt a few times in a year. I don't like the user interface. it is not logical. I understand my Fenix 6x pro interface, I wonder why garmin does not use the same interfaces on each Garmin product. cannot use connect to transfer gpx files to xt. Thanks for mentioning dmd2. Hilarious and well made.

[@dirtbikes_and_drones]

To transfer GPX to Zumo XT, you need Garmin Drive.. I don't understand Garmin's logic to have a different app for nearly every device.

[@pauls4708]

what are the maps based on please? I want a device like this for my 4wd.

[@NomadSweden]

Based on open street maps

[@pauls4708]

@@NomadSweden NZ has its own open street maps project which are garmin compatible could i use these maps?

[@MarcBorter]

Do you already know when the new version will be rolled out?

Sorry not yet

[@dochonk961]

Entertaining and informative, as usual. Thank you!

[@NomadSweden]

No, thank YOU

[@UncleLongbeard]

interesting devices, and good review. Now I want to test it myself

[@bushcaptain]

I really like the entusiasm and the work you put in to this. A great ambassador for the product. I have followed the development more or less since the start, and bought the lifetime access and controllers. And how much I really like to like it I am so far quite disappointed about the map it offers. Very lacking and not much help offroad. I always go back to locus where I can use topographical maps from lantmateriet in sweden and CNIG in Spain. I use the DMD/2 as a main screen on my mounted tablet. It is a nice main screen for bikes for sure, helpful to get a overview and easy access to the other applications. But for me the type of tablet and the maps I can use are more important. So I always start and navigate through the locus map, there is just so much better setup and user friendly. I know about the restrictions of the map use and that is why DMD uses the free maps. But if it could have an option to load your own offline maps it would be a whole package. Lets see in the future. Keep up the good work and ride safe.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks Andreas! I know they are looking at new map layers and I have promoted Lantmäteriet :) so let's hope for that. In Sweden it's unbeatable in detail. Cheers!

[@bushcaptain]

Great stuff.. Yes I do hope for that 😊

[@jessrumblin]

😂 I love it! I also feel Garmin doesn’t think the motorcycling community isn’t their focus market as they have a very large commercial market. Garmin new developments seem to go for marathon/cross country runners, personal sports kinda stuff 😢. So personally I haven’t bothered upgrading my Garmin 64

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you :) Indeed they have great products in some areas they seem to focus on. Let see how the tackle the ADV market :) I have popcorn and watch them with suspense

[@islanddreaming8591]

big question is the screen as bright as the zumo XT?

[@NomadSweden]

The Carpe Iter Pad is as bright. (1000 nits). But you can choose any Android device.

[@wesc23]

As the author of Solitaire for Windows and a frustrated Zumo XT off road user I whole heartedly approve. I have a Samsung Active Tab coming to try out DMD2. I’m excited to not sing songs on our Cardo Packtalks about all the horrible things we want to do to Garmin product managers.

[@NomadSweden]

Haha thanks!

[@nicoradv3923]

I loaded DMD2 into my tablet. Even though i have not been able to use it, just playing around with it, really like it. One thing that bothers me is no no auto routte, and having to use that Garmin software to make a route and then load it into tablet. Running other android app, like radar scope (if call sig) will be a lot help as trips i take, weather can change in a heartbeat (bad storm reroute, well avoid anyway) Actually what i just said is not really correct. I can startup google map offline and use it for navigation if on highway. That's my plan anyway. Mostly i got it for the BDRs and other adventure tracks/routes. Humm, so i can play the music i have stored on my tablet also via handlebar controller ?

[@NomadSweden]

Cool. If you use the beta version it's updated at least once a week, often more. Right now it does have auto route with different riding styles etc. You can also control music since it has it's own controller widget you can place on the home screen. It's moving fast in development and it's getting close to perfect.

[@adventure4me]

Hej, tack för en grym ”video”! Hur får du fram grusvägarna så att endast dessa syns tydligt på kartan? Hur får du endast grusvägarna i annan färg?

[@NomadSweden]

Det är en inställning på kartan. Tänk på att detta är den kommande versionen. Inte den nuvarande. Släpps i februari.

[@brovaktarn]

So… What to say?😂 Just bought the Tablet, Adventure control and the mount for my GSA, a lot of €:s…. Hope the next version of DMD2 is coming soon. And Robert, more videos about how to operate and how to install, and optimize this things. Maybe I can pay you a visit, when the snow in Dalarna has meltet. I will bring some local beer….😉 Hej hopp!

[@NomadSweden]

You had me at beer! Welcome!

Good video - volume was very low in sections - had to keep changing the volume to hear.

[@NomadSweden]

Ah ok didnt realize. Thanks

[@jothain]

Are there any free roadbook creation possibilities?

[@NomadSweden]

It does not have a roadbook creator.

[@jothain]

@@NomadSweden Thanks, can it save ride to gpx? *edit: never mind, looks like from site it should be able to*

[@RobWhittlestone]

This is GREAT! Is this what Noraly (ItchyBoots) is using in Series 7? Excellent video, excellent setup! All the best, Rob in Switzerland

[@NomadSweden]

Many mistake ItchyBoots setup for this. She uses a tablet that looks the same but is not Carpe Iter and she uses OSMand app for navigation 😊 But she is closing in 👍🏻
