Beeline Moto readout – moto navigation made simple

In these modern times, with a smartphone being almost indispensable, one of the most oft-used functions is navigation. Most road riders will have a handlebar mount for a smartphone, using it to access navigation apps but Beeline Moto has a very functional solution.

Not everyone wants to have a smartphone on the handlebar, and unless your phone is IP-rated against the weather or you have a waterproof casing, inclement weather means the phone goes into the bag or jacket. Created by Englishmen Mark Jenner and Tom Putnam, Beeline Moto’s stripped down, minimalist navigation readout is the ideal solution for the rider who only wants to know what is necessary.

After setting your destination using the Beeline Moto app, no further internet access is required, saving on data limits and roaming charges if riding abroad. The waterproof and shockproof Beeline Moto readout simply shows you the direction you’re headed and where to turn when necessary.

Contained in the backlit LCD is the primary information of current direction and direction of the next turn, with a distance to next turn reading. The rider also sees journey progress and there is an option to show different modes and set measurement units.

Initially developed for cyclists in 2015, the Beeline Moto app also records your journey with speed and distance, overlaid on a map. Priced at 149 pounds sterling (RM1,061), battery life on the Beeline Moto is said to be 30 hours and availability is via Beeline’s Kickstarter page, where pledges of 503,520 USD (RM2.04 million) have exceeded the initial 50,000 USD (RM203,025) goal.
