Best Motorcycle GPS

I have a silly number GPS and GPS nav apps on my iOS devices. There is some redeeming feature, and often stand out feature for each of them. This not the prettiest, there is no three dimensionality in its in the maps, and the maps themselves are not the best in my home region of Vancouver island.

HOWEVER, I am in my third summer of using iOS apps to navigate while travelling on my bike. I would typify my style as light dual sport. Meaning, I fear no gravel or dirt road, but avoid single track. CoPilot has been with me on these adventures, along side of tomtom, igo, motionX, navfree; and non-directing apps Gaia, pocket earth, and allstays. Only CoPilot has a specific motorcycle vehicle profile. I also own a stand alone Garmin nav device. (Dont get me started).

I find the combination of pocket earth, allstays (maps thousands of campgrounds and more - well worth the money) and CoPilot to yield the most satisfying results. Youre nuts if you dont have real good physical maps to plan on, by the way. Like every computer program, this is a tool that will respond best to your best instructions.

Copilot offers the best manual routing by far! You can drag routes, and modify or remove waypoints way more easily than other apps. Just returned from an Oregon outback adventure where we meandered across the tops of inland and coastal mountain ranges. At every decision point, copilot saved us a stop to consult the map books.

I recently bought tomtom because of its new winding roads planning option. It is early days, and I hope it improves. I would not suggest it over CoPilot. If CoPilots app continues to improve, and maybe takes a harder look at being a motorcycle community pleaser, it can rise head and shoulders above other apps.

As a final note, they are very responsive to map errors Ive sent in. Please take the time to submit these, whatever GPS you choose. Community input from a legion of users on the ground is a great way to eliminate map errors and oversights.
