 TOMTOM rider V2 August 2, 2008
A brilliant navigator let down by frankly appalling build quality. I am giving up with mine and buying a Zumo. It's my 2nd Rider - I had the V1 which also packed up. I kept faith with a good design and I feel a bit of a mug. A real pity. The system is excellent, the quality control in my experience is rubbish. Perched on the front of a high mileage 1200GS is a tough environment but hardly a suprising one.

Customer support is terrible. July 1, 2008
I have three TomTom devices so I am fan of their technical ability to navigate you around the globe. The probem is when you need support. You have to go online and wade through a time consuming process designed not to help but to put you off ever bothering them. Just getting a few mounting bolts that were missing from the Rider 2 pack took over a month to arrive and required the scanning and e-mailing receipts. 'TomTom Home' which is required to manage maps, produced a conflict in my computer that stops the use of the internet and the tomtom device at the same time making the downloading of maps impossible. Tedious!
 Great Piece of Kit. May 28, 2008

This arrived today and after thinking spending almost 300 for a satnav was a hell of a lot, but i think its worth it. It links to my LG U990 (viewty) well allowing me to send and receive calls etc. When i was out testing it and trying to make it confused it always recalculated routes within seconds and has a sexy voice ;) The only thing i'm not to keen on is that the mounting kit. It makes my bike look a bit dodgy but fortunatly with the ram kit you can take most of it off with little fuss.
I found it difficult to get used to and set up at first. (especially as it wouldn't find signal when i was trying to do it indoors) but once it finally found signal it picks it up within seconds now.
I would recomend to anyone who is after one for their bike.
Tip Notch product. Just dont come off when your phone rings.

I was disapointed with the TomTom Rider V2. Yes it navigates well and the scala rider earpiece works well, i like being able to receive mobile calls.
I have used a TomTom one V3 in a car. The tomtom one is half the price and much quicker at picking up satellites and calculating routes.I was very impressed with the "Safety" camera alerts on the One. This was the main reason I bought the rider.
I was dismayed to discover that I can't change the proximity (for safety cameras) alerts on the rider. Neither can I change or select the audible warnings. I prefer different sounds for traffic light cameras and speed cameras.
The unit itself seems excessively bulky, this isn't a problem on the bike but when you park and put the unit in a jacket pocket it can be.
The on/off switch is a nightmare, there is no positive click and it can take some time to operate.
The rider feels like old technology compared to the one, it is sometimes a bit slow with its directions in central London.
I know the scala rider and Ram kit inflate the cost and the alternatives for a bike are more expensive but it seems pricey compared to the car versions.
Value for money? does what it says, would be great if tomtom could sort out proximity alerts

Amazing product, I now venture out to areas I wouldn't normally have, and I can enjoy my riding rather than worrying about where I am, where I'm heading, and how to get back (if you have a terrible sense of direction, you'll know what I mean). Very easy to use. As another reviewer mention, would be even better if there was a verbal warning for low battery, although this is displayed in the screen, and would be nice if it told you whether it's charging or fully charged, but to me these are minor issues, particularly since you can hook it up to your battery if your commutes are quite long.
