On my GS I use this cheap Mount from Amazon, which just clips into the satnav cradle and even powers your phone off the bike. Hands down best solution currently available. amzn.to/3mnbBJU When I’m not on the tractor I use the Ultimateaddons phone case for my phone with their Helix strap Mount ultimateaddons.com/collections/attachment/products/ultimateaddons-helix-locking-strap-bike-attachment-21-40mm The Helix strap connects to any bike plus it has enough ‘give’ in it that it doesn’t cause any vibration issues with your phone’s camera. I’ve tried other mounting solutions, either myself personally or through close friends, and they’ve all caused issues. If you go for the Helix strap, use code TEAPOTONE10 for 10% off the UA range 👍

I completely agree that this is by far the best satnav for bikes, especially for the round trip mode. Unfortunately I live bang in the centre of England and so had to choose one half of the country as my free map (I chose Northern half), and consequently many routes which stray into the Southern half are unavailable to me. I did ask Calimoto if they could add a Central region option as the free map, but no luck. If you use it all the time, then £49pa is reasonable I suppose, but for the casual user it's rather steep I think. No complaint as to functionality though.

Great review. Think I'll give Calimoto a chance. It does sound as if you have to launch the app every time you go on a trip. It would be great if they added a feature like Bluetooth connection, so when I turn on my Cardo Packtalk, it will start logging my position (just like the Fuelio app). I'll be sending a pm for a code on Facebook. Driving is a bit hard right now. My biceps almost got torn when my XJ900S wanted to lay down back in March. Great channel. I've watch many of your videos now, especially on you helmet cam reviews. May the dry roads and warm feet follow you. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰

Hi Bruce, great information video but just one question. I use Google maps at the moment but when you force a specific route using waypoints, the app pauses when a waypoint is reached, forcing me to stop, take off a glove and confirm that I want to continue. Does Calimoto do this or can you ride without any screen interaction? Thanks in advance for any help.

@teapotone 2 жыл бұрын
Yes they should be, but if you have it set to the Super Twisty option it can take you down some really ‘rural’ roads that may not have been used in a long time! I pretty much never use the super twisty option because of that. It works off OpenSource mapping - not the google mapping structure most main satnav’s do - hence why there’s no speed or traffic information available. They hope that as the user base grows and finances increase, they can invest into the google mapping infrastructure and these facilities will become available

As a dye in the wool life long satnav fan-boy, I'd try'd and dismissed every navigation app until I gave this one a go after hearing nothing but good things about it. I don't use a satnav anymore, infact I've not even fitted it too my new bike, its almost a joke how easy it is to plan a route or multi day trip, sort it out on your laptop, so no more messing about with a tiny screen and fat fingers, and boom, its on your phone. And yes, its well worth getting the paid upgrade, the off line mapping will help save you some data but more importantly comes in if, like me, you find yourself out in the sticks where phone coverage can be a bit hit n miss.

Hi Bruce, informative video on Calimoto. Hoping to do a Central Asian trip in 2022. Do you think Calimoto is a good substitute to Garmin? Your thoughts please?
@teapotone 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Nazar, Calimoto works off OpenSource mapping, so often the maps aren’t as updated or detailed as the likes of google etc - but I used OpenSource maps for lots of my RTW trip without issue. Personally I wouldn’t bother with any satnav these days as your phone does a better job. HOWEVER - you will need to make sure your phone is unlocked and allows the use of ANY SIM card. That way you can buy a local SIM card in whatever country you arrive in, pop it in your phone and you then use data at that local rate (which is almost always a LOT cheaper than using your own country’s sim in a foreign land). You can set Calimoto to offline mode, that way it’s not relying on any date signal, but you’ll have to download the relevant map before you go offline. Also make sure you can power your phone either off the bike or from a battery pack. Calimoto drains my iPhone 11 Pro battery flat in about an hour and a half so I power it off the bike or an abler power pack 👍

Interesting video, thanks. It looks like a good product. I have a few concerns about attaching my iPhone to my bike, having heard the stories about the vibration killing the camera etc. Do you have a recommendation for a phone mount that will properly protect the phone? I may have to consider moving from Basecamp/BMW Nav to something a little more modern... Thanks.
@teapotone 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Richard, If you’ve got a BMW that has the satnav cradle then I’d recommend this cheap little Mount I use from Amazon. amzn.to/3mnbBJU It snaps straight into the Nav cradle and even powers your phone off the bike too. I’ve used it for thousands and thousands of miles on my GS and had no issues. For other bikes I use the Ultimateaddons Helix strap Mount and the phone case for my phone. The Helix strap has sufficient flexibility to not only attach to any bike, but it’s also flexible enough to not cause any camera issues through vibration. ultimateaddons.com/collections/attachment/products/ultimateaddons-helix-locking-strap-bike-attachment-21-40mm Use code TEAPOTONE10 for 10% off Ultimateaddons products 👍

Just discovered Calimoto after doing a lot of research to improve ride planning for the Garmin Zumo XT. Makes it really easy to do. I’m trialling the free version. I’d like to go premium or even to just purchase the map package. Euro to Australian $ conversion is terrible at present so it makes it rather exxy. Not sure if you can compare it to buying a Garmin or whatever. With that you get a dedicated bike nav with free map updates. But then you can also use an old phone with Google maps and a Quadlock mount, I guess. In any case, Calimoto makes ride planning so much easier than that abomination called Garmin Basecamp, that’s for sure. Anyway, thanks for the videos. Well done.

I use the almost exclusively for following the local IAM Sunday rides. However I have asked Calimoto if they could allow to preset all the sections' twistiness at the start as otherwise Calimoto gets a bit "inventive" with the route and changes it from the desired IAM route.
@teapotone Жыл бұрын
Yeah I’ve found that when you import any routes into Calimoto, you need to make sure each section between waypoints is set to ‘no motorway’ - otherwise it will invent its own route between the points 👍

If you’ve got a GS or any BMW that has the satnav cradle, get this cheap phone Mount off Amazon. It clips straight into the Nav cradle and even powers your phone. amzn.to/3mnbBJU If not, use the UltimateAddOns Helix strap. It lets you Mount your phone on any bike and has enough ‘give’ that it doesn’t cause any vibration issues with your phone’s camera. ultimateaddons.com/collections/attachment/products/ultimateaddons-helix-locking-strap-bike-attachment-21-40mm

Hello, I live in the UK, upgraded to the premium, with a view to planning routes in Europe. Put in Bonn as a Start point Koblenz as the End, but the App says "can't calculate through countries with left and right hand traffic? Download the off line map as well, no joy. Any suggestions?
@teapotone Жыл бұрын
Hi, aye it’s just because calimoto can’t plot a route between countries where you drive/ride on different sides of the road. Just plot your route to Dover or whatever UK port your leaving from, then plot another route for the European side, so from Calais onwards for example 👍

I really like Calimoto and use it loads, but I don’t think they have the balance between “freemium” and paid versions right. I’ve tried the paid version and wasn’t all that interested in all of the additional features. Freemium works really well and has great functionality, so I’ve not a great incentive to pay the premium. If it was £10-£15 a year then I’d be happy to pay. Trouble is, if they downgraded freemium to encourage me to spend £45 then I’d stop using it. Cheaper with a few more bells and whistles then I think they’d make more money. I absolutely love that it tracks where you’ve been! I’m trying to colour in Bournemouth and Poole!

Question to ask, apologies as I've not watched all of this video. Does Calimoto allow for a created route which is a GPX file to be imported and then can it navigate you to the actual start point and then once there begin navigating the planned route itself?

Does that answer your question or are you still perplexed? Being as you seem to be one of a handful of people on KZfaq that have created a video for Calimoto I thought it might be worth asking about this important feature as Calimoto's own support isn't exactly responsive.

She's driving me mad with 4-5 instructions for every single junction. It's going to totally ruin the ride with constant nagging. I know with Google maps you can set it to less info. Hope someone can answer this before I leave. Thanks 👍

Hello Bruce I have a premium account and the one feature I would find really useful which I cannot find is route export on my mobile phone app. I also have a comment on road numbers the desktop version does show the road numbers but only if you are very careful when you zoom in. Have you found a way to make them more visible and if so please show me how.
@teapotone 2 жыл бұрын
Hello bud, You can share a route easily on your phone to another Calimoto user, but you can’t yet export it as a .gpx file - that has to be done via the desktop version. Regarding road numbers, I just do the same as you and zoom in/out until I see them
