Find experiences – not just the route

The BMW Connected Ride Navigator

If you are getting on your motorcycle, then you have a destination. Perhaps you want to get there quickly. But maybe you also want to turn your journey into an unforgettable experience. The ConnectedRide Navigator finds not only the route, but experiences. It's a route planner, experience recorder and central communication system all in one. Robust and equipped with the latest hardware and software. Thanks to BMW Cloud Integration, it also synchronises automatically with the BMW Connected app. So you have everything in one place, while you are out exploring the world's most beautiful places.

Next generation navigation

Typical BMW design

As if cut from the same cloth: both the graphic design and the user interaction. Hardware and software are harmoniously coordinated for efficiently controlling your BMW motorcycle. The intuitive screen design facilitates simple operation at all times.

Hardware for hard wear

The hardware has been designed for the needs of motorcyclists, meaning the toughest of use. It can withstand dust, hard knocks, freezing cold and extreme heat and can be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner. This quality has earned it IP69 certification.

Has everything on the screen

The 5.5" touchscreen display is very easy to read, even in sunlight. The TFT display and ConnectedRide Navigator work together perfectly. Once the navigator is connected, the telephone, navigation and media elements are greyed out on the TFT display.

Everything perfectly interconnected

Everything perfectly interconnected

Whether you're using BMW ConnectedRide products or your smartphone, the ConnectedRide Navigator combines all the devices and media applications into one device. For example, the navigation function, telephony and media are greyed out on the TFT display of the bike and clearly shown on the display of the ConnectedRide Navigator when the connection between bike and navigator is active. And thanks to BMW ID and BMW Motorrad Cloud Integration, you can easily synchronise your route planning from the BMW Motorrad Connected app with the ConnectedRide Navigator.

With the navigation preparation, available as optional equipment for new models or as a retrofit solution, the ConnectedRide Navigator also connects many older BMW motorbikes built from 2014 onwards to the roads of the world. Simply click in, lock and enjoy the benefits of the ConnectedRide Navigator.
