A GPS is a device that uses satellites to pinpoint its own location. Modern day devices have combined this ability for tracking, with maps and other functions that can be of great use to the traveler.
Rugged And Durable
Motorcycle and truck GPS basically take some form of advice in their lifetime. For motor GPS, it's nature. For trucks, it's drivers who don't wipe their hands after eating a juicy burger. That said, find a heavy-duty GPS that is water-proof and you can never go wrong.
2. Remote voice activation
Having a voice-activated GPS is definitely more convenient than touchscreen GPS units. However, if voice-activated GPS is currently out of reach for you, go for a touchscreen model where you don't need to press hard buttons to enter an address.
Motorcycle users will find this a definite advantage.
One great advantage with installing GPS devices, especially in fleet trucks is that it pinpoints the location of a vehicle at all times.
Since you will be riding in open terrain, without sun protection, try to find a GPS that provides a sun shield so you will be able to view its display. On the other end of the spectrum, the screen should have sufficient brightness so it can be viewed in darker conditions as well.
A good GPS should tell you where the next gas station or truck service station is. This is very important if you are driving to a new place far away.
5. Accuracy
More important than the amount of information is the accuracy of information. Check out the specs of different GPS brands to know their accuracy level.
Mapping devices on them can be used to locate gas stations, diners and other facilities that travelers are generally in the need of.
