Great review The GPS antenna is needed if you want to use the device as an standalone GPS Navigator (thats how I would use it) Download some maps that work offline (Osmand, Google maps,...) and you wont need to pair your phone to navigate Is useful if your phone runs out of battery, or if you dont want to keep charging your phone on long rides

Thanks. I’m actually going to make a follow up review to this one now that I’ve been using it for a bit. I figured out how to do the offline maps with Google and it’s hit or miss when not paired to my phone. GPS signal take a long time to lock onto satellites. And even when it does lock, the offline maps seem to lag a lot. Antennae is in clear sight too.

@@Mudslidex1 Good info, thanks. Actually I was looking at this device because of its GPS capability as stand alone unit but I'll hold for a while, will wait for your follow up Thanks again
Looking forward to an update. Looking at buying one.

Hopefully this week. Now that I've used it more and have more experience with it. I'm hoping to have the time this week for a follow-up review
Need to open it and see if there is a small capacitor that is keeping the memory alive during the day when you are riding but it is not powerful enough to keep it alive overnight. You would think the device would right setup to non destructive memory.
I'm assuming the GPS antenna and built in navigation is good if you are using a mobile hotspot device. It does seem like an unnecessary feature to have when you just connect with your phone.

Maybe if you're in a remote location with no cell service and can really on the downloaded maps and GPS. But even that I found was slow and not very responsive. It's not often I find myself driving in an are with no cell service. So the phone paired with Google or Apple Maps works just fine (and better) for me
once you fixed it on your bike, it might have remembered the previous connection to your android phone, hence didnt auto connect back to your iPhone. just my guess.
U need to download offline maps for Google map to work without data

Yes. Thanks. I figured out how to do it. I have to have the device itself connected to WiFi and then login to my google account on the device itself and then download the offline maps. It doesn’t pull them from your phone if you have the stored offline already. You have to test it like a separate device and login to it and download
waiting for you offline map test ❤

Hopefully this week. GPS is now working better than I originally experienced.
One favor please. Can you see connect your Cardo with the android phone and use the Podofo google assistant? I have an issue with my android phone and google assistant with cardo headsets and android auto. Would appreciate if you tried it out. Thanks

Sure thing. I actually will be coming out with a follow up video this week as I figured out how to get offline maps to work with the built in gps this has so you can use it while not connected to a phone

@@Mudslidex1 thanks! IPhones and carplay work so well with these units but I've been android all my life lol.
navigation error :)) 07:09
Seems to me it’s just a big waste of money it can’t do anything your phone cant do unless it’s got reverse Which you don’t need that on a bike and then you would have to remove it so it’s not stolen. Rather remove my phone put it in my pocket.

It has a secure mount so it can't be stolen. Also it's nice because phones overheat in the sun and the screen goes dim. These devices don't. The other nice thing is if you are riding alone and get into an accident or go down, you still have your phone on you to make an emergency call. If you get seriously hurt and your phone is on your bike 20 feet away and you're lying in a ditch and can't move...You're in big trouble.

@@Mudslidex1 That’s true if your phone is still working after accident and they can overheat which mine has done when left in the car but never on the bike for some reason on a hot day maybe air keeping it cool and screen has never gone dim Samsung A54 but then if I had a 2000 dollar phone sitting up there I wouldn’t like it. It’s a hard one.

@@MarkPisani-do8sn Yeah. I honestly go back and forth between using a phone and a CarPlay unit. My iPhone would always overheat in the sun and the screen would dim down. So yeah I don't think there's a perfect solution, everyone has to use what works for them

@@Mudslidex1 Cheers to that I think the iPhones though heat up more than the Samsungs also because I ride I buy a phone that’s water and dust proof 3/4 hundred dollars nothing to expensive but still does everything I want.. Samsung a53 and you can put screen protector on it
