1. Unit is advertised on amazon as a 5″, it is only 4.3″, and yes that does make a difference.
2. Even though I only paid $403 (+tx) for it, that is still a lot of money for a gps considering what the equivalent car gps goes for. The only real difference if the waterproof feature.

had a Rider 400 that I liked, great UI and the PC software was good for designing and loading routes
that one had the well documented problem of leaking water inside, motorcycle units need to be waterproof
the 400 eventually died from water exposure, no warranty as it was 2 years old
Amazon put the 550 on sale at a good price, was supposed to have fixed the leakage issue
against my better judgement I bought one as I still had the mount of the bike and was familiar with the product
the 550 also leaks
after a wet day, the screen is fogged for a week, touch still works, but hard to see anything
what I’ve started to do is open the unit up and put in sunlight for a day, then close up
this does work for removing the moisture, but not a good solution on a multi-day trip
this unit is obviously going to fail from the repeated moisture exposure
when that happens I’m gonna join the Garmin crowd

I have been a fan of Garmin GPS for a decade but it was time to upgrade. The Garmin 396 simply wasn’t bright enough in sunlight, wouldn’t set a twisty ride of more than 100 miles and the hill and twisty road feature was near useless, returned it after a week of usage. The Tomtom Rider 550 is better at all the above, the twisty road feature isn’t prefect but quite good. As for brightness I do have to angle it down so direct sunlight isn’t shinning on the screen but I can easily see it and I love the mount. I still think the Rider 550 is a little more cumbersome to use than my old Garmin Zumo but it works and am enjoying the Twisty road feature.

Use it on a Bike trip(8/14/19 to 8/21/19) on the Eastern side of the USA. After putting in all the plan stops for an 8 day trip, the unit fail. Would not update or allow new destinations to be uploaded. An error of saying TomTom was down, and would not pair with my tablet to the unit, or when send destiny to it from phone, it didn’t work Also put in NO UNPAVED ROADS on the unit, I had to drive my Harley on a 10 mile gravel road to get to my destination. Don’t know it this is a bad unit, or something else. Payed a lot of money to end up using a paper store bought map to finish off our year planned trip

Si alguien piensa comprar este u otro dispositivo Tom Tom,no lo hagan no tienen servicio de reparaciones ni de cambios en México la garantía no sirve para nada después de más de un mes hay que enviar el producto a EU para tratar de hacer algo, no tiren su dinero.

I have been in contact with TomTom several times, in the past six months. They either can’t or are unwilling to fix a Bluetooth connectivity issue, one they’ve known about since at least 2019, that prevents communication between device and iPhone ever since iOS 13. This makes using the MyDrive app – ability to plan and save routes, as well as get data for traffic – impossible. It’s a shame that Amazon should be the one to refund me. They should go after TomTom

The touch screen is flawless, nice and bright, gps is accurate. The included RAM mount is perfect and the overall mount/release system is great.
I have given up on making any route changes on the unit beyond changing the destination.
The online TOM TOM tool is awesome.
I am a Garmin person but have zero regrets with this Tom Tom unit.

Despues de años de utilizar Garmin me decidi a probar el TomTom. QUe cambio, la intrface del Garmin es obsoleta y el procesador muy lento. Este bebe vuela, encuentra todo al instante.

Easy to install and easy to use. The WiFi connection is great and make it very easy to get map updates.
On the road The display is visible even on sunny days compare to older Tomtom Rider version. I recommend the product.

I read all the less than positive reviews and I don’t agree with any of them. I installed this device myself and it was easy (I did not run the wires through the wiring harness under my gas tank, but the wires are securely under the tank) and just connected it to my battery. So yes, it would drain battery if it was in the cradle, but if not, it will not draw electricity and who leaves it in the cradle when they are not riding?? As for glare–in full direct sunlight, I have absolutely no issues. As for text size–first off, you should not be reading while riding–I need glasses to read, yet I can see where I am going and the turns are clearly marked as are upcoming points of interest (gas station, etc.) so I have not had any issues. As for saving routes–all of these devices are more complicated than your smartphone so there is a learning curve, but there are tons of online tutorials so you can manage quite fine once you get the hang of how it work. I have been using it since May and have had no issues. I don’t use the connectivity to my phone (drains battery on my phone and bluetooth is always a bit hit and miss–not the fault of the device–bluetooth is a pain). I also don’t have a motorcycle mic set so I don’t know how well that works. Honestly it does what is supposed to do and does it well.

El dispositivo promete hacer muchas cosas, siempre y cuando tenga una conexión estable con el celular (para uso de datos) y los auriculares, mediante Bluetooth. El Rider 550 tiene fallas reportadas de Bluetooth con varios modelos de iPhone, y TomTom lo sabe desde hace tiempo pero no ha corregido estas fallas (se puede verificar buscando en Internet “fallas Bluetooth TomTom Rider 550”). Asimismo, hay algunos inconvenientes en la calidad del audio con los auriculares. En mi caso costó trabajo emparejar un iPhone SE y un Sena SMH5, aun cuando el soporte técnico de TomTom los reconoce como dispositivos compatibles. La solución fue no conectar el GPS ni el celular al wifi de la casa al momento de emparejarlos, es decir, el Rider 550 únicamente tiene conexión de datos a mi celular (con mi plan de datos actualizo mapas) y al momento de emparejarlos me aseguro de tener apagado el wifi de mi celular. Aún así en año y medio de uso, la conexión Bluetooth no es estable con el iPhone. No he probado con Android pero por lo reportado en foros es muy estable la conexión entre dispositivos.
Sin el celular y los auriculares conectados el Tomtom pierde mucho atractivo, aunque sigue siendo un dispositivo muy bueno en cuanto a rapidez y capacidades. Es una lástima que tras más de aproximadamente dos años y medio o más de que salió al mercado este GPS, TomTom no haya corregido el problema y su soporte técnico sea tan deficiente, al menos en México es inexistente. Toma esto en cuenta para cosas de garantías.
Definitivamente es un dispositivo que vale la pena comprarlo pero en oferta. Tiene muchas opciones para el trazo de rutas, avisos, etc. La ventaja de usar un aparato de estos en lugar de tu celular es que, entre otros beneficios, en caso de emergencia siempre tienes tu celular contigo y no en el manillar de la moto, pero si no sirve o sirve a medias el Bluetooth pierde atractivo.

Es una maravilla este Gps, lo puedo conectar al audio de mi casco y al teléfono.
Responde muy bien, y tiene mapas de todo el mundo gratis.
