Bicycle navigation systems: Five navigation devices for cycling in comparison

Radl navis: you should pay attention to this

The price of the sat nav varies depending on the equipment and the size of the map.

First, think about the tours for which you want to use the special guide - for outdoor biking, for a regular Sunday excursion or for both.
You should also consider the size of the display when purchasing. Reading the routes on a micro screen is not always pleasant.
No matter which class you choose: The Radl navigation system should understand common map formats such as .gpx. So you can download tours from the network from the PC to the pilot before starting. Athletic cyclists also want to read and compare their training routes on the computer.
Another important aspect is the battery life of the navigation system. If you are planning longer tours, the device should not stop halfway.
A touchscreen not only offers more comfort, but also more security. Operation is simple, fast and mostly intuitive.
Make sure that the navigation system is at least splash-proof. For longer trips, however, you should definitely use a protective cover for the bike navigation system.
Somehow the navigation system has to be mounted on the bike. If a bracket is included, you save the search for a suitable model.

You can get the waterproof Xplova G3 in a very compact format for just under 200 euros.

The base map of the community OpenStreetMap (OSM) in the scale 1: 75, 000 is preinstalled.
However, the memory is limited to two GB. According to the manufacturer, it is still sufficient for 20, 000 kilometers of route recording.
On the other hand, very small: the display is limited to 2.2 inches (5.6 centimeters in diagonal), which reduces the price-performance ratio for us.

With the Teasi One 2 you also get a lot of bike navigation for comparatively little money.

The 120-euro guide offers a 3.5-inch screen (8.89 centimeters in diagonal) and thus more space for maps and menus.
The Teasi One 2 also uses OSM data and is compatible with .gpx routes. The memory can be expanded via microSD.
In addition to the route, altitude and speed profile, there are also fitness functions in the device, such as calorie-dependent route planning. There is also a route option for mountain bikers under the settings.

The Blaupunkt Bike Pilot also has a 3.5-inch color display.

The Navi relies on numerous settings and includes .gpx files and is currently available for 195 euros.
The pre-installed map of Europe is also based on OSM, you can download additional detailed maps of the community.
The 4 GB memory can be expanded. Profiles for touring bikes, mountain bikes and racing bikes are available, as well as a trip computer for recording your own routes.

You don't have to dig deep into your pocket for Garmin Edge Touring.

You have to invest a little more than 170 euros for this likewise waterproof candidate.
With Edge Touring, the touchscreen size is limited to 2.6 inches (6.6 centimeters in the diagonal).
Otherwise, it offers a good navigation scope, provides up to three route suggestions including an altitude profile and also swallows the free OSM data.

The Mio Cyclo 310 currently costs 235 euros and offers a no less solid range of functions.

However, because of the better-equipped competition for less money, we also only awarded it a moderate price-performance ratio.
A glare-free 3 '' touchscreen shows pre-installed bike and street maps for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
A barometric height measurement and an optical and acoustic turn signal are also available.
