On the 2022 K1600 GT
Used in conjunction with MyRoute for planning bespoke routes it is very good. It has some oddities (they all do) but once you get used to them it’s fine.
It will run routes where the route line crosses with itself (say a figure of eight) but you don’t always get an arrow showing which of the two to take. It might, depending on the road layout, be tricky to know what ‘straight ahead’ means exactly.
It might be easy to muddle the two choices up. It therefore helps to look at the routing instructions (easy on a big screen) or zoom in or out a bit (easy with the wheel) to see which way to go.
Here’s a picture:
I actually knew the way. But, had I been abroad and had to be in say specific lanes at what looks like a T or Y-junction it might throw me a bit.
The voice instructions are good but it had a strange oddity. I went eastwards on the A13 from London, to join the M25 anti-clockwise to ride around to the A12 to get to Chelmsford. On the A13 the voice instruction said to take the M11 at the junction. This might throw you a bit, until you twig that the voice means….. leave the A13, join the M25 in the direction of the M11.
You also get voice instructions to join a motorway, as you hoon down the slip road. I can only guess it doesn’t want you to turn around!
Just as an experiment (good as I am using the beta version of what will become the updated app) I asked it to create a route home in central London, knowing that there is an overnight road closure on the most logical route in. It routed me around the closure, really neatly, all without me doing anything.
