@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Have a nice weekend

@Timo-Martosatiman-MRA said in Old fashioned?:

I have no idea what that is, but then again, it's probably from before my time

Basically, it is a box with two little cylinders inside and a simple system to attachpaper to it.

You have to prepare a piece of paper with the information you want to display while riding? the example shows such paper that indicates what turns you have to take, or use your own homemade standaard fro indicatign the main turns..

The two little wheels on the left side serve to move the paper up or down.

I drove "around" Switserland with such a thing. Worked surprisingly well on a highway, on little roads better have a map on the tankbag.

With all these modern GPS/smartphone/tablet electronics available, is anyone still using the old method of roadbooks or something like that:

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Thanks Hans!

Because people want to have a safely planned life. You can also simply travel with a paper map from Michelin

been there, done that, spending 50% of the time on "driving back" or "around a mountain" because I took a wrong turn... Adventure riding was adventurous then

Long live Michelin, still one of my favorite maps in MRA!!!!

My god, why is it all so complicated

Omdat in een track geen routepunten zitten, buiten het start- en eindpunt

Hoi Hans, Ik weet dat dit de gangbare verklaring is maar ik vrees er een beetje voor.

Ik heb een TomTom rider maar ik zou heel goed geholpen zijn moest iemand mij eens een GPS track en een GPS route sturen rechtstreeks van een Garmin device (dus eentje dat niet via MRA gepasseerd is) voor een moderne Garmin, dan kijk ik dat eens na

A USB connector alone is not enough. The adapter must then have a connection for power supply. Apple's Lightning to USB-3 camera adapter has that:

Why would you need a power supply? The iphone has a battery, and the garmin gps on the BMW is connected to the motorcycle circuit?
