Karadar Chinese Motorcycle GPS MT-5001 | Unboxing and First Look
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2019
- Im sure there are lots of us that ride motorcycles for long day trips or even longer. In those instances a Motorcycle GPS can really come in handy. Sadly though, they are really expensive. Not sure why the big brands charge so much but they do. We ended up buying this Chinese Motorcycle GPS from banggood.com ( I believe the brand is Karadar ) which came in at less than half the price of a Garmin or TomTom Motorcycle GPS. Real question though is… Does it work. Well this video is really the part one as we unbox this unit and take a look at what it comes with. Follow up video coming soon.

Good video. Did you do a follow-up on the GPS?
I just picked up one of these and now have it mounted to my motorcycle. Looking forward to some long rides this season to see how it performs! Plus I no longer have to use my cell phone. Which is kind of a bonus. Just hope it works well. Fingers crossed!
Mary Toope well make sure to let us know how it works for you. Ride safe!
Can you send me user manual for this device? Or may be give me an advice how to reset it to the factory settings please.
I just bought the MT5002. It's pretty much the same. Unfortunaly, the IGO navigator apps does't seem to update. It's supposed the be a free map update. I'm waiting respond from Karadar store...
Really good review mate.
Glad you liked it
i have a 5 inch garmin in my van which is an excellent gps and i was thinking of using it on my bike as well, but this looks like a really good budget option, im wondering what its like in rural areas and what the glare is like on the screen
Deep South New Zealand it’s not great in bright sunlight for sure, pretty hard to see. It also takes a fair bit of time to acquire satellites. But it’s good once it gets them. Really hard to decide if it’s better to just get a better gps. If the screen was brighter it would be a no brainer.
I have the MT5002 model and I'm having problems recharging the battery, in fact I've always had this problem, this problem has always existed. Charging keeps oscillating, as if it were a bad electrical connection. I don't know what to do to fix this problem
Were you able to upgrade it to 6.0
Could you install Google maps in it?
How has this been for you in terms of finding windy roads, special routes, extra features, etc?
The Golf Life doesn’t seem to have any of those features. That you would want an actual Garmin Zumo or something like that. Also the iPhone app ‘Scenic’ has features for that.
Cruisn Canada What do you think of installing this on my MV Agusta? I want to do it but it’s kind of pricey and I don’t know if it would fit that well...

Right now I'm either using my phone or the build in sat nav from the car. But I had a TomTom Go years ago, but I didn't like the touch screen. I really needed to press it pretty hard to get it working and during the winter I just got frustrated because the touch screen didn't work at all. Hopefully this one works in all weather conditions and I like the fact that it's running on Android.
The whole android thing was a big plus for me since I'm hoping that I can upgrade the os and possible install other apps. We shall see. Right now I'm just waiting for the weather to get better so that we can actually test it on the bike.
@@gregtoope You still have snow right now? Besides, yes that's why I was surprised by the title...just focused on the word Motorcycle 🤣🤣, my bad. But I liked the video and you can perfectly use the Karadar in your car. 😊
@@pedrovaneijk9290 yeah still a little bit of snow so hopefully this coming week ill be able to get the bike out. Fingers crossed!
@@gregtoope I hope it will for ya, I'll keep mine crossed for you as well! (PS: check your gmail)
Theodore Marakas I’ve been using a Garmin and it’s worked great. So far this one is working. Had to do some playing around in the settings. Also wish it was brighter. Really hard to see in bright light.
Can I download my Google maps saved places to this?
I don’t believe so. But unsure. Hopefully someone can try. I no longer have this unit.
Can you change the gps shortcut to your preferred gps app?
Built in battery? Do I need charger port on my bike?
Most likely
Can you download tracks on it? I use my IPhone to do off-road tracks but I’ve been debating on getting a cheap GPS.
with the iGo app, I don't think so. Can't see where you can do that.
Cruisn Canada thanks for the reply. I love your channel and your reviews. Keep up the good work.
bergoff thanks! Much appreciated!
Wy use you one other in your car
Hi , have you had any time to test this gps and do a followup video, I very interested in this gps
Sadly no, and i probably wont as i gave the GPS to a friend of mine.
@@gregtoope ah, too bad. thanks anyway
Evert Dirksen most welcome 🙏🏻

The Golf Life awesome. Thanks 🙏

You focus on it being cheap... I've bought one over a year ago, made one longer trip with it, after which I removed it from the bike and probably will not buy any Chinese-made GPS aby time soon. I think a regular phone will be much better than this GPS. What's the problem? Quality. My unit was displaying warnings about charging disonnected every now and then and then conneted again before it turned off. So all the time some pop up window distracting me. Then it would invariably turn off in the least suitable moment - complicated road or in an unknown city. Then, it did not charge correctly. And from time to time it liked to display screen upside down. I have tried to prevent popups or turning off with the settings, but with no success. I am really, really angry with this device - your phone will probably work fine (at least my phone is much more reliable than my Karadar). I planned to just keep on using the phone, but I do like the convinience of a dedicated GPS unit and in the end decided to buy TomTom - yes, it is super expensive, but now I have paid for both TomTom and Karadar, and Karadar is junk that went stright to trash bin. I would save money if I did not ever try this GPS.
I still think It's over priced. Modern smart phones have gps capabilities, and, no cellular provider is needed. A cheap $20 prepaid smartphone works fine for gps considering this. Although I understand the water proof smartphones are more costly. A side note, there's many nice navigation apps available. Apps that are designed more to a gps unit UI. Instead of Google maps.
Hi David ... Thks very much for your information about this gps. You save my money. I do need honest review about this product.
