Carpe Iter Caretta – Motorcycle Navigation Tablet

Carpe Iter Caretta – Motorcycle Navigation Tablet

The Carpe Iter Caretta – Motorcycle Navigation Tablet is a completely newly developed navigation system, designed from the ground up for motorcycles.

Not a converted consumer tablet, but a device that meets the requirements of adventure, touring, street, and off-road riders alike.

Why the Carpe Iter Caretta – Motorcycle Navigation Tablet?

The Caretta combines the ruggedness of a rally device with the everyday usability of a high-end touring GPS.

For Adventure & Offroad

• very bright display, absolutely readable in the sun

• rugged housing, vibration-damped mount

• precise dual-band GNSS for off-road tracks

For Street & Touring

• BMW multicontroller support

• clear view by day and night

• full app freedom (Google Maps, Kurviger, DMD2, OsmAnd, etc.)

You don't have to be an off-roader to benefit from the technology.
It was built for extreme conditions – and therefore functions more reliably in everyday use.
