Drivers can now have the booming voice of Brian Blessed as their personal map reader. After a Facebook campaign attracted 25,000 supporters, the king-sized Yorkshireman agreed to record driving instructions in his distinctive stentorian tones - and the Brian Blessed sat nav voice is officially released by TomTom today (5 November).

If unfamiliar territory has held you back from venturing into the unknown, look no further than BMW’s brand new Navigator IV.

TomTom, the world’s leading navigation solutions provider, today announces an updated version of TomTom RIDER, its navigation device for use on motorbikes. New features include TomTom Map Share™, extensive safety features such as the Help Me! menu, TomTom’s latest map guarantee and pre-installed Tele Atlas maps of Western & Eastern Europe.

The days of riders stopping on the hard shoulder to turn the page of the map are numbered, following the arrival of the latest Satellite Navigation system from BMW Motorrad. The Navigator III Plus, a revised version of the popular Navigator II, is a powerful and intelligent satellite electronic system that is not only fast-working, but robust enough to survive even the worst of the British weather. It is the perfect navigation and communication aid to help the rider reach his destination with minimum difficulty and fuss. The Navigator III Plus takes the strain and stress out of navigation, allowing the rider to fully enjoy the ride.

Tom Tom, makers of the popular motorcycle satellite navigation system, Rider, accidentally released a sneak peek of their new Rider 2 product, the follow-up to the existing product, on their website recently. No details are available other than the screen-shots shown here from an animation that was subsequently taken off their site once the mistake was realised. There's now no longer any mention of the Rider 2 on the Tom Tom website.

The days of map reading are over, especially for motorcyclists and these days, you can get to wherever you want to go without really knowing exactly where you are. Satellite navigation is the motorcyclist’s new best friend and we’ve got the Americans to thank for it. Invented to enhance the effectiveness of their military operations, this system has other, more welcome uses, like directing you door to door, to any address, or finding the nearest petrol station when your bike is nearly out of fuel. It will also get you home when all the major routes are blocked and even tell you what time you’ll be there.
