A navigation system is standard equipment in cars these days.

There are also accessories for bicycles that will keep you on the right track.

As long as you only cover the same distances, a navigation system for the bike is probably not necessary, for example when you drive to and from work.

But if you like to go on longer tours that take you into unknown realms, navigation is of the utmost importance.

A bicycle satnav is extremely useful so that you don't have to rummage your smartphone out of your pocket all the time.

In the following we reveal which functions this offers and what it should be able to do.

Bicycle sat nav with rechargeable battery or batteries?

The testers from AllesBeste see advantages in both.

Bicycle sat navs with

rechargeable batteries

are slimmer.

This is advantageous for those who can charge the device from a socket after or during the tour.

Anyone planning longer tours including camping should have a power bank with them.

Otherwise, devices with

batteries are

more of an advantage

for the latter
