RIDERNAV R7M RAIN TEST on the BMW R1300GSA 🌧️
Today’s ride turned into the perfect real-world test for the RIDERNAV R7M. Heavy rain, wet roads and poor visibility are exactly the conditions where motorcycle tech either helps you… or becomes frustrating.
One thing worth mentioning is that ALL modern capacitive motorcycle touchscreens can suffer from water-induced “ghost touches” in heavy rain. That’s simply how capacitive touch technology works when water interferes with the electrical field on the screen.
The good news with the RIDERNAV R7M is that the screen lock function helps prevent unwanted touch inputs while riding in severe weather — and importantly, the BMW Wonderwheel still works perfectly even with the touchscreen locked.
That combination actually makes a huge difference in real touring conditions. In this video I focus on: 🌧️ Wet weather visibility 🌧️ Real riding usability 🌧️ Wonderwheel control in heavy rain 🌧️ Screen lock functionality 🌧️ Long-distance touring practicality 🌧️ Real-world rider experience This isn’t a studio waterproof test — it’s simply how the RIDERNAV R7M performs in actual riding conditions on the R1300GSA.
