Description

It's not a tablet! Caretta is a specially designed, Android-powered motorcycle navigation kit with full Google Play Store support. The only truly detachable solution of its kind!

Why Caretta?

Caretta is a completely new generation of navigation device. It combines the ruggedness of a device built specifically for motorcycles with the freedom of Android. Use any navigation app from the Google Play Store—just like on your phone—but in a case built for adventure.

Finished riding? Unclip it and use it as an Android device for social media, email, movies, music, or games—or just relax and watch a movie in your tent.

Caretta offers unmatched value for the price. This isn’t an industrial tablet adapted for motorcycles—it’s hardware designed from the ground up for motorcycling.
