Carpe Iter - Caretta

Caretta is a completely new breed of navigation device. It combines the ruggedness of hardware purpose-built for motorcycles, quads, and side-by-sides with the versatility of Android.

Unlike traditional sat-navs, Caretta offers full compatibility with the Google Play Store. You can use any Android app and especially any GPS navigation app just as you would on a normal Android tablet or your cellphone.

Done riding? Take it off your bike and do you social, emails, browse the Web, listen to Spotify, watch Netflix, play a game …

Every feature below sets Caretta apart. It is a one-of-a-kind device offering unbeatable price-to-value.

Why is a purpose-built device better than a generic industrial tablet? It is the difference between a tool adapted for the job and a tool born for it. Industrial tablets are engineered for warehouses and construction sites, not handlebars. Even with modifications, a tablet is limited by a design intended for a different environment. Caretta is built for the ride!
