DMD-T865 Manual & Installation Instructions
I am so happy with my purchase. I find it so much better to use than my old Garmin Montana. The screen is super bright and I can see it in direct sunlight. The matte screen doesn't have a ton of reflections either. The android based system is great to use, I find it way easier than anything Garmin.
I did get the handlebar controller with it and I highly recommend that as well. It makes it so much easier to pan the screen and select most menus on the screen without really taking your hand off the bars. It's also great if you don't have touch sensitive gloves on.
The off-road mount is a good upgrade as well if you plan to do single and double track rides. I opted for this and I'm glad I did. The tablet is super secure in the mount. It has rubber isolators and is a very solid unit. It does weigh a bit more than the standard mount, but I like how it goes all the way around the perimeter of the table to ensure there is no way it can come out. I'd hate to see my T865x fly out of a standard mount, that would be an expensive replacement!
I used an AMPS mounting ball on the rear of the mount and put it on top of my Africa Twin's gauges, so it's nice and high and easy to see. I have found that it stays put and doesn't get pulled down when the road is super rough, the mount doesn't slip!
Spend some time and watch the videos and see all the cool features. It's great that more and more stuff keeps getting updated and each update brings new features. You can't go wrong!
Other than good rain gear and boots, this is the best thing I have on the bike. I just got done with my maiden voyage with this, 4 days through New England, two of which were through the rain, the 4th through 85 degree sun, and this thing was completely bulletproof the whole time.
Being able to find points, navigate, pan, zoom, scout ahead for campsites, view all roads, pull up google maps, pull up geo-referenced maps on Avenza, and monitor trip status all from one device is amazing. I'm now confidently leading groups, navigating around gates and blocked roads on the move, and generally keeping the party moving faster and more efficiently.
I was afraid I wasn't going to like it, one because its a large screen and two because I like adventure riding to get away from technology, but the use case for this is narrow enough to make it not distracting in the traditional technology sense, the native feature set is full enough to keep me from needing to switch between apps frequently, and the way this mounts on my T7 is out of my direct view, so its not intrusive. This feels like a dedicated GPS that's there to be a GPS, but has all the bells and whistles if you need it.
Its expensive, but in my opinion worth it. Go with the tablet and go with the controller. I will soon be ordering TPS and OBD, because I'm sold on this.
I've been through all the options, running gps apps on my phone, a Garmin Montana, a Garmin Zumo XT, etc, etc... They all had drawbacks from having to unmount my phone every time I wanted to take a picture, tiny detail on the Montana, that was hard to see, especially bobbing and weaving out in the woods, and the Zumo XT, while having a much more easy-to-read-while-moving screen, really lacked a lot of the forest roads and trails in the National forests I like to ride in. I had a buddy of mine recommend the DMD tablet, and I couldn't be happier. I got it specifically because it IS android based, and I could use any app i wanted to ( I use Gaia all the time), but have honestly found the native DMD navigation software to be absolutely brilliant. My only complaint is a lack of instructional material for the various mounts and adapters. BUT the customer service from ADV-TIM was excellent. A rep was able to send me pictures and step by step instructions of what i needed. Very much appreciated! I wanted to wait until i had a few rides with the DMD before I reviewed it. That being said, I have nothing negative to say about it. Nothing. Not a thing. This is literally the solution I've been looking for for years. Yes, it's a sizable chunk of change, but this is an instance where you 100% get what you pay for. The only test left for this thing is a torrential PNW rain storm, but I've got a feeling it's going to be just as waterproof as they say. Seriously, buy this thing, you'll love it.
The T865X tablet is superb, and the shipping from adv-tim was very fast. Couldn't ask for more!
Looks to be a quality product that I look forward to using in the near future.
