１．Smart phone
iPhone12 mini（For car navigation）
In the first half of the trip, I used the car navigation function of google map on the iPhone12.
It was necessary to use the knack for how to enter the stopover, but I was able to use it comfortably when I got used to it.
In rainy weather running, there was no problem with the waterproofness of the main body, but when the lightning socket for charging got wet, charging from the holder on the handlebar was not possible, and continuous use of car navigation with a lot of battery consumption was inconvenient.
Depending on the contract form of the smartphone, communication costs are expensive if you use Google Maps for a long time.
Depending on the contract form of the smartphone, communication costs are expensive if you use Google Maps for a long time.
However, it could not be used for summer touring. In fine weather where the temperature is close to 30 degrees Celsius, it stops functioning due to heating error along with self-heating. noticed it in the second half of pre-touring, and I bought a car navigation system in a hurry.
２．Portable car navigation for Motorcycle
NANKAI NNV-002A
This car navigation system does not have a guide function in English.
t was recommended by a friend, and various reviews were examined and purchased.
t required me to get used to it a little, but it became comfortable to use.
The audio guide was also easy to hear, and there was no slow response so that the right and left turn instructions were given after passing.
here is no problem with the touch operation as it is with the glove.
It required a little knack to operate with rain-soaked neoprene rubber gloves.
Positioning performance was not very high, and sometimes I was confused.
When I passed through the hairpin of a small R, it was mistaken for reverse running and the guide was off the mark, or when I was going straight on the main road, my car position shifted and it was often impossible to repair even if time passed.
In this case, restarting will return to the normal guidance.
In addition, in this case, if you do not register and save the route, the memory will disappear, so be careful.
In addition, if the charge is insufficient and the voltage is unstable, it may be shut down and restarted on its own.
In this case, fix it by pressing the reset button on the back side.
Since detailed place names and facility names are not displayed in the map data, when setting the destination on the map, google map was used together to narrow the location while comparing the topography and road shape on both screens.
These are the tips of how to use them, and once you understand them, you can use them very comfortably.
３．DSLRcamera
OLYMPUS OM-D e-M5 +M.ZUIKO DEGITAL 12-45mm
With this camera, you can take beautiful photos even by yourself as an amateur.
It is expensive and bulky, but I think it is worth it because it automatically shoots in good conditions under various circumstances.
Even if this camera received motorcycle vibration for a long time, there was no trouble.
It worked fine even in heavy rain. (I tried to wipe off the water droplets as soon as possible.) )
In addition to the notation zoom lens, a simple fisheye lens was also active. Changing lenses was troublesome, but I was able to take interesting photos.
The battery needed to be charged once every two days.
I used a 16GB memory card for this camera, but I was able to save all the photos on my first and second half trip.（Each of the photos I took on this trip was about 500.）This camera can use Wi-Fi function, so you can easily transfer photos to iPad.This feature was useful for writing diaries every night.
４．Compact digital camera
ＣＡＮＯＮ IXY210
I always put it naked in the left pocket of the jacket. You can shoot even for a short time during the stop.
Driving safely is the priority, but this is the first! It helped to get good shutter chance. Because the lens is a model of the wide angle type, I was able to take a picture of the scenery with a wide angle of view.
５．Income
B+COM
SB４X
It is an old model that I have used habitually for many years, but I was able to use it comfortably. It has enough battery capacity even if you continue to use it all day.
This income was the shortest charging time I had.
It is a tool that has improved my trip dramatically by being able to connect Bluetooth with car navigation systems and smartphones.
I have a small microphone inserted inside the cheek pad of a jet helmet for a full face helmetIt was very easy to put on and take off the helmet by inserting the microphone.
６．Rainwear
（Workman brand）
This had no problem with the overall waterproofing. If the hem of the pants is a little wider, I think that the heel of the boots will not get caught when you put it on and take off.
I think that it is convenient to have a pocket further.
The detachable hood that comes with this rainwear is not required.
In addition, the storage bag is small and it is difficult to put in and out of the wear.
On a strong rainy day, this wear can soak in rain from the seams of the anti-stick belt on the sleeves.
I solved this problem by using the waterproof arm cover described in the next section.
In any case, rainwear is a consumable item, so I don't choose expensive rainwear.
７．Boot covers
GOLDWIN compact boot covers
I always use this type because the back can be fully opened and it is easy to put on and take off.
This cover can be worn with only Velcro and snap fasteners.
This cover has a hole as soon as the tip rubs, but the water did not soak into the boot.
There are short type and long type of this cover, but I offer it for a long time rain and use a long long type.
８．Rain gloves
DYTONA RIDE MIT＃００１
I have been using this glove for many years. The water soaks immediately, but it has a large cold protection effect and can be used comfortably. You can operate the car navigation system while wearing it.
Because it is a material for wetsuits, it is effective for cold protection even when it does not rain, and it was useful on a cold morning in spring. It is unexpectedly durable and has been used for many years.
９．Waterproof arm covers
There were many rainy days on this trip.
After a long, high-speed ride on the rainy highway, water soaked in the rainwear.
In particular, both arms that could not be guarded with the windshield of the motorcycle were always exposed to wind and rain, so it was uncomfortable to soak.
Water has soaked from the seams of the belt on the sleeves of the rainwear.
Therefore, it was effective when I purchased and used the arm cover used for farm work at Home Depot. It is now possible to fully protect.また、n addition, it was useful as a winter wear when I felt cold in the rider jacket for summer. It is more effective than underbesting the heat retention of both arms exposed to the wind.
I was able to choose an arm cover of the color close to the rainwear and the rider jacket that I was using, so I did not have to stand out.
１０．Helmet
SHOEI J-Cruise
This is a model I have been using for many years. As shown below, after adjusting the size of the inner pad, it is very comfortable to use. It dries immediately even if the inner pad gets wet in the rain.
I decided the size of the shell and inner pad according to the size of the head, but if I wear it for a long time, the upper end of the ear will become numb and painful. The reason is that I like the size of the ear is a little larger than the standard.
putting a spacer in the top of the helmet and adjusting it so that the helmet is slightly above your head. The spacer is equipped with an air ventilation pad as seen in the picture.
The air ventilation pad has a lot of protrusions, and it hurts when it hits the scalp directly for a long time, so I insert it between the inna pad and the shell and use it. This also improves internal breathability.
１１．Boots
KUSHITANI GORE-TEX Touring boots
These are boots that both leather and sole are moderately soft and easy to use. These boots can be opened and closed only by the fastener and the flap of Velcro, so you can take it off and wear it easily.
It is convenient when visiting shrines and temples where you are required to take off your shoes or when eating at a Japanese-style restaurant.
Because fasteners are fine-grained type, they are soft and comfortable when wearing them, but they are opened and closed with care because there is no durability against opening and closing.
These boots come soaked immediately from the sole and leather seams on a heavy rainy day. GORE-TEX is considered to be for breathability improvement.
１２．Gloves
JRP Bike Leather Gloves BPS
I think that it is the best glove in terms of wearing feeling, operability, and durability in my motorcycle life for many years. Expensive but worth it. Speaking of greed, it is good to improve the staining of dye on the skin when wet. Even sweat leaves color in the hand.
１３．The other items
Multi plug
A branch tap of the outlet helped to end the nightly charging of multiple devices at once at the hotel's limited outlet. The slim swing type was convenient.
Keyboard for iPad
I attached the keyboard to the iPad for daily recording input, so I was able to finish the typing work quickly. The keyboard is also effective in protecting the screen during transportation.
