DMD Navigation is preparing to launch a brand-new navigation device in March 2026: the DMD Nor7e. Built with the performance level of the T880X, the Nor7e introduces a fresh hardware philosophy focused on rider control, offline communication, and rugged real-world usability.

Designed for Control While Riding - One of the most noticeable changes is the new front-facing control layout. The Nor7e adds dedicated zoom buttons and a screen touch enable/disable button on the front of the device, allowing riders to interact quickly without diving into menus or removing gloves. On top, four large, user-configurable buttons take center stage. Based on extensive rider feedback from previous models, these buttons are now bigger, taller, and color-coded, making them easy to identify at a glance while riding. Each button can be mapped to custom functions in DMD2, improving safety and usability on the move.

Built-In LoRa for Offline Group Riding - A major highlight of the Nor7e is the integrated LoRa technology, complete with an SMA antenna connector and included antenna. This enables offline location sharing, making it possible for riders to track each other during group rides even when cellular coverage disappears. This feature is fully integrated into the device as a stock capability, reinforcing the Nor7e’s focus on remote travel and adventure use.

Advanced Connectivity with Dual M9 Ports - The Nor7e introduces a flexible and robust connectivity system built around two M9 connectors:
  •  1× M9 port for wired power and remote control
  •  1× M9 accessories port with full USB data support 
 This design allows riders to connect CAN, OBD, controllers, USB accessories, or any other custom cable, with virtually any USB device adaptable to M9. The result is a strong, waterproof, and highly expandable ecosystem — including the ability to run two USB accessories simultaneously. Internally, the device runs on 12V, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
