BTTalk is the Midland App for two-way radio communication between people and groups, especially created for the motorbike riders. There are no limits of distance or number of people who can talk to each other. Everyone can talk to everyone, just like a walkie talkie. BTTalk uses any Internet connection: 2G, 3G, 4G or a WiFi network. Combined with Midland BTT Button, the handlebar wireless PTT button, it becomes even easier to talk bike to bike. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
