The BMW Motorrad Connected app is a useful tool for motorcycle riders who want to get the most out of their rides. With the app, users can plan dream routes using waypoints or import routes as a GPX file. The app also saves impressions and data gathered during the ride under the user's rides. The app connects to the motorcycle via Bluetooth and provides verbal announcements and arrow indications that are easily visible in the TFT display to ensure safe navigation. The app also allows users to share their routes, riding data, and photos with friends on social media or Rever.
The BMW Motorrad Connected app offers several features to enhance the riding experience. The app provides route planning and storage with waypoints, motorcycle-specific navigation with "winding route" route criterion, weather information for the current location, and route import and export (GPX files). The app also offers motorcycle navigation suitable for everyday use, turn indications with arrow navigation in the TFT display, lane recommendations, current traffic data, speed limit display, and point-of-interest search. Additionally, the app allows users to record distances traveled, analyze performance values such as banking angle, acceleration, and engine speed, and export routes as GPX files.
To use the BMW Motorrad Connected app, users must have a motorcycle equipped with Connectivity and TFT and establish a connection to their communication system, if present. The app can only be used actively in combination with vehicles with a TFT display. The app is displayed in the language configured in the smartphone, and not all languages are supported. A mobile internet connection is necessary to receive traffic data, which can result in costs in accordance with the contract between the customer and provider. Continuous use of GPS localization in the background may lead to a reduced battery life.
In conclusion, the BMW Motorrad Connected app is a valuable tool for motorcycle riders who want to plan dream routes, record their journeys, and share their experiences with friends. The app offers several features to enhance the riding experience, including route planning and storage, motorcycle-specific navigation, and tour recording. However, users must have a motorcycle equipped with Connectivity and TFT and establish a connection to their communication system, if present, to use the app actively.
