BRP GO!: Maps & Navigation Reviews

by Massmilkman

Awful! Hasn’t worked since day 1. Just says waiting and never connects. $20,000 goat a snowmobile and a gauge package that’s supposed to be allI need and is useless!

by Ddfyjguinggikbg

BRP really missed the mark on this one, I ordered a 2021 sled with the upgraded gauge panel to use BRPGOMapsNavigation and it is a complete joke, there should be a class action brought against BRP as this feeble short sided attempt at a navigation system was a complete waste of money to any and all that paid for this upgrade with hopes it would work. Biggest disappointment! Should have ordered a Polaris with ride command as this system is an embarrassment. Scott / Eagle River, WI

I created a new account and set up a password. I couldn’t login. I reset my password. I still couldn’t login. I reset my password 3 more times and still couldn’t login.

Let us delete competed rides!!!

by Skidoo7272

I hate how you start to build a ride , put in points on the map and it will automatically route ya all the back the way you came and goes another way that is way longer, instead of following the trail ahead and route to the point of interest which is closer to where you are at!!!!!!

Prior to app update was able to plug in phone
Start sled
Let phone connect to sled
Then turn on Sena connect to Sena from sled and music would work.

Now tried several sequences and iPhone will not play music trough sled to Sena 50r

Why can I not view snowmobile trails now? When I go into BRPGOMapsNavigation to look at the trails, it shows the message “off season trails” and then won’t show the snowmobile trails. I don’t see any way to fix this in the settings.

Edit: Thanks for the response. Trails are now viewable! I do wish there was an easier way to have your friends visible. We should be able to do this without creating a ride or area exploration. Maybe just an “always on” feature so I can see my friends onscreen at all times.

After loading the new GO for use on my Spyder and trying it out, Sygic now links and works better than it had previously.

However, the ability to listen to ‘my’ phone’s music is now gone, which, IMHO, is terrible. Sometimes I just want to jam while riding.

The first time I loaded the new GO App and Sygic, I hit the road. My music did play, sort of, but constantly cut out and finally just stopped, although the turn by turn instructions were fine. (Note: the couple of times I have used this so far, I used the bike speakers and didn’t try to connect to my Cardo)

Although I loaded a few other Apps on the bike, I have not yet tried them out, so can’t speak of any other potential issues.

Please fix the music ASAP!!

Need to add places on map gas stop and food places

After BRP support stated I didn’t need to pair the headset to the bike, this works exactly the way I want it to. The phone app needs to be reconfigured within BRP Connect and assuming they do that. Then it may get four stars. I can use my Cardo voice commands or Siri. That’s what I wanted.

BRP, you keep stating that music and phone are coming back, when?

It’s been 90+ days.

by Pinkbeemer

BRPGOMapsNavigation is more user friendly & stable than Connect was, the display is easier to see. The biggest downside is no longer supporting the Music app, please bring that back.

Synced my phone and communicators to my new XR-S 900 turboR for the trip this weekend. Just a few suggestions. 1. When trying to place a call having to scroll through all the contacts with the turn dial is a pain. There should be a way to access your favorite contacts. 2. Couldn’t figure out how to get a playlist of music to play from my iPhone. I was able to play music but it was all random songs from my phone. Any suggestions or if there is no way to do it there should be!

BRP should parter with Vvmapping or garmin or another mapping company

Thanks

Last year it was almost useless good thing my body had a Garmin GPS this year it is much better however it still has a ways to go lots of trails are not on BRPGOMapsNavigation yet Dunbar Wisconsin is one example

New York State map seemed fairly accurate until you got to old Forge where the trails were missing

by FarmingtonJonesy

How do you change the settings so the map doesn’t spin? I want North to be locked towards the top. Auto recalculating to my destination would be nice too so I don’t have to take my gloves off. Make it like a car - automatic.
Huge improvement over the previous version.

The snowmobile trails are only visible when you zoom way in on the map. What good is that for? When you’re needing to decide the best way from point A to B, you need to zoom out on the map to determine the best route and which trail to take. As you zoom out, the trails disappear and the map program shows only streets and highways. I’m on a sled for gods sake, I don’t give a rip about highway roads. I need the SNOWMOBILE trails! It is a snowmobile trail mapping app for crying out loud! Have the developers of BRPGOMapsNavigation ever snowmobiled? All this development on BRPGOMapsNavigation about saving your ride so your friends can see where I rode? Huh? Who cares about that? Have any of you ever wished “Boy, I wish I could have Google Maps save my trip to the store today so my buddies could see which way I drove my car today.” “Look Charlie, George rode 8.2 miles to work today and he went by Larry’s farm on the way!” Who does that? Maybe they should hire me, a snowmobiler, to help tell them how snowmobile trail map software should operate. Ever think of adding gas stations to the map? Novel concept.

Ok. I came back and I’m editing this review one month later…
I’ve got to hand it to the developers, they have listened and made BRPGOMapsNavigation actually very nice while plugged in to the snowmobile cluster. The trick is, and I implore all of you to go buy a new charging cord from your phones manufacture, not a generic cheap one, and clean the lint out of your phones charging female plug before connecting to your snowmobile cluster. The bouncing around over the trails will cause your old/worn cord to not plug into your phone tight enough to keep a good connection. Once you use a new cord, BRPGOMapsNavigation works great on the cluster. The turn by turn navigation over the trails here in northern Minnesota is a game changer. It works great and once you get used to how the developers want you to use the phone to plan your route, or go to a destination, it is nothing but fantastic. No more cold hands digging your phone or trail map out of your pocket. And keeping your phone charged all day is a nice bonus.
Now how about the developers allow community edits on the map to add parking spots, gas, food, or most importantly trail conditions? It would be nice to tell my fellow Ski Doo riders where the groomer has been, or more importantly where not to go if trails are rough.

Good job developers, you’ve updated and fixed BRPGOMapsNavigation very nicely!

Accurate, needs better turn by turn navigation for destinations.

by Kloos1

Zoom issue has been fixed, thanks for getting this correct BRP!

by Matt Vandenboss

Why do the snowmobile trails disappear on the map when I zoom out? I want to zoom out and look at a large region and decide what direction we want to go, not always just put in the destination and let it route me there. Please make it so the snow maps stay visible when you zoom the map out!

No trails for NY state???

by Old Forge Ski Doo

Can’t use this in portrait mode as it doesn’t do landscape and there is no NY maps!?
Disappointed!

by Tree Cuter

There are a lot of trails missing on these maps. BRPGOMapsNavigation in its current format would not be very useful. Hope they will get the maps updated to accurately reflect the trails systems.
