    Default 2018 RT vs 2021 RT BRP Connect - improved any?

    I’m trading my 2018 RT for a 2021 RTL. Is the 2021 BPR connect user friendly or the same crap software that was on my 2018. Hoping after 3 years it will be more user friendly.

    It's worthless on the 2020's, which I believe are identical to the 2021's. I'm really puzzled why they released this at all - poorly functioning software is much worse than no software at all.

    I love my Spyder, and I understand that not everything can be perfect, but this is completely inexcusable.

    Same crap software. Sorry. I don't expect the next gen RT to come out until 2026 or 2027 and I sincerely hope BuRP gets with the times and ditches BuRP Connect and adds Android Auto/Apple Carplay to a larger dash display.

    No difference. They need to improve their GPS system mainly to make it larger. These old eyes can't read something that small anymore. A GPS system (Garmin or TomTom) mounted on the bars works so much better for most of us. And let's not even mention the complicated audio/communication set-up they use. There's just got to be an easier way.

    It's one of the reasons I will continue to ride my '14 RT-S. The only way I will part with my Zumo 590 is when someone pries it from my cold, dead fingers.
