There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I would be interested in an updated list too. I would also be interested in a GS/RS vehicle icon instead of that big butted RT one I got now.:roflblack:

Firefly,
I am a pretty good script writer. If someone has a data feed maybe in CSV format and an output format I could probably automate the creation of such a list and thus make it easier to maintain.

Unfortunately it's more involved as each dealer needs to be geolocated and updated, etc......and then exported in the proper format for Garmin to understand....

I doubt it is that current plus it has innacuracies. The two dealers closest to me one did not exist and the other has the right address but the wrong GPS info.

Is there a dealer list?
Is there a current list of dealers on BRP website or is there just the dealer locator? I believe I can automate this process if only I had a current list of dealer names, addresses and phone numbers.

Script is done!
I already have the script not as automated as I would like but it is only the first attempt.
I created a new GPX based on data that was in the above linked GPX.
1. GPX Data was converted to a CSV file.
2. My local dealers were remove/added/corrected to the CSV file.
3. The data was then batch geolocated from just the address data then the Longitude and Latitude were added to the CSV file.
4. My script created the gpx file using the CSV as input.
5. I loaded the newly created gpx onto my Garmin Zumo 660 and it does work.
I just need a current dealer list with the following data:
Name, Street, City, State, Zip, Country, Phone

That can work, but accuracy may be a problem.... if your original address has errors, or a dealer moved, etc....... and then depending on what you're using for the geolocation. I use proprietary USPS software to get the address information as close to 100% as possible before doing the geocoding part..... I've used both googlemaps and a stand alone geo program with mixed results from both.
I could handle the address updating and correction part and then let you geocode from there if you want......
Let me see what I can access for dealers right now....
send me your email address.....
Mine is [email protected]

Agreed Dan, the final GPX is only as good as the raw data. I guess BRP does not publish an all inclusive list?
Lamont,
Can you get an updated current dealer list from your contacts at BRP in text format that includes the above mentioned data?
If you can we can crank out a new GPX.

They used to publish it in a PDF which I would extract the data from and then reformat it to something that could be worked with.

Mastertek2000, sorry if my post sounded abrupt. Not shooting at you, just commenting, help is ALWAYS appreciated here.
My guess is it is the same list that is already out there that has been recycled.
