2018 Spyder RT Limited Genuis Map & Volume Problem

[meerkat]

RT updates

:spyder2: The 2018 rt limited has had about 5 updates . Don't ask me how I know . The last one has been the best , but still does not work flawlessly . The average mpg sometimes works and sometimes not . Go to the dealer and ask him if you have the latest .

NuttyBuckeye, I'm new to this whole spyder thing. Just bought a 2018 F3L and I'm having a heck of a time getting the GPS to work. Would you be kind enough to post a step by step procedure for this neanthratal.
Thanks in advance.

Joe

I got it through trial and error. The following steps should help if I recall them correctly. Others can buzz in if I’m off on anything.

1. First, I needed to buy the map I needed (North American).
2. Then needed to purchase the connectivity for the app.
3. I turn on the Genius app on my phone and key in my destination.
4. I then plug my phone in.
5. Turn ignition key on and wait for the connection. You should see icons at bottom of display on dash that will show you the phone is connected.
6. Press the BRP connect lever on left grip once (used to be CB press to talk lever?)
7. The map that first displays seemed to be my iPhone map (this is what kept throwing me off), so then I fiddled around and discovered that pressing and holding the center of the joystick button for a couple seconds would bring up the list of apps on the dash display. If the maps icon is grayed out (not active), I think I “toggled” over to it (using the joystick) and I think I just selected it and waited for activation.
8. The genius map should then appear on the dash display.

NuttyBuckeye Thanks for posting. I am on the same page but I'm not getting the volume on the genius maps??? More experimenting to do.

I don’t have helmet com, but with radio on I can hear the turn by turn; just can’t make it out. Yeah, just fiddle with it and hopefully you get it to work. I know there’s a volume control for the map app, but adjusting that and my phone didn’t help. Really didn’t expect to be able to hear clearly anyway considering wind, noise, and wearing helmet.

IF, when you hear Genius Maps giving directions, you use the joystick to increase the volume. But only when hearing the Maps sounding. When the radio or other music is playing then the joystick turns that up or down. I tend to open the Maps before connecting the phone to the bike and touch the speaker icon and uncheck the alerts. You can also mute or adjust the volume.

Thanks for the feed back, I'll keep after it, when I figure it out I'll be sure to post how to do it. I know it's doable just have to dope it out. how's that saying go "it's easy when you know how"
