BRP dumping Connect???

[Flamewinger]

I just noticed I have a new navigation app on my BRP Connect. It is Waave Boating, a marine navigation app. I wonder if it replaces Sygic......does anyone know how fast you need to be going on an RT to float enough to use a marine app?

Went for a short ride and the new Waave app doesn't show up in the dash. Kinda like Accuweather. Really don't know what's going on with the BRP C system. :-(

Neither does BRP. That’s the problem.

It is annoying to hear of the problems. I subscribed to and downloaded the apps required by Connect and found them to be troublesome to deal with. I like to keep things simple so I just installed a phone holder on the handlebars and use one of the navigation apps on my phone. They are easy to work with and reliable as long as there is an internet connection. Of course since the Connect apps required internet connectivity as well I have lost nothing there.

I could mount a real GPS but between the Nav apps and paper maps I have been able to navigate for the last 50 years with no trouble.

Also, given the poor stereo performance, I stream music via bluetooth to by helmet intercom speakers.

Simple solutions to annoying problems. I just wish BRP would have left this "feature" off of the bike and lowered the price.
