About this app

This app reads your phones turn-by-turn navigation notifications and sends them over Bluetooth to your KTM/Husqvarna motorcycle which displays them in the dashboard.
This has the advantage that you can use your favorite powerful map application without having to download any maps to your phone or having to get used to a new mapping app.

Instructions:
- pair the motorcycle via Bluetooth (if you have not done this before already)
- plan your route and start navigation in the mapping application
- start this app

- if you drive on the left side of the road: change the option inside settings to display roundabout correctly.

Requirements:
Your KTM must be My Ride Navigation compatible (unfortunately the 250 and 390 Duke are not compatible :().

Tested with a 2019 KTM 790 Adventure and a current version of google maps but also works on the 390 Adventure and 1290 Super Adventure and the Husqvarna Norden 901.

Problems:
Please check that in you android settings -> apps -> (google)maps -> notifications -> navigation is enabled.

Ratings and reviews

Awesome app! Can't believe it's free. Tested and works on my 390 adventure. If you're having troubles, don't give a bad review until you've done troubleshooting. First, your bike must be compatible with KTMconnect. Second, your google maps must have an active notification in the top bar while navigating. If it's not there, do this: Settings->Apps->Maps->Notifications->Notification Categories-> under Maps Features, turn on "allow notifications" and "navigation".

Fantastic! Brilliant turn-by-turn navigation via my Cardo unit. Means I can keep my eyes on the road with occasional glances at my phone. Even picks up speed cameras. Has helped me navigate through the city of London a few times without fault.

Reading alot of reviews, i see that thier are alot of people having same issues as me ,,i open app and just getting screen that says reconnect or show bugs .have managed to get google maps up on phone then get first direction on bike dash then nothing. Can you add a video of setup to connection, would be very grateful thanks simon.
