Whether BMW ConnectedRide products or your smartphone: The ConnectedRide Navigator combines all devices and media applications in one device. For example, when the connection between the motorcycle and the navigator is active, the navigation function, telephony and media are grayed out on the motorcycle's TFT display and clearly shown on the ConnectedRide Navigator's display.

Thanks to BMW Motorrad Cloud Integration and your BMW ID, you can synchronize all routes, recordings and plans between the navigator and the BMW Connected app.

Operation and integration into the motorcycle:

easy and quick installation of the ConnectedRide Navigator in the vehicle-specific holder (SA "Navigation preparation")
maximum integration into the motorcycle by connecting the ConnectedRide Navigator to the on-board network, which is only possible in conjunction with the special equipment “Navigation preparation”
Convenient operation via the multi-controller and data exchange between the motorcycle and navigator for use of the "My Motorcycle" function. "My Motorcycle" records, for example, status information about the motorcycle as well as tour information such as distance, speed or lean angle.
Backwards compatible: Almost all BMW motorcycle models with Multi-Controller (from approx. model year 2014) and special equipment for preparing a navigation device can use the ConnectedRide Navigator and operate it via the Multi-Controller.

GPX data can be imported and exported via the BMW Connected app or via a USB-C cable to the PC.

Waypoints: By using waypoint-based navigation, the ConnectedRide Navigator always leads to the next waypoint. How the next waypoints are reached can be defined in the routing criteria. If a defined waypoint should not be passed, it can be actively skipped.
Route points: Route points are points that are mainly defined by planning tools to predefine the route in more detail. When an intermediate point is passed, the ConnectedRide Navigator continues to the next route point. Here it is not necessary to skip via points.
Track: A track is a series of many trackpoints along a route. The route is just drawn on the map without any guidance. When navigating with a track, you see the track on the map and your own position. As a driver, you can decide which way you want to take to follow the route. Tracks are mainly used to follow predefined trips (e.g. from online planning tools or a trip shared by another driver).
