Last week in Revy we had issues adding a 3rd rider to the group ride we had already setup with 2 of us the day before. With 2 of us the group ride worked flawless on Monday. Tuesday we had a friend join us with a 9R c/w a 7S gauge. He could not see our group ride on his screen at all. We tried several things: shut down and restarted all the 7S gauges, cleared past group rides he had on his gauge, no matter what we did he could not see our group ride or any others. A few hours later we tried it all again and then he was able to see our ride and join it, however he could not see us and we could not see him. Then all of a sudden he showed up as a 3rd rider in our group but just as an x with his name. The 7S would not show him ever moving from the sport that it briefly connected to our ride. The 2 of us that initially had the ride set up still worked properly that whole day. We never had any password setup that you need to join. Were we doing something wrong or is there an issue with his antenna or 7S gauge?
7S group ride issues

Have seen that happen with my buddies with trail techs. One of my buddies trailtech is real finicky with GPS signal. Was your budding getting a GPS Signal?
It happened to mine once too ( on my trail tech, I havn't had the issue on my 7s yet ). Where my trail tech sat there for 30 minutes without getting a GPS signal.
I doubt your doing anything wrong. Probably didn't have a GPS lock for some reason. Or maybe different firmware versions?

The X next to someone's name means you lost contact with them, so its wherever it last was known. My buddies does that all the time just randomly stops sending the rest of us his location.
His 7S always showed his position and tracked himself just fine
Mine has been the same way ever since I bought it I've never connected it to anyone else's. The gauge died once and got replaced under warranty. Still it doesn't connect with a new gauge and I can never see another group. Shrug.
Always connects to satellites and shows my location and tracking just fine.

Make sure the V2V antenna is properly attached to the back of the 7SDD gauge, Disconnect the antenna wire, check that all the pins and sockets are in good order, reconnect until you hear the click. The V2V antenna is the round black ball sticking up near the gauge.

Also make sure the rider who is joining, has GPS lock, before joining the group ride.
He had a solid gps lock, could see himself and it laid breadcrumbs just fine.

How about the V2V antenna and connections?
I'll get him to check those.
