To be fair mine failed or hung downloading the maps like 20 times. I had to park my truck right next to my shop where the wifi router, is keep the sled plugged in AND running. and it still took forever just to get the oregon and idaho maps.. its super slow. and I don't know why.
SERVICE BULLETIN: Embedded Map GPS Download & Update Procedure for 10.25" Display

That’s amazing that you could load that much information in 3 minutes.I haven’t read anywhere on here that that has happened.I was at the dealers when they attempted to load these and the same long load .They tried to load with BUDS and it still took quite awhile .You are very fortunate
Wish I could say for sure WHERE the bottleneck is or is not.
For those of you that plan on using the old USB port thats attached to the gauge, I recommend getting a second USB port to charge your phone. The gauge will wake your phone up and want the app to be open or you press use internal GPS. I had a USB port from my G4 that I found in my toolbox and Put it in my G5.
Or a USB block adapter. $9 for a pair on Amazon. Powers your phone but doesn't allow data.
It took me three hours to update both my sleds. Only one worked when I was done and as soon as I restarted the sled it stopped working. They both say invalid GPS position.
is the sled outside where it has a clear shot at the GPS Sats?
I took the one that would not work for a 5 minute ride down the driveway and then let it set outside for another 5 before bringing it inside. The one that worked before I restarted it was inside the shop.
Doo should just give up and license the Poo gauge.
Sure would be nice if all three brands could "Talk" to each other for Rider Tracking

Poo 7s looks like it was something cool back in 2010. BRP 10,25" is a lot more modern. Poo buddy tracking doesnt work here in europe and their maps suck, brp has a lot better ones.
Did we confirm which pins and where? A picture would really help. I still have one sled that says it is updated to 3.0.1 but insists to continue to download and update the software. When it finishes the install, the screen goes dark to update the firmware (like my other sled did) but just goes back to normal startup.
Forcing the screen on may help before I load up and drive to the dealer next.
Thanks.
Finally got my second sled. Had just enough time with the motor running before overheating and shutting down...
So I rode with mine updated including the Oregon maps ( both of them )
I left my phone unplugged on purpose. There is not a single snowmobile trail, or any trail whatsoever on them at all.
While it works and shows roads and like some points of interest type things... there is ZERO trails on it.
if I plug my phone in and use the brp go app, the trails are on there.
Whatever... the huge gauge is useless anyway just been using my trail tech for everything.

I thought the trails do not show up on the gauge until December 15?
