SERVICE BULLETIN: Embedded Map GPS Download & Update Procedure for 10.25" Display

Can you add waypoints onto the gauge ? Example: sled cabin , jerrycan drop etc?

 

[WinterMountaineer]

I wonder if the latest map update helped with the breadcrumbs? I heard of a fellow in my area that was having the breadcrumb issue but didn’t have the latest map update.

I think the firmware/map updates help, yes.

Note, that sometimes the gauge will say 'installed 3.0.1', but if you hit 'update', it will re-download and install. That means the firmware and software did not fully install properly. The only way I could do it, was starting the engine when really cold and letting it go while running...

No, that is a big drawback for sure.

We found some roads on the gauge that were not on our phone map, which for a couple of rides was really helpful. Got us into some places we didn't know about.

What a PITA to get it installed , probably 3-4 hours before i actually got it to fully install and not show the update still available. Had to have sled running and battery charger on for the install to work properly. Havent been out riding yet but the lack of features on the GPS is a let down.

 

[WinterMountaineer]

Do not rely on the breadcrumbs as they will unexpectedly delete on their own when you restart the sled. I have had it happen to me and numerous others in our group.

You are right. Lost mine once today. No idea why, and couldn't reproduce it.

Random. And unreliable.

10.25 gauge = fail.

Doo should trade Poo something for the 7S gauge and just move on.

Still better then the small gauge, lots of polaris sleds available for purchase with a 7s.

Soooo
I just installed the new update and the new maps.
And it went 100% SMOOTH and FAST
I was AMAZED.
No Hiccups
No Delays
No Retries.

Worked perfectly on the very first attempt.

New to big gauge for this year so still trying to figure this thing out. So I picked up the sled from dealer it had 3.0 software update and it would erase my breadcrumb trail randomly. Updated to 3.01 and seems to be good. Anybody else finding this? Or just coincidence

I think its just a coincidence.

For the guys that have lost their breadcrumbs, did you shut the gauge off manually, or let it time out?

I shut it off manually everytime I stopyou think that makes a difference? Next time I head out will leave it and see

I updated mine to 3.01 and it was an option to re download it again. Will try adding it again and see

I didn’t have issues all day today, my bread crumbs stayed if I left the gauge shut off on its own. I was in a new zone I also used the app to store the tracks on my account for future.

 

[giddyup]

i didnt know we could save the tracks, to use later, im new to the big screen as well, only have a couple of rides on it, did the update and all seams good, do we have to save it with BRP GO

Yes the tracks save on the Brp app. Just make an account.

Will give that a try next time wil just let it time out. I did save my tracks those days on the BRP app and worked flawlessly.

I personally don’t think the gauge is as bad as everyone here is making it out to be. They are working on it getting the bugs out , fine tuning. Could it be better sure it will get there
