My Triumph 4+

If the smartphone pairing technology with a bike is driving your buying decision on a new triumph I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

- you can’t save a route even though it literally asks you if you want to leave the nav page without saving. You cannot plan rides with this app.
- the app stays active the moment it’s opened and even in the background when you switch to another app until you manually close it
- the directions don’t give you enough time between steps especially when it comes to short notice turns or merges. An additional subtext in the dash of what’s coming next would be nice
- as someone mentioned in another review, it doesn’t use the common highway/road names which leads to confusion

Really the only reasons I use the app is for short one way trips and looking at my odometer, since it’s actually easier to do than finding it on the dash itself.

Luckily I have an iPhone X which is supported and had no issues pairing with my tiger 900. Pretty disappointed overall, and hope to get major improvements in the future. Devs, I highly recommend taking notes from the Calimoto app, which is my go to for all moto navigation riding.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We will look into this as part of the future developments of the app.

This is incredibly sad, and I also cannot depend on this for simple routes. 1. Make it so a person can review the turn by turn directions, esp if you only provide next turn info. This gets hard navigating an unfamiliar route and I’ve missed multiple turns because it takes a minute to catch up after a couple turns in a row. Also, show next turn somewhere, so next turn and turn after that. 2. If your off route, there are two choices go back to route or stop and redo the route. Google will auto re-route. Without it re-routing you have to stick to the route. I still think it would be best to offer it as an option, because it also frustrates me when google changes a route to save me 30 seconds. 3. The app continues to use location even when you have it, while using application. Could you do a power off button like waze? I am having to go back and forth now to setting to give and take away permissions. Agreed with prior comment, don’t buy the Triumph for Navigation, but other than that it seems to be a nice bike.

Also, maybe look at other developers or options. Some of the issues from a year ago are still issues. It doesn’t have any good ratings. We need a nice app for a nice bike.

Thanks for your valuable feedback and improvement suggestions. This information has been passed onto our development team for review.

Great to see that the app of being improved with newer features! Happy to know that folks at triumph are not sleeping post release of the v1.0.

Feature request: Saving frequently visited PoIs like Home, Work, Gym etc to avoid keying in the address everytime. Please allow for users to save a min of 5 frequently visited places as ‘speed dial’.

****************************************************
Updates as on 01/26: Using the app for a few weeks, feel the following can be improved 1. Show the map and route updates/ traffic updates (with navigation prompts) on the amazing TFT screen Tigers have. 2. Show trip metrics e.g. Speed/ Top speed/ Lean Angle/ Fuel Consumption 3. Allow bike ride planning in advance and save atleast 5 future trips. 4. Allow atleast 2 fav POIs , home & office so that it’s faster to get going. ——•—•—I love the interface and it’s certainly handy to have the navigation prompts on the beautiful/ large TFT screen (phone can be in your pocket/ no need to use the phone screen for navigation). The pairing was a bit tricky thought - the instructions are great for iOS but one key requirement is missing - your phone’s name/Bluetooth name can’t be long (say more than 15 to 20 characters, if that is the case the pairing will be successful but navigation will not connect. I got to solve it by Trail & Error. This should be added as a call out on the instructions. Overall great app!
