## Description

BMW Motorrad Connected turns your smartphone into a motorcycle navigation and planning tool. Plan routes with waypoints, import GPX files, and view weather for your location. It can connect wirelessly to BMW motorcycles equipped with a TFT display or ConnectedRide Cradle via Bluetooth, using the Multi-Controller for safe on-handlebar control. If your bike lacks a TFT display but has a Multi-Controller, the ConnectedRide Cradle can turn your phone into a navigation display.

Key features include motorcycle-specific navigation with winding-route criteria, lane-by-lane guidance, real-time traffic data, and offline maps. You can record journeys, analyze performance (e.g., banking angle, acceleration, engine speed), export GPX routes, and share rides and photos on social media. The app also provides vehicle data like mileage, range, tire pressure, and online service scheduling. Note that hardware compatibility and an internet connection are required for traffic data, and GPS usage may impact battery life.

## Review summary

The BMW Motorrad Connected app is valued for core ride data and useful bike-dash navigation, especially after proper setup. However, multiple reviews point to persistent connectivity problems, incomplete or inaccurate maps, stability/UX bugs, and missing modern UX options (CarPlay/Android Auto) plus no in-app feedback. These recurring issues hinder reliability on the road, while the core features remain a strong asset when the app functions correctly.

### Pros

- Provides useful core ride and vehicle information for the motorcycle.
- Navigation feature is integrated with the bike's dashboard and is useful when it works.
- Easy to use after initial setup and can log rides in the background.
- Overall, reviewers feel the app offers valuable functionality that enhances the riding experience.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues: the app often disconnects, won’t stay connected, and requires repeated re-pairing or resets.
- Maps/navigation reliability and data gaps: missing cities/roads, incomplete map data, and occasional incorrect or unreliable routing (speed limits/trip data too).
- Stability and UX bugs: app freezes, address input can be cleared, annoying CAPTCHA/2FA prompts, and other interface glitches.
- Lack of CarPlay/Android Auto support and no in-app feedback channel: no easy way to submit feedback or bug reports, and CarPlay/Android Auto support is missing.
