Mirror Navigation Next to Tracer 9 GT+ display

[Erdna]

Hi everybody,

I just picked up my new bike, a 2024 Tracer 9 GT+. I can connect my mobile to the Moto and use the Garmin Motorize App. Which is not too bad, but of course I´d like to use Navigation Next even more.

Here´s where it get´s tricky: the connection Garmin / Tracer is not using Carplay or Android Auto but direct connection using USB or the Tracer´s WiFi Hotspot.

Is there any chance, that the Devs maybe think about considering contacting Yamaha to talk about integration of NN? For me, that would be a dream... but of course I understand that this is no "casual" project.

On the other hand: Tracer sales are constantly increasing and could be a valueable addition to the customer base of MRA / NN... and who would want to ride with Garmin, when he could use NN?

Cheers from Austria,
André

@Erdna Oh - please excuse, but it's easier and with same effect, to pray to Good.
The Display software of bikes are proprietary! I can not imagine, bike manufacturers will be interested to open it for others.
Usually the manufacturer offers a supporting app, to get a connection to the bikes display. But again, each bike manufacturer has its own app.

Sometimes, it would be possible to load a gpx file into the app, which sync it to the bikes display. But mostly only icons and instructions like: "in 50m turn right" will popup on the display. No map, no comfort.
I found it complicated and unhelpful.

Therefore let me suggest: buy a cheap China phone, which isn't a tragedy in case it breakdown after 3 weeks. Better buy a fully featured, robust device, which is developed for use outdoors and on bikes. Then run MyRoute-App on it.

Hi Guzzist,

that´s exactly what I´ve been using on my old 2018 Tracer 900 GT with a Fossibot F101 Pro. Works great, but I always found it a little distracting to look down left. With the new Moto, Yamaha / Garmin show that it works on the main display.

I´d blame Yamaha here not to support Android Auto / Carplay on the Tracer 9 GT+ instead of having another not well thought solution, while the Moto itself is a blast.

Hallo, ich habe ein generalüberholtes iPhone 12 mini gekauft und MRA/NN funktioniert darauf einwandfrei. Wir sind damit 10 Tage lang in Schottland gefahren.
Achten Sie darauf, dass das iPhone im Wind kühlen kann.

Ein Garmin XT2 eignet sich sehr gut für Offroad-Fahrten.

...the second option (use a fully featured, robust device) was a massive game changer for me. Garmin disappointed me more and more on my long distance journeys.

At an exhibition, I could test the devices from manufacturer DMD; really amazing stuff
That are based on Android and have an own App with own maps - and you can run parallel also MyRoute-App. Together with an remote controller on the handlebar (connected by cable or Bluetooth) it's such a great solution - you will ask yourself, why you drove all the years before, without such a solution.

May you will consider that too...

I think you will have a better chance asking in the Yamaha forum about AA/CP compatibility
