Maybe not, but it still should be integrated for those that do have the camera. In fact all the more reason to do it, Ford would probably sell more of the higher packages with the cameras if they could be used that way. Not just for this app but as a dash cam for normal driving as well.
Only if you could adjust the front camera up a little higher for better "down range" view. I watched my camera till about 10mph and after that, its ridiculous. It seems like your flying right above the ground at 100 mph.
Didn't read your post enough to answer beyond: do some searching and self education.
Seems like something you could be blaming on Canada instead of Alaska.There's an entire country separating me from any of the trails.
Really hate Alaska sometimes.
Same problem with iOSThe integration with Android auto is laughably bad. It straight up does not work and just gives this helpful message the whole time:
Granted, this helpful message only shows up when this is showing on the phone:
And what in the everloving fuck is 'SmartDeviceLink'?! Why in the hell didn't they just use the existing mechanisms built into the phone for hooking into this? Oh, I guess we needed a more 'immersive experience' or something.
Which one of Jim Farley's nephews did this app as their senior class project in high school computer lab? Did they even test with a version of android past 7, or were they just unable to get anything newer than a Nexus 4 for testing?
It's really thoughtful that Ford decided to not treat either ecosystem as second-class citizens, and screwed us all equally
Thanks. I have been a Garmin user for many years and started using GAIA bout 2 years ago. I still us Garmin for pavement travel. GAIA is so much easier to create off road routes.
Sure there are lots of off road areas in the 907 but a lot of them are bottomless pits of muskeg bog, impassable to most anything without tracks. There are a few good ones, and if I still lived there I'd be heading up Monument/4 corners by Eureka, Jim Crekk to as close to the glacier as I could get and some nice trails up in Hatcher Pass. OK the Hatcher Pass trails will have to wait until the snow melts, maybe July or so.
I’ve found Onx to be inaccurate and nearly useless without a cell signal.
I have it downloaded on my phone.TAKE THE ROADS LESS TRAVELED – AND SHARE YOUR ADVENTURE – WITH NEW BRONCO TRAIL APP
MOAB, Utah, May 2, 2023 – Real adventures seldom happen where streets are paved. That’s why Ford is making it easy to discover, plan and share off-road journeys with the new Bronco® Trail App.
Ford today debuts the Bronco Trail App for Apple iOS and Google Android mobile devices at Bronco Safari 2023 in Utah, where hundreds of Bronco enthusiasts are gathering to show off their vehicles and tackle some of the challenging trails that can be found in the app.
Available only for Bronco® SUV owners, the app features approximately 1,200 professionally curated off-road trail maps across the U.S., Canada and Mexico to start. It also provides the ability to record drives with waypoints, photos and video – and lets you share your adventure on social media.
Future updates will continue to add more trails and features to the Bronco Trail App.
After downloading the Bronco Trail App and linking it to their FordPass account, Bronco owners gain access to key features, including:
Curated trail maps: Always stay on the trail with the Bronco Trail App and discover roughly 18,000 miles of existing trails in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Filter by location, length, difficulty, and more. Each trail has a description and can be saved for future adventures.
Points of interest: Keep track of what’s ahead, like tough challenges, scenic points of interest, waypoints, can’t-miss photo ops, and more. Once you’ve saved a trip, you can add your own waypoints, photos, and notes about your experience.
Satellite imagery and 2D topographic maps: Access and download different map styles to prepare for the journey ahead. Going off-grid? No problem: you can view downloaded maps even if you are offline.
Pressure gauge: Some trails recommend lower or higher tire pressure to traverse – Bronco Trail App features a real-time tire pressure gauge built in the app to assist with adjusting to desired tire pressure on the trail and recommended pressure for the road. And you can use it even when you don’t have a cellular or cloud connection.
Adventure tracking: Bookmark and record favorite trails to visit again or share experiences from your phone with other Bronco owners.
Video capturing: Capture video of your drive by securing your smartphone in the vehicle. Finished recordings can be viewed in the app or through a connection with your vehicle’s center console, with overlay data like speed, RPM, distance traveled, elevation, and more. Once you’re done recording, the video will be automatically saved to your phone and available to share via text, social media channel or in online forums.
The Bronco Trail App is complimentary to download and use. It’s available now in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
