Kinda works, kinda doesn't. I'll have to remember to revisit it in the future once all the kinks are ironed out.

Some of us like it kinky.

It works on my phone, shows as a icon on Apple Carplay,
But refuses to sync…
Opened, closed, deleted, turned on, turned off
Going to delete the app (again), turn everything off for the night at try from scratch tomorrow

When I get that screen, if I wait (like over a minute) it will eventually work.

App works quite well in my opinion. I will be able to download the imagery and base before exploring the 3 national forests in my area. I tested the video and didn’t work. No big deal and not plan on using that.

I created some way points, downloaded one map. Not sure how you do tracks, all I see is way point options. Overall impressed. Better than paying for Onyx even though Onxy has a ton more features.

Love this! Just in time for Bronco Safari!!

how did you get carplay to go full screen. my 2021 12" only goes 2/3 screen..

Great innovation from Ford with this app however the complaints about being forced logged out and needing to authenticate each time are valid. I was near some trails today without cell service and wanted to give the app a try, well that was a no go. I was logged in before I left home but when up in the trails I couldn’t access at all. Hope Ford figures this out.

I’ll ask a stupid question, are the curated trails supposed to show on the screen in the Bronco or just your phone? I only see them on the phone.

You have to download the curated trail first. Then it will show under my maps.

Make sure you tie into your home Wi-Fi, enable automatic updates and allow updates to happen.

This doesn’t work. There are lots of 2021’s not getting updates. Ford doesn’t acknowledge there’s an issue. Only say that updates are tied to particular VINs and we are up to date. But we are not. Mine hasn’t updated in over a year.

What are your settings? You may need to hook
Up with someone who has FDRS. Where is your location?

Don’t want to hijack this thread, but since you asked …
Both automatic and scheduled updates are on and it’s connected to wifi every night. I’m in western NY but it shouldn’t need to be “hacked” to update. Friend of mine in dealer service department thinks off the record that there was an issue with certain models getting computers bricked so they stopped updating them.

Got mine installed and working. My issues are being constantly logged out and it crashes every time I try to record the video on my phone. Those happening hand in hand is the worst.

I can confirm that all the trails are from the FunTreks book someone previously mentioned. My AZ FunTreks book matches these trails exactly, including the trail description verbatim.

@jesse-Infotainment Jesse- any chance to pull VIN and find out what updates may be needed, or if hardware is truly an issue?

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.
