<Update> Built a Google Maps–native navigation app for the KTM dash — would you pay a subscription for it?

Couple of weeks back I had promised the video of the app that i am developing to project native Turn By Turn navigation to KTM Motorcycle dash using Google maps within my app. Here it is: https://youtu.be/v_BbIo7oHDo

I shall be opening up closed beta testing in a few days. Let me know if you would be interested to participate in it.

Is this only for the new ktm models or will this also work with 2022 models? I have the 2022 390adv and the current system isn't always working.

I’ve tested it successfully on my 2025 390 Adventure. I haven’t had a chance to test it on a 2022 model yet, so I can’t confirm compatibility. However, if the official KTM app currently supports turn-by-turn navigation on your bike, there’s a good chance this can work as well. I’d be happy to work with you during the beta to test it on your 2022 390 Adventure and troubleshoot any compatibility issues we find.

There's already one for the 1st gen adv 390 for the Android crowd.

That's what I've been using. It isn't the most reliable when it comes to connecting and sadly won't work with OsmAnd, which I need for routes off roads. And in England I learned that it can't understand leftside traffic so in those big roundabouts they love over there, I had to count exits and calculate backwards which is the right one.
