Well I had another go with the connect cradle and apps today, I wanted to try a bit of off road work with the iPhone in the cradle and I need the practice before the Keilder 500 next month.
Started with a road route from my dealer to another dealership, so I set it to winding roads set the slide in the centre and again the app took me on some good roads.
Now when I got to the start of the trail I swapped apps to pocket earth which I had preloaded the tracks in. So then it was just a case of following the track, this worked really well, with my only complaint being I could do with a brighter screen, that’s mainly because I had my transitions visor on which was pure black in the sunlight, if it had been warmer I would have had Google’s on but the wind was bloody cold today.
So going forward it should work well for me, I’ll use the bmw app for roads to get to events. When rallying I’ll switch the apps to my rally ico trip app, with pocket earth recording the routes in the background. All this with no cables and wireless charging.
