As far as I can make out, you tap on the red helmet to make a connection between your phone and the bike’s navigstion system, if fitted.

Apparently, when the connection is made, the helmet changes to green.

I will create a test route for my test rides later in the week, just to see how (and if) things work.

You seem to have confused the BMW Connected app and the Royal Enfield Navigstion app. Different app’s, very different bikes.

The knife and fork, petrol pump and the two other buttons, bring up locations (cafes, restaurants etc) and petrol stations near to your current location.

I don’t, though I am going to try one or two out.

The manufacturer is becoming increasingly popular on UKGSer, so I thought I might as well find out how (and if) the Royal Enfield Navigation app worked.

Good one Wappers ... I watch with interest.

The Compass fitted to my 2018 Himalayan is as much use as a chocolate fireguard

I have been reading elsewhere that the compass makes a shonky Navigator VI, seem like a finely tuned NASA navigstion system, somewhere on the outer reaches of the galaxy.
