Hey Everyone! 😁
I hope you are well.
This is just a cheeky re upload on the 2021 BMW R1250 RT LE TFT dash and navigation.
This was when we first saw the screen lit up at Williams Motorcycles in Manchester, upon delivery of our first NEW R1250 RT LE.
Now for the keen eyed amongst you... you will realise that I have already posted this video once for a very, very brief time... didn't realise I had breached an international embargo so down the video came!
I will use the questions asked in the comments section to create a more indepth video once I've swotted up on it a bit more 🤓
Thanks for the love as always!

HIYAAAAAA! 😁 Right everyone, this is the video that I had to take down because I did an oopsy and uploaded it before the embargo lifted 🤦‍♀️ So... if you have any questions, please drop them in the comments and I will round them up and do another vlog that addresses these questions 😊 Cheers all!!!!

Hi Kate. Nice review. I like your videos b/c you tend to focus on the salient points. However, Your intro music is so loud and abrupt that I fell off the chair when I started watching this review. Then the sound level during your commentary was so low that I had to turn the volume way up. And, of course, the sign-off music came on so loud that I fell off the chair again. Please do something about sound levels in your videos. But keep them coming - they are all good :-)

Yes, navigation is very nice, if, if you do nit have an Apple iPhone connected to the BMW Connected App. This connection get problems after 30-100km, You habe to stop bike, grap phone out of the box, start map again. BMW tells you and me that its an Apple problem in bluetooth and they work with Apple to resolbe it somewhere in the future. This is the bad side if connecticity, you have problems from foreign components you can not controll. If they do not solve this in the next 3 weeks in need an Android pnone only for navigation.

Hi Kate, Great clip but I have the new RT with TFT I think you should show how to connect phone to bike Wifi as your video shows it already connected, the connectivity is not good at the moment whereby the connect keeps dropping so there is no way of connecting the bike again without stopping, lets hope BMW can overcome this with software updates.

For those moving over from the Nav GPS and who use .gpx route files I gather these can be exported from say BaseCamp to your phone and BMW Connected App. Could you check however whether POIs can be similarly exported from BaseCamp to the phone and then made visible on the TFT.

So, in a nutshell, you have to use your phone and your DATA Plan for GPS Navigation. This could get very expensive in over-charges to your Cell Phone Account! Especially on a long trip. That sucks! So, for those that don't want or wish to own a Cell Phone, this bike would have to be passed if you want GPS Navigation...and for a premium MSRP price. Why?

@twinwheels4717 3 жыл бұрын

On the connected app you download the maps to your phone, once they are there that's it, no data charges as it's basically mirroring your phone. I don't know anyone who's not got a smartphone in this day and age...

Yuck. Sorry I don’t like the tft. I’m afraid I like gauges. I also think it look a bit odd just stuck at the front of the bike. It’s almost like BMW had a warehouse load of tft screens from the car department and didn’t know what to do with them. It’s a game changer for me and I’m sad to say would stop me buying a new rt. I have a 2018 r1200rt le that I bought new two weeks before the release of the new 1250 and would have probably upgraded if BMW had stuck to gauges but this is not a look I like. Sorry if I rained on anyone’s parade there. 😷
