KTM MY RIDE Navigation
To save on mobile data use, maps can be downloaded for offline use; this also helps to create and save pre-planned routes. As KTM knows its ADVENTURE riders like to stray from the beaten path, up to 128 waypoints can be added to a route when planning in order to create truly unique rides.
In addition, audio guidance in either English, German, Spanish, Italian or French can be utilized when also paired with a Bluetooth-enabled helmet headset. Negating the use of a separate screen, next to the speedometer and rev counter display on the TFT display, KTM MY RIDE Navigation displays:
| Turn-by-turn arrow icons indicating the next turn direction |
| Distance to the next turn |
| The name of the next street |
| Arrival time (final destination) |
| Distance to target (final destination) |
KTM MY RIDE Navigation is not only exclusive to those with 2018 machines as owners of 2017 KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S & R can also benefit by having the cost-free software upgrade installed and activated at an official KTM dealer.
