Before your Ride
Before taking a ride on your Can-Am SxS or ATV, follow the steps below in the app to maximize your experience when you’re out on the trails or in the desert.
Download areas for offline riding
Get all your maps before the adventure starts! Sometimes the off-road takes us to surprising places and not all of them have reliable internet connection. So, it is ideal to download the area of the map you intend to explore before leaving your garage to enjoy the most of your BRP GO! app. If the area has been downloaded in advance, most of the navigation features will be available even if you lose the signal. The two exceptions are the locate your friends on the map or the save a custom location features, which require a mobile network connection at all times.
Note: To download an area, you must have an Internet connection.
From the Settings tab:

- Press ADD in the "Offline Areas" section
- Zoom and/or pan the map to select your area. The app will estimate and display the area's download size.

*You can rename or delete your offline area by pressing on it from the SETTINGS tab
From a saved ride:
- Execute the steps to create an itinerary and SAVE your ride

You can consult all your offline areas from the "MAP DETAILS" menu (icon at the top right in the Maps tab)
Plan your routes
Plan your trail or off-trail adventures effortlessly using our app. Create itineraries for a seamless experience to enjoy turn-by-turn navigation with real-time distance updates to your destination and next stop. You can also customize your journey by adding points of interest like gas stations, restaurants, or accommodations. For off-trail excursions, it is possible to manually add waypoints on the map so the itinerary will dynamically form with dotted lines indicating off-trail segments. Make sure you are being a responsible rider by staying on official playgrounds or owned land. Explore our Responsible Rider program for conservation tips. After completing and saving your route, you can analyze the terrain distribution of the included trails.

During your ride
When you're ready to go, be sure to follow the steps below!
Connect your phone to your vehicle
Connect your phone when you are ready to start your adventure and enjoy an enhanced riding experience with a 10.25" display-equipped vehicle.

If your vehicle isn’t equipped with the 10.25" display, you can still use and benefit from all of the BRP GO!’s features by using it on your phone.
