Good to know

  • If your route contains more than 49 waypoints, the system may freeze
    • Has the system freezed? Turn off the bike and wait 10 to 20 seconds before restarting the bike;
  • Sometimes the BoomBox reacts slowly when you have clicked a button. Therefore, give the system some time to process your command before you start clicking different buttons;
  • The BoomBox only contains English as an available language for the text and voice instructions.
