BRP GO! is a mobile app offering navigation features (and more). BRP Connect is the software running on certain Lynx vehicle displays. This technology allows screen mirroring of some compatible mobile apps, such as BRP GO!.

Some web browsers (such as MI and DuckDuckGo) are not compatible with the BRP login and account creation tool, which makes it impossible to open the login page when a phone has one of these browsers by default. The solution is to change the default browser of the device to use another browser (for example: Chrome, Safari or Firefox).

    To change the default browser on your Android device:

    1. Go to the phone Settings
    2. Go to Apps
    3. Go to Manage Apps
    4. Tap on “...” (upper right)
    5. Go to Default Apps
    6. Go to Browser
    7. Select “Chrome” (or any other browser)

    To change the default browser on your iOS device:

    1. Go to phone Settings
    2. Scroll down until you find the browser app
    3. Tap the app
    4. Tap "Default Browser App"
    5. Select a web browser to set it as the default.

BRP is collaborating with many snowmobile associations and their participation in BRP GO! is totally at their discretion. Feel free to reach out to your local snowmobile Club or Provincial/State association to invite them to participate in this program.

BRP is continuously working to add more regions. If you would like your region to be included in BRP GO!, you can reach out to your local snowmobile association to express your interest.

If you download the app in a region for which BRP is not yet covering the trails:

You will be able to:
- See your GPS position on the map
- See topographic information on the map
- Create an account
- Invite friends
- Use the GO! mode without the trails
- Create custom POIs

You won’t be able to :
- Create itineraries (alone or with friends)
- Use the turn-by-turn navigation (alone or with friends)
- Use the GO! mode with the trails (alone or with friends)
- Look up POIs near you
- Use the offline mode

Colors on snowmobile trails represent the trail status. Here's what each color means:

- Green: The trail is available (open).
- Yellow dotted: The trail has limited availability (open, but not optimal). Snowmobilers enter with the understanding that they should exercise extreme care and reduce speed.
- Red dotted: The trail is unavailable (closed).
- Blue: The trail status is unknown. Depending on trail conditions, the trail could be open or closed, but we don't know the official status.

Trail status is defined by the snowmobile club or association in the region concerned. For the moment, the visibility of trail status is only available in some regions.
 

When the snowmobile season is over (usually in April/May), all snowmobile trails are removed from the map for safety reasons and to preserve the quality of the trails. The trails will be displayed again at the start of the next snowmobile season (usually in December).

Yes, it is possible to use the BRP GO! Navigation map in Dark mode, in addition to Light mode.

To change the map display mode on your phone:

Simply download map areas in the map in advance to ensure that the vast majority of navigation features will work at all times, even without a cellular network.

Not to worry, we are also making a new accessory available – the Glovebox Extension with Mobile Phone Heated Pocket; so that you can still use the app and all of its functionalities on your Lynx model in a safe manner while riding.
