Polaris Brings Comprehensive Update to RIDE COMMAND App And Platform
App-ATV integration still feels like sorcery to many of us old-school four-wheelers, and yet the strides being made by brands like Polaris in this regard are nothing short of amazing. Ever working to further the technological game, Polaris has been working for 18 months to rebuild its Ride Command platform for improved functionality and purpose.
We have a fair amount of experience using Polaris' Ride Command App and always found it to be an impressive bit of tech. From planning, mapping, and recording trail rides to being able to connect with other Ride Command-equipped vehicles, we never sought more from the Minnesota-based brand's tech.
Polaris obviously thought there was more to give, so they spent the last 18 months totally reworking Ride Command. They say this has made it "faster, more reliable, and even more capable to bring you the best riding features." To get there, maps can now be downloaded for offline use, which is a huge help in remote locales. Polaris has also made it so there are automatic updates for the Ride Command App. They also claim there are 1.3 million miles of trails mapped, and you can even use the app to remotely lock your vehicle for added security. Long story short, the App is better than ever before.
None of this may sound revolutionary, but improvements like these can be the difference between an app functioning as intended when you need it most or leaving you questioning whether to take the right or left at the next fork in the road. Now we just want to try it out for ourselves and see if reality delivers on the promises.
