Sael Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I won $500 for my club. A friend notified me of the program. I had been sending the GPS tracking of my last winter rides in central Vermont to him. He was then putting the correct trail coordinates into the Ride Command system and submitting them to Polaris for correction. The Ride Command Vermont trail maps hadn’t been updated in years and over the course of the year much of the state was updated. Over the summer Polaris came to an agreement with VAST to use their trail map, that combined with ongoing updates should have the Ride Command trail map as accurate as can be for Vermont. The $500 was a welcome bonus for the SnoBees snowmobile club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritos Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 It seems like a good idea on their part if they want to be the "go to" app for navigation. Trails change often and current info is golden. The best app will need the latest updates and who better than the clubs that create the path. A good usable app will add value to the hardware. It's a whole lot easier to upsell the gauge with mapping that actually works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
