I brought the new 2022 Yamaha T-Max tech-max so in turn, I've downloaded Garmin Motorize, working great now! 👍👍👍

Once I read a few forums and reviews it was best to connect my smartphone to the bikes ccu with an usb-c to USB-C lead and Bluetooth, Wi-Fi was just awful, had to enter password every time even though I had to connect automatically ticked. What would give this 5 stars is if the motorize app could be available on a Carplay/Android auto device then your phone could be stowed away safely, and you can do all the functionality on a securely mounted dedicated screen.

Lots of checks to do but works. Room for improvement. Must use a good data compatible phone lead for connecting to my Yamaha Tracer 9GT+. Wi-Fi connection won't give you weather or traffic updates. On the lead connection, I've not had a problem. For me, just practice all the setting, and it does everything I want on a sat nav for motorbike you just have to find them in the settings. Could do with a makeover.

Have it on Galaxy s22 connected to new Yamaha Tracer 9gt+ via my ride link. Works mostly ok using Wi-Fi hotspot on bike but continually disconnects when using USB link. Tried different usb cables but same result. Having to use Wi-Fi hotspot means no Internet data available. Similar problems have been reported on TMAX with no solution

I use this app for my Tracer 9 GT from 2025, but I heavily dislike it mainly cuz the overlay feels very old, searching a place is not easy and if I export it from (google) maps I always ending up in France it's not a place i want to be nor is it close to the location I need to be (im from the Netherlands and driving in there) I even tried to reinstall it and still the same problems, the only thing it did was removing my favorites and nothing else improved... please Garmin fix it

It fails to connect too often to rely on. Garmin might recommend trying a wired connection to increase stability but if I have to have my phone on the handlebar I might as well just use my phone's navi and save the subscription cost.
