neodrives smartConnect description

With the neodrives smartConnect app on your smartphone you obtain useful additional functions. The app serves as an information center, which is always at hand. You can record the e-bike and map data of your tour and evaluate them afterwards.
As in-app purchase you unlock the Easy Navi module, the perfect complement for touring cyclists and urban explorers. You get worldwide offline maps based on Open Street Maps (OSM). The start-finish navigation guides you through scenic landscapes and e-bike-friendly bicycle routes. By connecting the smartphone to the sMMI Connect via Bluetooth, a turn-by-turn navigation is displayed on your sMMI Connect. The smartphone can be safely stowed in the pocket.

Please note for Android 6 or higher: To use the app, all permissions must be accepted. You will be asked at the first app launch to confirm everything with "Allow". Subsequently the permissions in the application manager -> smart connect -> permissions can be activated.

The map can now also be displayed in the MMI. However, the neodrives app must be actively open in the foreground of the smartphone when the smartphone display will be locked.

To run the new version of the app in combination with the sMMI Connect, an update of the sMMI Connect to the latest version is required.

The app is compatible for the neodrives Z15 system (up to model year 2017) and not compatbile to the Z20 sytem (starting from model year 2018).
