Careless developer

They collect way too much privacy invading data. They also didn’t implement a checking if media is already being played to avoid interruption other apps playing if one accidentally bumps a button. Clearly made by someone who never rides. Also the navigation is crazy. The navigation favorites don’t show even a nickname or anything on the bike.

It need a lot of more work

The app seems it will work but it doesn’t.

Needs improvement

The app is basic and the Satnav just about works if you get the right destination to begin with. The two major gripes are, the navigation resets every time you stop. Any other satnav would resume where it left off but this app starts recording a new journey with no destination. EG today I only did 80 miles but had 3 stops. This was recorded as 4 journeys. No other Satnav that I am aware of does that. Please fix this or at least give the user a choice.

Directions are terrible

Doesn’t tell you the exit for the upcoming roundabout. What’s the point?

Please integrate Google Maps for iPhone

If I can have turn by turn for Google on my Apple Watch we should at least get that for the bike. Please fix. Also I can’t set route in the app, only voice which is horrible

Please update this app!

Please, please update this app Honda! You have the skills to make excellent motorbikes - surely a functional road navigation app that is compatible with other navigation apps isn’t beyond your technical expertise!

Worst app ever

Come on Honda you need to attend to this soon.

why do you need such a personal information? Why do i have to accept it to use this app?

From your agreement:

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Personal Information

Identifiers such as name, social security number, driver’s license number, other government identification number, IP address, social media username, student identification information, and contact information such as address, email address, phone number, and fax number
Education information.. etc

Again:
Aren’t collecting these information too much??

Terrible

How can a big multinational company like Honda produce such a bad app that looks like it was knocked up in a weekend by an amateur. They need to hire a professional design team and developers to listen to the feedback and redesign the whole thing.

Not funcitonal

The app doesn’t work, I have a 2025 rebel 1100. 90% of the time I can’t even get the bike to show up when trying to go on a ride. I have to completely delete the Bluetooth and app and repair and now that doesn’t even work! I can get into the app see the bike but I can’t click on the gps or anything it does nothing! Infuriating app.

RoadSync

The RoadSync app works quite well for the functionality it has. The navigation is most functional with your smart phone in a holder and visible while driving the motorcycle. Music functionality is nice, but some extra features would be appreciated, like being able to move backward to previous tracks and switch music from the app. Also, podcast accessibility would be nice. Overall, the app isn’t bad and it sure beats using a smart phone by itself.

Keine Einstellungen

Es könnte eine gute App sein wenn das Lautstärken Problem nicht wäre. Musik hören und Navigationsansagen verstehen funktioniert nicht. Es kann doch nach Jahren nicht so schwer sein, gesonderte Soundregler für Musik und Navigations ansagen mit ins Programm zu nehmen. Ab 50 KMH ist die Navigations Ansage so gut wie nicht mehr zu verstehen. Außer ich drehe es auf 100 Prozent dann aber knallt einen, die Musik die Ohren weg.

Very poor

Most of the time it does not connect to the phone. When it does connect the Navigation instructions are ok, but the graphics for roundabouts are next to useless as they show straight over what ever the verbal instruction. The music app on jumps tracks forward and you must select what you want to play on the phone prior to riding. As Honda are a premium brand and the dealer promoted Road Sync. I am very disappointed. Come on Honda you must improve this.

走行ログをエクスポートしたい

このアプリとHonda Road Syncを「便利だ」として活用している方がどれくらいいるのでしょうか?私はNavi機能も天気予報も音楽の操作も使ったことないです。せめて走行ログをスマートフォンにファイルとして保存できるようにしてもらえませんか?何年も時間が経過したログは消えてしまうんじゃないかと不安になります。

Don’t expect much

I was excited about the prospect of RoadSync when I was buying the bike but now very unexcited! You can’t set a route unless the ignition is on! No chance of planning and setting a route on the sofa. Voice search just doesn’t work, comes up with nonsense. Even manually typing in a destination is fraught with.
Honda, forget this and just provide some decent 12V switched power that is accessible without removing panels. Come on, keep up!

Waste of time, eats battery

I’ve tried to use it, but it’s a total waste of time. Cannot create routes, can’t integrate with google maps, and it eats battery. Routes driven don’t appear until the next day. I’m struggling to understand what the purpose is. It would be far better for Honda to open the API and encourage maps SW makers to utilize it.

Sometimes it saves routes I’ve driven, which is the only useful feature, but often it doesn’t record them. The app is half baked and doesn’t reflect the high quality of Honda.

Gute Ansätze, aber noch ausbaufähig

Ich finde, die App wird hier im App Store teilweise deutlich schlechter dargestellt, als sie tatsächlich ist. Im direkten Vergleich mit anderen Hersteller-Apps, zum Beispiel von Yamaha, funktioniert sie bei mir deutlich zuverlässiger. Bei meiner vorherigen Maschine mit der MyRide App hatte ich sogar das Problem, dass die gesamte App teilweise gar nicht lief.

Das heißt aber natürlich nicht, dass hier alles perfekt ist. Der Funktionsumfang auf iOS ist spürbar eingeschränkt, die Verbindung ist stellenweise noch etwas hakelig und die Integration mit anderen Diensten ist aktuell eher gering. Gerade hier sollte Honda aus meiner Sicht unbedingt nachbessern.

Ich würde mir vor allem eine stärkere Integration von Siri wünschen, damit man mehr Funktionen während der Fahrt sicher und komfortabel nutzen kann. Außerdem wäre ein integrierter Routenplaner in der App eine große Verbesserung. Auch eine optionale Einbindung von Drittanbietern, zum Beispiel für Navigation wäre sinnvoll – gerne auch als kostenpflichtiges Upgrade oder Abo, solange es dann wirklich stabil und zuverlässig funktioniert.

Unterm Strich ist die App definitiv noch ausbaufähig, aber sie ist bei weitem nicht so schlecht, wie viele Bewertungen vermuten lassen. Mit etwas mehr Fokus auf Integration und Erweiterung könnte sie richtig gut werden.

Navigation is dangerous

I recently used Honda RoadSync navigation on my Honda Rebel 1100T in North Texas and experienced a serious routing issue that I believe is a safety concern.

The system routed me off major roads and onto poorly maintained rural roads, including areas with large potholes, flooding, mud, and heavy truck ruts. These conditions are not appropriate for a street motorcycle and created a situation where I had to carefully maneuver at low speed just to avoid losing control.

What made this more concerning is that RoadSync does not provide a visible map or route preview, so there was no way to identify or avoid the unsafe route in advance. I was essentially following turn-by-turn directions without context until I encountered hazardous conditions.

For comparison, standard navigation apps such as Google Maps on the same route selected only major, well-maintained roads.

Could do with more features to keep up with competition

The app works as intended but with other brands like cfmoto sync apps there really isn’t much to offer as of now. Would be good if you could see the current temps of your engine etc. so yeah more app features would be great

NT1100

Where’s the NT1100 or the Africa Twin?
