Great App for finding gas stations

Great app it came in handy several times while riding in western New York especially when a few of us were running low on fuel out in the middle of nowhere we were able to zoom in on the nearest town with gas station! Great app the only suggestion I have is add trail numbers on the app if possible

Awesome

Cant get lost with this app! Very accurate and easy to navigate.

Awesome app

This app is great when riding trails that you are not familiar with and especially when you are back country riding. The only thing that would be great to improve is to have the app track your progress even if you lose cell signal by using the map on your phone or come up with a better way to accommodate the lack luster cell service in western and northern Maine.

Good updated trails

The Vermilion Penguins rerouted the Iron Ore Snowmobile trail and the new route is posted. Awesome job at maintaining accurate maps

Rider x app

The app is really good but it could focus a good amount more on like local and club trails. But for being the only app out there like this is really good. Also I like the feature that it tracks where you have ridden.

Put 3400 miles on new axys this season used gps a lot found it to be very helpful. We could always figure out where we were at awesome tool to have on sleds

Snow trails rocks!!!!

Great app! I live right on ten main trails and this app is awesome helps a lot and lets me track my entire trips with friends a family! Cant wait for snow season 2015/ 2016

Worked great in NH/ME/Canada

Has worked great so far!! Looking for more great features in future updates. Cant wait to use it more in the 15/16 season

Wonderful app; will add a whole new dimension (recording / waypoint logging) and experience to the ride. The integrated location & mapping capability (where/when cell coverage available), will obsolete the hard copy maps and stand-alone GPS. Dongle functionality integrated in the APP provides a nice addition to the dashboard for Polaris riders. Much improved over previous version. To borrow a tag line from the past: When you head on to the trail, "Dont leave home without it".

Love the maps!!

We make sure to have at least one phone with this app before leaving the house. A must for snowmobiling. Great app!!

Bugs and Glitches

Whenever I try to go into the RiderX app to look at trails, it freezes and then kicks me out to my home page. It has happened for the last two updates and I thought it would have been fixed in the most recent update. Please fix that.

Sad

Sure would be nice if all my waypoints didnt get blown away on every update.

Directions a matter of LIFE or DEATH

This app is alright if you want to putz around the neighborhood or if youre in an area where there is a large population to go to for help. I would not recommend using your smart phone and this app together, you are asking for trouble. If you do use this app make sure to bring along a map, compass, matches (fire starter), knife, and always have in the back of your mind a readiness to sleep in the forest when you cant get home. I travel with a map a compass and my trustworthy talk to the satellites Garmin. We are in a sport that is expensive, dangerous, adventurous, always evolving and a lot of fun! You know the old adage "you get what you pay for", and direction are no exception. Be safe...be smart, have fun! JVB

Map is wrong

For northern Ontario, the latest app has many errors of where the actual trail is routes. Trails this have been the same for many years. The older version of the app was MUCH better. The trails were more accurate. Seems like the latest update takes its data from a different source and a very bad one at that. People that dont know the area and rely on the app are bound to get lost. Luckily signage in the area is great. The app not so much.

Snow depth

Please put snow depth back on the map layering

Good to terrible

App was decent last season but recent update is awful. Trail numbers and status was removed. Position is spot on but trail location isnt always accurate. Please fix or revert back to past app.

True north!

App needs a true north setting! The map is hard to use when it keeps repositioning depending on your compass heading.

Awful

Would not recommend this app to anyone, it doesnt show trail markers or cities or anything useful! Overall terrible app!

EXTREMELY USEFUL APP

I am so happy I stumbled upon this app, everything about it is great!!!

Trail markings

Great app. Allows for viewing when theres no cell phone service. ONLY problem is, that the trails are not marked with their designation labels. Trails are marked with Lat/Long. Please update your trail marking to the trail designator.
