Does the RiderNav Display Require an Internet Connection?

Updated over a week ago

The RiderNav Display does not need a constant internet connection for everyday riding. Navigation and online features come from your smartphone through CarPlay or Android Auto.

How It Works:

Daily Use - No Internet Required from RiderNav

RiderNav works as a smart display that mirrors your phone’s apps and screen. All navigation, maps, and connectivity are handled by your phone, which means:

  • Your phone provides the data connection for navigation

  • The RiderNav Display uses your phone's GPS and mobile data

  • No SIM card or built-in mobile data is needed in the RiderNav Display

  • No Wi-Fi connection is required during rides

When Wi-Fi Is Required

The RiderNav Display only needs a temporary Wi-Fi connection for:

  1. Initial Device Activation - When setting up your RiderNav Display for the first time

  2. OTA Firmware Updates - To download and install the latest software updates and features

These are one-time or occasional processes that can be completed at home or any location with Wi-Fi access.

Bottom Line

Once activated, RiderNav runs through your phone. As long as your phone has mobile data and GPS enabled, you’re ready to navigate—without needing any additional internet connection on the RiderNav Display itself.
