Thank you!, Merci! I have been wrestling with this for a couple of days. This Video makes the most sense to me. I'll change the settings on my iPhone and give this a try

I had a problem all day with map mode not starting on my R1250RT. Turns out I had my VPN running on my phone. Turned that off and problem solved.

I have an RT and it’s great but the the system can be tricky. I have downloaded maps onto the Motorrad app but have never tried using it without data. I have never had weather avail on the screen.

Thank you for posting this video. I am considering an RT1250 with this display and the connection problem is one of my major concerns. Your comment about the dedicated second phone is interesting, If you have a phone with no data plan, can you still plan routes and use GPS as if you are using an activated phone with a data plan? Can this screen also diplay weather radar? Thanks in advance.
