Definately cool!We spoke about this earlier, in that Polaris has it's Ride Command app. Something like this for Scout/Jeep/Bronco/off-roading in general would be amazing.
A few ideas to further this:
- Incorperate voice communications between the group via the push to talk button on the steering wheel
- Have option to talk to all of the group at once (would think this would be a defalt setting for the push to talk button)
- Have option to talk to any group memeber indivually (after a certian time of not being used is should go back to the group defalt)
- Make this a phone app capible of working through Apple Carplay and Android Auto (Simular to previous post on OnX Trail app) - not sure how the Polaris one works??
- This would allow the use of it to open up to anyone that has Apple Carplay and Android Auto - to include older Scouts with upgraded head units.
- If it was a function within the Scout app, others could download the app to be able to use it in their vehicle. Would be fun to see the Jeep and Bronco die hards having to use the Scout app
- The guy in the video made mention of changin your group name to "SOS" when you were in trouble. Seems like an SOS button for the driver to click that pops up on the other groups screens would be a useful function.
- Instead of everyone being a blue arrow on the screen, having the ability to upload, or choose individual rig icons with the ablility to change the colors to match that persons rig would be nice. This would make it easier to identify Bob's rig, vs trying to figure out which blue arrow Bob is.
