calling, etc. If you're using the My
Triumph app to navigate from your
smartphone, distance-to-turn and
arrowed directional instructions
will display but there's no map op-
tion. You can operate phone calls
and even your GoPro all from the
handlebar-mounted controls.
For motorcycle data use, the
screen view can be customizable
in four different arrays of bike
data. Those are all available in
four different colors or a high-con-
trast option (white background).
Most of the dash screens are
dominated by large digital graph
representations of a tachometer
(some going in multiple direc-
tions), big numbers for speed,
gear indication, mpg, range
and smaller fonts for time, temp,
heated grip/seat settings and
more. And also riding modes. In
short, a lot is going on. I found all
the color options underwhelming
and hard to process. So, I stuck
to high-contrast and luckily found
an analog tach so I could tell
where the engine was running.
Do you know what I really
want this screen to do? Show my
phone navigation apps like Waze,
Google, Apple Maps, Rever or
others. Those apps are superior
at navigating, circumnavigating
traffic and providing copious
amounts of information. Plus they
are built on search so if I need to
find a gas station anywhere in the
Triumph has
a boatload of
accessories for
the Tiger 900.
