FordPass Performance App for Bronco [Part 2]

[mrjerry469]

Why are people worried about being “tracked”? If you have a cell phone, it’s already a part of your life... potentially.

In the mean time, enjoy yourself and get rid of the cell phone, if that’s a concern for you. Yes, I think technology can go too far, but I’m not sure if trail maps are in that category. I could be wrong, I have been many times before.

I have a signal blocking case for my phone but it also blocks incoming calls and msg...

Im not that important to track.

If you can spend a penny you are important enough for them

of course you’re important to us regardless

I mean I guess you just don't have to download it if you don't really care about it. Nice for the newbies to get an idea of what they might be getting into though.

I was actually trying to be funny, sorry if it wasn’t clear

I hope it works out better then we expect

Wow is this cool! I wonder how much of northern Michigan is covered. We have tons of public trails up there!

Looks like Ford is really locking down their pitch for the Bronco -- new and experienced off-roaders alike. I'm absolutely excited about this, being a newcomer to the Bronco and off-roader community. I'm sure, as newer folks gain more experience this will probably fade into the background but this feels like a great balance between "going wild" and retaining a level of modern technology that's not in your face. Looking forward to this!

Zero trails in eastern Washington or north Idaho and Montana. Hmmm, guess there is nowhere to drive off road in these parts. I wonder why we have so many 4 wheel drive vehicles here. They all must be small crawlers.

I would like to know how to find trails in each state.

I was hoping for that also Dave.

Looks like you can use the search function within the app, but I would guess that you can pull up your location and zoom out and the trails will either be highlighted and visible to click on, or there will be a pin at the trail head. Similar to when you search for coffee shops and all of them within your screen pop up with little pins.

This is just my guess and how I would do it, but Ford could have gone a completely different direction.

Thanks for the info Philly. Dave, and I appreciate that bit of news, and I hope it is as you say.

I was telling the wife about this app the other day. We both agreed it would be nice if it somehow followed you, and you could check for trails as you traveled. That would be just to dang cool.

Dig it! This come in handy you're out on BFE! I think this be cool when out exploring Notom-Bullfrog out in Capital Reef also all the trails around Lake Powell and Escalate area. Then toss in some of the Res's. Tuweep out by the Grand Canyon. Factory Buttes! Ohhh the thoughts of cool places to see the layers!

It does seem the software developers have more exposure to trails in the west. Add in the fact the western states have more public lands and unpaved roads make them ideal for off-road adventures. We may have to craft our own trip routes and share the GPX files.

Here in Maine our trails are all very well known. They all lead to the LL Bean store in Freeport, Maine. The waypoints are all the Starbucks. Over the years I have earned a few trail badges while stocking up on flannel. I will have to get ready to share those GPX files as flannel becomes the Bronco preferred fabric.

It's odd it doesn't show anything in N.C. The Uhwarrie Nation Forrest has some of the best trails around. They go from "that was easy" to "Oh hell, we gonna die".
