DMD2 Development

I was wondering about genetic obd2 connectors.  Trying to get one installed on my Harley for the dmd2. So what is a brand and how do I get it to talk to dmd2?

Is it possible in a future upgrade to have an option to choose between Kmh and Mph?

I use meters but still ‘think’ of speed in miles per hour. It would be handy to be able to use metric measurements with speed in mph. I would imagine a lot of UK users would find this useful.

Hello DMD family

New user here. Just want to confirm and seek your expertise that as I upload a GPX file, does the T865X downloads the world imagery along it – or a way to ensure imagery is downloaded ?

This is to ensure that when I’m on multi day trips off the grid, no internet and no signal, I still have crisp imagery to drive off-road.

Once connected and online, the unit is always shows latest imagery.

Appreciate the pointers and references if this has been discussed already.

 

Cheers

Hi Ahmed,
I don’t know if I understand you correctly. In DMD2 you can download maps of countries so that they are available within DMD2 even if you don’t have Internet available via GPS.
Is this what you mean?

[M Ahmed]

Thankful for the reply. The current downloaded maps for my region is only topo maps and not a satellite imagery. But I understand it’s in the working to have the capability to predownload imagery and save it ; let’s see when it’s released !

Hi,
I noticed a strange behaviour of DMD2 on my Tripltek T93 when I used it as the startup-app.

Duing a Morocco Trip it happen 3 times to me, that the DMD2 installartion got corrupt in siome way I could not sort out. I could not start it at all. It endend with the need to reinstall it every time (including downloading all maps needed) – one time in the midle of the desert (funny enough, the mobile internet access seems to be better in Morrocco than in Germany considering that I was able to downlaod all that data inclduing the maps in just 30 minutes in the middle of nowhere).

I am using a Tripltek T93, Android Buil-Number TRIPLTEK_T93_20240315 and DMD2 3.00153

As mentiones, I used DMD2 as the standard Start-App, and the behaviour was, that it onyl displayed a black screen. I could access the Android settings page and when I selected DMD2 under Apps it only showed uninstall and forec to end but I could not start it whatever I tried. I tried reboot several times without any effect. I changed the Start-App but still could not start DMD2. The onyl way to get DMD2 running was to uninstall and reinstall – which is quite a hassle considering you need to downlaod all maps again.
After I stopped using DMD2 as the Start-App it seemed to be stable (however, I do not know if I was just lucky or if that finally solved the problem – however, it was stable then, for the last 7 of 14 days of the trip, and it is still stable til now 2 weeks later, although I hardly use teh tab right now)

It is very unfortunate, that I had al those troubls with DMD2, because there were another 5 riders whioch would probaly have started to use DMD2 if it would have been stable on my device…

Due to those experienceing of the need to re-install everything in the filed there are a number of additional topics that were quite annoying in such a situation:

1) The backup does not include the installed Maps, which is probalbly to prevent to install maps even if you do not pay for them, which I certainly unserstand – however, it is an absolute show-stopper if you cannot provide an interent connection – if that scenario woudl have happened in a siptuation where I had to rely on SMS2 for navigation, I would not have had any map – or need to use another nav app – which cannot be the solution for a grear product like DMD2 !!!

2) Track data seems not to be stored on as a file which is acessible without the active use of DMD2. Hence all my recorded Tracks are gone each time I had to reinstall – in such a situation obviously a backup would not have helped either, and a daily export of the track data is annoying for once and would still result in missing data of the current day – an easy solution would be to store track data as a file acessible by a file explorer. Also, I did not fidn a way to store teh backup locally on the tablet as a file (maybe I just don’t know how, but in my case I needed to have an active internet connection to retrieve my backup data)

I think most of your issues are related to the T93. I too have a T93 and have had some issues as well. I have found that by not having DMD as the main app seems to solve the issue.  Regarding your other issues after re-install, I too have have those issues on a trip. Now I do a DMD backup. Also I keep backups of all my tracks and such in a google drive folder on the t93 so I can easily re-import them if needed.
